An alcoholic tipple always gets a great weekend going. So let us clink our glasses to the long-awaited annual Wine Carnival for an intoxicating weekend at Urban Park from Jun 29- 30. Get ready to swill your way through the 100 different brands from all over the world and meet the craftsmen behind them.

Connoisseurs from the Sommelier Association of Singapore will bring you around the world from Australia to South Africa, every drop of wine at a time. For those who are venturesome, feel free to opt for their other ground-breaking choices.
