Whether it’s for exclusive tastings, masterclasses, or rare collections, wine connoisseurs converge at these best wine clubs in Singapore.
For many of us, wine isn’t just the occasional alcoholic bevvy to have while dining out – there’s a whole world out there that’s centred around the art of wine. And we can certainly see why, since each bottle speaks volumes of the terroir and time-honoured traditions of wine-making.
Whether you’re looking to expand your palate or seeking to connect with fellow wine aficionados, these seven members’ wine clubs in Singapore are a gateway to appreciating wine. Let’s cheers to never-ending wine lists, exquisite wine tastings, and plenty of expert masterclasses.
1. Park 90
Access to rare, hard-to-procure wines
It’s at Conrad Singapore Orchard’s lobby where you’ll find Park 90, a swanky wine lounge that prides itself on good wine and food. You’ll get to enjoy a bevy of privileges at this members-only club, from exclusive wine tastings to BYO Cellar Nights. There are also Wine Portfolio Tasting experiences held monthly, to try a range of old world wines and the occasional 100-point wine.
But membership at this wine club is most sought after for their access to wines on limited release – rare bottles that aren’t often available on the market. Part of their services include procuring coveted, rare vintages.
There’s also a team of sommeliers to lend you their expert opinion on which investment-grade bottles are best to add to your collection. A major plus: wines purchased here can be stored for free in their temperature-controlled and humidity-optimised cellar. You’ll also get to enjoy a special members-only price for all wines on their wine list.
How to be a member: Sign up at Park 90 with a sign-up fee of $500. You’ll also receive a complimentary bottle of champagne.
Membership fees: From $150 per month or from $5,000 (can be used for wine credits) annually

It was with great fanfare when private members’ club 67 Pall Mall first opened in early 2022. Perched at the top of Shaw Centre along Orchard Road, this fine wine club boasts the largest wine list in the region – a collection of more than 6,000 wines, with more than 1,000 available by the glass. With experienced sommeliers at the ready, you’ve got a knowledge of wealth on hand. The wine list is only available on iPads, with details on tasting notes, critics’ scores, and winemakers’ stories.
Besides appreciating rare wines, the club also hosts masterclasses, walk-around-tastings, and regular dinner parties. The very first 67 Pall Mall was in London, but now, they’ve got a global network of wine aficionados across cities like Verbier and Bordeaux. Pay heed to the smart casual dress code: it’s one of the few places in Singapore to put on a cocktail dress or smart trousers.
How to be a member: Submit an application form which includes a short biography.
Membership fees: $3,600 annually
3. Haus 65
100-point wines available by the glass
With Mandala Club being one of Singapore’s most sought-after social clubs for the younger folks, many members also naturally gravitate towards fine wine. And that’s how Haus 65 came about, a lounge space on the 21st floor of Mandarin Oriental that puts fine wine and oenology events at its core. While you’ll get access to hotel facilities – such as the pool, gym, and spa – you’re most likely there for the 1,000 label wine list.
There are also wine tasting sessions held weekly, held by certified leading sommeliers and renowned winemakers. Wines are stored in a large cellar, with a rotating wine list – you’ll get to try a few 100-point wines available by the glass. Fun fact: if you order the last glass from any of these bottles, you’ll get to choose the next bottle from the wine list to add to the selection.
How to be a member: You’ll need to be a member of Mandala Club or a hotel guest at Mandarin Oriental to access Haus 65.
Membership fees: Initiation fee starting from $2,500 and from $2,139 annually
4. Fine Wines Tasting Club
Thematic wine nights with blind tasting
Fine Wines Tasting Club might pride themselves on offering exceptional bottles of Bordeaux and Burgundy during tastings, but there’s no elitism whatsoever at this wine club. In fact, everyone is welcome to join whether a novice drinker or wine connoisseur. Here, the common topic is none other than wine – it’s where you’ll get to meet like-minded folks with no pretence or pretension.
Join one of their thematic wine nights to experience a blind wine tasting. Whether it’s new or old world wines, Super Tuscans or Bordeaux, or even China or France – each tasting is bound to pique your interest. Swirl your glass, take a sip, and see what nuanced notes come through: it’s a whole new world of wine out there when you’re going in blind. The Club also offers masterclasses with a focus on Italian and French wines.

The Club often holds wine dinners and tastings, where you’ll enjoy privileges like priority booking and special prices.

Speakers and experts are also often invited down to these events to share their vast know-how on different wine varietals.

With that in mind, came Wine Circle, a wine club just for members to share their enthusiasm around fine wines.
