Singapore's Biggest Champagne Festival Champagniac 2026 Returns With Exclusive Masterclasses, Art Workshops & New VIP Cuvée Tastings

Champagniac returns for its second edition from Nov 13 to 15, this time at National Gallery Singapore’s Supreme Court Terrace, featuring sommelier-led tours, masterclasses, an art exhibition and workshop, a gourmet market, and an exclusive VIP lounge alongside tastings from top producers.

This year, the event runs 14–15 November (11am–2pm & 4–7pm), following an exclusive preview night for Gallery members on 13 November (7–10pm). Returning names include Maison Collery, Pommery and Henri Giraud, while A. Margaine, Gusbourne, Lancelot-Pienne and Selosse Pajon are among the newcomers.

Other festival highlights include the return of sommelier-led tours, an lineup of three masterclasses, this year’s gourmet market edition, onsite art workshop by French artist D’Gers (with complimentary workshops for the first 30 persons per session), the exhibition A Toast To Seeing Life Differently by German artist Míru and live spins from DJ Samurai, DJ Krys and DJ Val.

Founded by Champagne enthusiasts for fellow lovers of the bubbly, the independent wine festival drew 1,400 attendees to its inaugural edition at Jewel Changi Airport last year.

New this year, the dedicated VIP experience takes over the venue’s private Glass Room. Guests can enjoy lounge seating, an art exhibition by German artist Míru, and eight premium cuvée pours at a private tasting bar. 

Co-founder Yeo XiYang, Singapore National Sommelier Champion (2022) and Sommelier-Owner of Southeast Asia's first dedicated Champagne bar, Convivial, personally handpicked the range of bottles which will be presented in the Glass Room.

These include brands that are present at the fair, but with rarer cuvées that won’t be poured as part of the lineup. Standout pours include Egly-Ouriet V.P. Grand Cru, Henri Giraud MV20 Aÿ Grand Cru, and Jacquesson Cuvée 743. VIP guests can also add on a Grower ($60) or Grande Maison ($80) package.

Artist Features

Singapore-based French artist D’Gers will also be a part of this year's events.  For the past nine years, her vibrant, mixed-media creations celebrate human emotion, cultural exploration, and connection. Inspired by the personal encounters and discoveries that shape our lives, her work translates shared experiences into visual art.

At Champagniac, she presents A Stroke of You — Champagne & Watercolour, an interactive workshop where participants express the sensations and emotions of tasting champagne through watercolour to design their own custom postcard artwork. The first 30 attendees at each session can participate for free, with subsequent tickets priced at $10 each.

Singapore-based German artist Míru will also present A Toast to Seeing Life Differently, featuring selected works alongside a new painting created specially for Champagniac. The exhibition celebrates purpose, achievement, and human connection, using Champagne as a metaphor for finding joy and celebration in everyday moments.

Official glass partner SKLO returns this year, gifting every ticket holder a SKLO Linear N.1 340ml glass (worth $69). Designed in Singapore, this versatile tasting glass features a balanced bowl optimized to highlight delicate wine aromatics.

Masterclasses

Sessions are ticketed and limited to 24 persons per class. Only open to valid ticket holders for that day.
