Best wine bars in Singapore
1. Drunken Farmer
With three outlets across Singapore, Drunken Farmer offers good vibes and amazing wines. The go-to spot for natural wines and anything sourdough, this wine bar aims to connect wine farmers to people through its online store and restaurant. It served up a Farmer’s Flight which lets you sample three different natural wines from different farmers.
Its wines are all-natural and organic, meaning no chemical additives are found in the process – from growing the grapes to bottling it all up. We love how the selection is unique and can’t be found elsewhere in Singapore, so give them a try if you’re a fan of vino. With white, red, sparkling, rosé and orange wines, you’ll be spoilt for choice! Pair your tipple with one of its sourdough pizzas for maximum indulgence.
Drunken Farmer, 11 Stanley Street, Singapore 068730
2. Gaston
A homely shophouse bistro on the hip Keong Saik Road stretch, Gaston takes the classic French fare of Burgundy to its kitchen in Singapore, pairing plates of comfort food with 350 wine labels from France and beyond. Prefer to sample grape varieties by the glass? The selection features up to 15 wines, plus an ever-changing wine flight of the week to get that vino flowing through your veins.

Or, more specifically, to the wall stacked with all types of bottles, which they’ll happily tell you all about. Just keep an open mind with each mouthful and line your stomach with the kitchen’s impeccable small plates before you start sipping.

5. Wine & Chef
Also located in the Keong Saik area, this joint’s outdoor high tables make for a great people-watching perch. But if you’d rather have a quiet dinner, head indoors to unwind in peace. The wines shine a spotlight on Italy and pair nicely with Asian-inspired dishes that the kitchen whips up.

“A day without wine is a day without sunshine,” says the restaurant, and we totally agree. This charming Shaw Centre gem takes its tapas and vino seriously, with bottles brought in mostly from Spain and France. Suss out its assortment of sauvignon blanc, chardonnay and pinot noir, or browse through the champagnes and sweet late-harvest offerings from one of the best bars in Singapore.

13. Winestone
The cuisine is modern European and the wines are gentle on the wallet — so much so that you can easily take home a few bottles without feeling the pinch. In between nibbles of chorizo, ham and brie, take a swig of the affordable house whites or reds. Alternatively, for something on the premium end, have a look at the Bordeaux or Burgundy range.
