Marina Bay Sands has achieved something few hotels ever do: it brings the world’s finest wines into one luxurious, centrally located experience. With an unmatched breadth of selection, expert guidance at every table, and an unshakable commitment to guest satisfaction, it has become a must-visit for oenophiles. Here, the journey of wine is not about distance; it’s about discovery.
A Singular Destination for the Discerning Palate
Travelling the world to sample its most iconic wines is a dream for many connoisseurs. But what if that journey could be condensed into one ultra-luxurious address? At Marina Bay Sands in Singapore, the globe’s finest vintages from storied Bordeaux estates to rare Chinese wines are just a reservation away.
Global Wine Culture, Curated to Perfection
This iconic hotel is home to dozens of restaurants, each with its own wine list and in-house sommelier, yet all connected by a shared commitment to excellence. With more than 5,000 labels spanning 22 countries, the combined cellars represent one of the most diverse and extensive selections available anywhere in the world. Bottles range from the approachable, like a $258 Châteauneuf-du-Pape, to show-stopping rarities such as a $35,000 jeroboam of Amuse Bouche crafted by Napa legend Heidi Barrett.
Across the property, sommeliers wear their Wine & Spirit Education Trust pins with pride, signaling a level of training that matches the caliber of the wine list. Whether you’re sipping at a casual brasserie or fine-dining with skyline views, knowledgeable staff ensure each glass enhances the experience.
A Taste for Every Table
Each restaurant puts its own stamp on the collection. Milos leans heavily into Greek varietals, Maison Boulud is a haven for French classics, and Spago pours bold California wines alongside its West Coast fare. Guests will also find staples like Bordeaux and Napa Cabernets well-represented throughout the hotel, reflecting a widespread preference for robust reds.
For lovers of effervescence, there are about 120 Champagne options from 30 different houses. From crisp blanc de blancs to decadent vintage cuvées, bubbles are always on hand.
Food Pairing, Elevated
Singapore’s vibrant culinary culture offers ample opportunities for inspired pairings. At Rise, the hotel’s Southeast Asian dining spot, a local favorite Singapore chili crab is paired with an off-dry Riesling from Schloss Vollrads in Germany’s Rheingau region. The wine’s balance of acidity and sweetness is the perfect foil for the spicy, tomato-based sauce.
Even notoriously difficult ingredients get thoughtful treatment. Durian, Southeast Asia’s infamous fruit, finds an unlikely match in a late-harvest Tokaji from Hungary’s Disznókő estate. Its honeyed complexity softens the durian’s bold intensity, especially when served as a soufflé at Maison Boulud.
Asia’s Most Ambitious Wine Program
At the heart of this ambitious program is wine director Britt Ng, whose vision blends Old World prestige with a forward-thinking embrace of Asian wine culture. His latest project is building Singapore’s largest cellar of Chinese wines, with 100 labels curated for a forthcoming Cantonese fine-dining concept.
Each venue operates its own cellar, but guests enjoy a unique freedom. Any bottle, from any list, can be uncorked anywhere across the hotel. Whether it’s love at first sip or a desire to revisit a favorite vintage, the answer is always yes.
