Wine lovers rejoice! The Decanter Fine Wine Encounter (DFWE) is set to return to Singapore on Saturday, 22 November 2025, once again resented by Decanter, the world’s leading wine media brand.

After its successful debut last year, its return reaffirms its position as Southeast Asia’s most exclusive celebration of fine wine. First launched in London and sold out for the entire 27 years of its journey, the Decanter Fine Wine Encounter has become one of the world’s most respected consumer wine events and is part of the prestigious Global Fine Wine Encounter Program. 

The Grand Tasting remains the central feature of the event, uniting over 50 prestigious wineries from both Old and New World wineries. Guests will have the opportunity to sample up to five wines per producer, encompassing everything from legendary vintages and special bottlings to large format selections.

This year's event is enhanced by the addition of the Decanter World Wine Awards (DWWA) Winners' Table. This exclusive feature grants access to a curated selection of wines that achieved Gold, Platinum, and Best in Show status for 2025.

Complementing the main tasting are also a series of masterclasses, each spotlighting a leading name or region through tastings and storytelling from the winemakers themselves:

• Château Margaux, spanning four decades of wine from one of Bordeaux’s First Growth estates.
• Brunello di Montalcino, a comparative exploration of 2010 and 2020 vintages from four producers of the Italian red.
• Henschke, featuring its flagship wines, including the legendary Hill of Grace Shiraz.

There will also be a series of Editor's Lunches that can be booked in combination with a Grand Tasting ticket, including a three-course lunch and a focus on specific regions, including Champagne, Tuscany, Chile and Bordeaux!
