8 Best Wine Tasting Classes in Singapore (2026)

Wine education in Singapore ranges from a one-hour guided tasting to a multi-day qualification with an exam, and the right class depends on which end you want. This guide covers eight providers that publish wine classes on their own websites: casual merchant workshops, specialist wine schools and a public training institute. Each write-up says what the provider itself lists, so treat dates as a starting point and confirm the current schedule, age requirement and booking route directly. We left out bars and shops that only pour wine, and providers whose sites show no recent classes. Read the short checklist at the end before you pay for anything.

Pop Up Wine, a Singapore wine seller, runs guided tasting workshops from its warehouse space off Tagore Lane, and its events page lists a run of them for late October 2026. The sessions are short, themed tastings: its site names wine appreciation, New Zealand, Italian, French and Australian workshops, plus a whisky discovery session. The appreciation workshop is described as a guided tasting led by its wine experts through Australia, France, Italy and New Zealand, covering tasting notes, winemaking and food pairing. Reservation is required, with each session ticketed separately on its site. The page also mentions planning workshops for event drinks and for sommelier-style personal planning. For a first class with no exam attached, it is one of the lighter-commitment options here.

Straits Wine Company is a wine merchant whose events blog shows a steady 2026 calendar of tastings and masterclasses held at its UE Square venue. Entries include a guided masterclass on a single Bordeaux estate, a teatime tasting session pitched as relaxed rather than stuffy, and seasonal wine evenings. These are social, themed events rather than certificate courses, so they suit people who like learning by tasting together. Separately, a page on its site invites enquiries for sommelier-led wine events for corporate gatherings, private parties and small tastings, either at your own location or at one of its venues. It asks for an event request form and says the team replies within a few business days. Check the events blog for the next public date.

Fine Wines SG is a fine wine distributor that also runs its own School of Wine Education from a tasting room in the Lavender area. Its site lists WSET Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 wine courses, and its footer describes the company as an Approved WSET Programme Provider. The Level 2 page says the programme includes tasting over forty bottles, learning the WSET systematic approach to tasting and working through label terms, grape varieties and food pairing principles. It also describes a luxury-focused curriculum with older vintages. The page mentions SkillsFuture Credit and NTUC UTAP funding, so ask about eligibility. Enquiries go through a WSET email address, WhatsApp or the sales line listed on the site.

The Beverage Clique describes itself as a consultancy and training company for the drinks trade, and its course catalogue includes a substantial wine section. Its site lists WSET Level 1, 2 and 3 Awards in Wines, a WSQ Provide Wine Service course, and Wine Scholar Guild French and Spanish Wine Scholar programmes. The Level 2 page shows in-person dates in October 2026 and says participants taste at least thirty-five samples and must be of legal drinking age to take part in alcohol tasting. The exam is scheduled weeks after the course. The academy is based near Clarke Quay and lists weekday office hours, an enquiries email and a WhatsApp link for questions. It suits people aiming for a qualification.

Wine Language is a Singapore training company whose site says it offers courses from partners including the Wine and Spirit Education Trust, the Whisky Ambassador and sake sommelier bodies. Its in-person page lists WSET Level 1, 2 and 3 Awards in Wines, with classroom teaching, guided tastings and an on-site exam, and it also sells online wine courses with remote exams. Its contact page names a training venue on Holland Avenue and a head office in the Ubi area. The homepage lists upcoming intakes for 2026 and says it also designs tailored corporate workshops. Registration is through an online form, and the page gives a course email, phone number and WhatsApp link. A sensible pick if you want a qualification with online or classroom options.

Taberna Wine Academy presents itself as a wine school and tasting venue in Redhill, offering tastings, events and courses pitched at both professionals and consumers. Its homepage lists WSET Level 2 Award in Wines evening classes, with an October 2026 intake and a January 2027 intake, each shown as a four-hour evening slot, which may suit people who work during the day. It says that, besides its structured courses, it occasionally hosts tutored wine classes led by visiting producers and industry figures, and invites visitors to join a free wine club to hear about them. The homepage showed no public master class scheduled when we checked, so ask about one-off sessions before planning around them.

Asian Culinary Institute, which its site says is part of Nanyang Polytechnic, runs a Wine Appreciation and Oenology short course from the Lifelong Learning Institute near Eunos. The course page describes a classroom-based weekend course that has learners evaluate the flavours and characteristics of Old World wines, and its learning points include still and sparkling wines, labels, glassware, nosing and tasting, and a five-step tasting routine. It lists a late November 2026 intake and says that sign-up is through the Skills Training and Enhancement Portal with SingPass. The page also describes subsidy and SkillsFuture options for eligible Singaporeans, so check your eligibility with the institute. It is a practical choice for a two-day, non-WSET course from a public training institution rather than a merchant.

Wine Connection, the wine retailer and bistro group, runs a Training Centre that its site describes as an Approved Programme Provider for the Wine and Spirit Education Trust. Its WSET course page lists the Level 1 Award in Wines, described as an introduction to wine tasting steps and basic wine analysis, and the Level 2 Award, described as a beginner-to-intermediate course on key styles, regions, main grape varieties and reading labels. The page says the courses are open to enthusiasts, students and trade professionals, with an online sign-up link. The website does not state where the Training Centre classes are held, so confirm the venue when you enquire. Ask the team about the next intake dates.
