The Velvet Bottle was created in response to a market saturated with predictable, trend-driven wines. I wanted bottles with depth, history and character.

As a boutique importer, we curate limited discoveries from independent producers, many from ancient winemaking regions rarely explored in Singapore. We choose wines for substance and interest, not simply price and create wine-led dining experiences where the menu is thoughtfully built around the bottle, not the other way around.

This is not just a business. It is about sharing wines I truly believe in.

Character over Convenience

At Velvet Bottle, we go back to the source. The best wines aren’t made by following trends — they’re shaped by time, place and the hands that nurture them.

We seek the interesting over the expensive, championing bottles that carry story, soul and history.

Wine isn’t a commodity here. It’s a story to sip, a taste to remember.

The Original Terroirs
We chase history, not hype. From the world’s oldest wine regions, we bring rare indigenous grapes to Singapore, bottles shaped by lineage, not labels.

Wine-First Dining
We let the wine take the lead. Every menu is crafted to highlight its story, letting flavours reveal the terroir in your glass.

Curated for Character
Each bottle is personally tasted and chosen for soul, not scale. The most interesting wines aren’t always the most expensive — they’re the ones that linger in memory.

Guides, Not a Catalog
We don’t just list bottles. We guide, inspire and help you explore new regions or build a collection with care and intention.

Partnerships with Soul
We collaborate with independent producers who honour tradition — from family vineyards to classic estates, bringing wines with history, craft and story straight to your glass.

We’re redefining the Singapore wine scene, building a community of the curious and shifting the focus from labels and price tags back to heritage, character and soul.

Our mission is to make “wine-first” dining the standard, where every meal lets the 8,000 year history of the vine take the lead.

Not just bottles but a new way to discover, experience and remember wine.
