That’s A Pairing Worth Sharing
There is a symbiotic relationship between eating & drinking that’s been cultivated throughout history. However, in recent times we’ve witnessed an evolution in culinary experiences becoming mainstream attractions for small & large businesses. As globalisation has taken the market by storm, patrons have been introduced to cuisines from around the globe – food and drinks once only celebrated within a specific region are now being shared with thousands of enthusiastic foodies. This love for culture, combos and experiences has driven growth in the hospitality sector – sparking unique tasting room fit-outs & equally unique food pairing experiences that encourage patrons to linger for longer and spend more money. Many hospitality venues are even choosing to specialise in specific pairings and some fine dining establishments are hosting regular culinary experiences. So, whether your patrons appreciate the finer things in life or they just enjoy a good combo, these food pairing experiences will continue to grow in popularity – think coffee & donuts, fish & lemonade, cheese & wine.
