About this Event

Inspired by the historic gardens of Persia — spaces created for gathering, reflection and hospitality — this immersive evening combines food, creativity and ritual in a celebration of culture through the senses.

Expect fragrant spices, candlelight, floral notes and moments designed to slow down, connect and discover.

What to Expect

  • Persian Spice Blending Workshop – Explore the flavours and aromas found across Persian cooking and create your own Persian-inspired spice blend to take home. Discover how herbs and warming spices are used to create balance, fragrance and depth in traditional dishes.
  • Pressed Flower Candle Workshop – Inspired by the colours and botanicals of Persian gardens, decorate your own candle using pressed flowers and delicate floral compositions to create a beautiful keepsake.
  • Persian Food Experience – Enjoy a selection of small sharing dishes served throughout the evening, celebrating the fresh herbs, warming spices and generous hospitality at the heart of Persian cuisine.
  • Music & Atmosphere – Be immersed in the sounds and ambience of Persia through carefully curated music and a setting inspired by traditional gardens and gatherings.

The Experience

Persian culture places great importance on gathering, beauty and welcoming others. This evening is designed around those same values — inviting guests to slow down, create with their hands, enjoy food together and experience culture in a meaningful way.

Silk Road Journeys moves beyond the traditional supper club format to create evenings that are immersive, interactive and rooted in cultural exchange.
