Wine Fiesta 2018 – The Body of Wine

Into its 11th year, Singapore’s largest annual outdoor wine festival Wine Fiesta moves indoors for the first time this edition on Saturday 20 October and Sunday 21 October 2018 from 12noon to 10pm on both days at the Fullerton Bay Hotel.

Not only will this year’s Wine Fiesta by The Straits Wine Company will move indoors for air-conditioned comfort in the luxurious setting of the Fullerton Bay Hotel, this year’s theme of “The Body of Wine” will also attempt to change how festival goers explore their wines. In addition to being lined up by regions, each bottle of wine will also be labeled by their robustness – “light-bodied”, “medium-bodied”, and “full-bodied” – in order to guide wine enthusiasts to better appreciate wines of similar styles. The assumption here – and it isn’t a bad one – is that if you like a heavy bodied Shiraz, for example, chances are you’re likely to also enjoy an Amarone.

“We know our guests want to indulge in variety, and to learn more about the world of wine in a fun, relaxed atmosphere,” says Ms Kathy Lim-Sheehy, Group CEO of The Straits Wine Company. “And we can’t wait to show everyone our new way of presenting wines by varietal and body-style.”

And if you’re still lost, there will be a host of winemakers there to share more about their wines.

Expect over 250 featured wines paired with gourmet treats even as you enjoy the views of Singapore’s waterfront in airconditioned comfort. Tickets start from $45+ for a standard ticket and can be purchased here.
