With wines covering a range of price points, it is set to be the one-stop shop for casual and elevated indulgence. For those looking for something special, keep your eyes peeled for premium bottles and global best-sellers that will be brought to Singapore for the first time like Félix Solís Mucho Más Tinto N.V., a bold Spanish blend of Syrah and Tempranillo, or Astrale Special Edition that offers a robust blend of Sangiovese, Montepulciano, Primitivo, Aglianico, and Nero d'Avola. If you’re eager for something lighter, look forward to the Hans Greyl Sauvignon Blanc for zesty bursts of crisp tropical notes.

If you’ve ever wandered aimlessly in bottleshops, struggling to find the perfect bottle to gift, this will be a thing of the past. In the name of accessibility, the flagship store masterminded a Vivino Recommends kiosk, where learning and exploratory fun will enhance your shopping experience—without the anxiety. Here, Vivino will offer technology-backed tailored recommendations gathered from crowd-sourced data on its digital spaces to ensure customers leave confident of their selection. Perhaps it may push you beyond your vinous comfort zone.
Those hoping to expand their artillery of spirited knowledge can look forward to the in-house open-concept wine bar that will offer the chance for customers to try a rotating selection of wine by the glass before committing to the bottle. A menu of tapas will also be served up to complete your wine-tasting odyssey.
When the doors open, this all-inclusive wine retreat for tasting, exploring, and connecting, will be made more enticing by Vivino’s upcoming year-round activities. Keep your eyes peeled.
