From unlimited tastings of over 400 wines to exclusive masterclasses, the one-day-only festival is equivalent to wine Disneyland for all enthusiasts alike
Following a triumphant debut in 2023, Fruits of the Vine is making its anticipated return on January 27, 2024, at the newly minted The Singapore Edition. Building upon the enthusiasm garnered from the inaugural edition, the one-day-only wine festival promises an extraordinary immersion into the world of wine. Wine enthusiasts can expect to taste over 400 exquisite wines from over 100 notable labels as well as opportunities to rub shoulders with a stellar line-up of renowned winemakers from across the globe.
From Rhone Valley darlings of Château de Beaucastel to the dynamic Super-Tuscan producer of Tenuta San Guido, these are just some of the impressive houses that attendees can look forward to at the grand walkabout. The main sampling event will sport two ticketing tiers: the regular, which grants access to over 200 wine labels from diverse regions available to sample; or the VIP, which unlocks unparalleled access to more than 400 curated premium wines and face time with the winemakers themselves. Other renowned labels to look out for are Troplong Mondot, 00 Wines, Cos d’Estournel, Giacomo Conterno, Frescobaldi, and more.
