The Old Vine Festival

Be part of a first at The Old Vine Festival in Singapore, running 26–28 June — Singapore's first festival dedicated to South African wines made from old vines. Across three distinct experiences, you'll taste certified old‑vine wines from vineyards planted across five decades, from the 1940s to the 1980s, and from contrasting regions such as Stellenbosch and high‑altitude Piekenierskloof.

Whether you prefer a relaxed tasting, a structured masterclass or an intimate wine dinner, there's a way in for every kind of wine lover.

The Old Vine Festival: Wine Dinner hosted by Annette Scarfe MW

About the Wine Dinner

This wine dinner is for guests who want to experience South African wines made from old vines in their natural habitat: on the table with food. Over multiple courses at Praelum, Annette Scarfe MW leads an informative but relaxed guided tasting, showing how old‑vine wines from different regions and sites — such as Stellenbosch and Piekenierskloof — behave alongside contrasting dishes. It's a slower‑paced, social evening with time to revisit glasses, ask questions and enjoy conversation in a comfortable setting.
