Here’s why curated events are all the rage in Hyderabad

Curated menus with choice crafts and hands-on workshops — this is how post-pandemic Hyderabad is socialising and partying in 2021

Post pandemic, private get-togethers in Hyderabad are all about exclusivity and curated menus.

After many months of lockdowns, these are designed to bring like-minded people together over common interests. So apart from the food, there is a focus on planning an activity for the group from cook-offs to photography classes. The trend started during the pandemic when friends and families met in small groups in keeping with mandatory safety protocol.

Suryaveer Singh, founderof Hyderabad Wine Society was pleasantly surprised when a wine dinner he announced was sold out in a night. He adds that, as lockdowns eased, he was approached by an increasing number of people who wanted help with hosting wine dinners for private get-togethers. “This wasn’t the case before the pandemic. Hosting curated events for like-minded groups of people is a totally different experience because it has to be tailor-made.”
