SAVOUR Wines 2016

September 8th, 2016 365days2play

The second part of SAVOUR 2016 is back from 9 – 11 Sept 2016 (read about the first part here), and this time, the focus is on wines! There will be a Wine Market which will house over 400 labels of wines from all over the world, such as from south America, California, Australia, Spain and Argentina. Entry to the Wine Market is via pre-purchased Wine Tasting Cards at $15 for 10 wine tastings or $20 for 20 wine tastings.

Each pre-purchased card comes with a free limited edition SAVOUR Wines wine glass, which can also be bought separately for $10. Wow so that means you’re paying only $5 for 10 wine tastings if you go for the $15 card! That’s like 50 cents per glass! Sounds like a good deal to me. Smile

Even if you don’t want to pay for the wine tastings, you should still make a visit to SAVOUR Wines because there are also free masterclasses on wine pairings, glassware, tasting notes etc. Each class fits a maximum of 20 people. And the maximum number of people allowed at every session of SAVOUR Wines is 700 peeps.

Savour 2016 is back this year from 12 – 15 May and is currently on-going as we speak! This year, being the 5th year that Savour has been held, the format has changed into 3 exciting, specially-themed editions.

The 2016 Calendar:

But more importantly, this year’s SAVOUR Gourmet will feature FREE ENTRY! A total of 10 restaurants are featured at the Gourmet Village, and dishes are priced at the more affordable pricing of either $6 or $12. Cash and credit are now also accepted on the grounds. You can also purchase the SAVOUR Experience Pack for $30 which includes vouchers to be spent at the Gourmet Village and Jasons Gourmet Market, a goodie bag and an exclusive Xiao Long Bao from 3-michelin starred Bo Innovation (otherwise not available to the public)!

2016 also marks the debut of DBS Live Your Dream initiative, which provides emerging home-grown talents a platform to showcase their culinary skills. You can play a part in helping to pick out the next culinary star by voting for your favourite up and coming chef during the 4 day event.

The 10 restaurants featured are

  • Artichoke – Jonathan Lee with mentor Bjorn Shen
  • Buona Terra – William Bai with mentor Denis Lucchi
  • CATO – Tommy KJim with mentor Ethan Li
  • Gattopardo – Kenneth Oh with mentor Lino Sauro
  • abyrinth – Han Liguang (slugging it out on his own)
  • Lower East Side – Michael Yeong with mentor Claudio Sandri
  • Salt Tapas & Bar – Ronald Li with mentor Luke Mangan
  • Saveur Art – Tyler Lai (slugging it out on his own)
  • Guest Team R&D – Eric Chong (Masterchef Canada Winner) with mentor Alvin Leung

I had a sneak peek on Thursday, and my was the whole place teeming with activity. Did I mention that the location is also more accessible this year? It’s located at the empty field next to Marina Bay Sands, so for those coming by public transport, just take the MRT to Bayfront MRT Station and it will be a 5 minute walk to SAVOUR.
