Our History

Cherwell Wine and Spirits Singapore was established in 2017 by 2 Oxford PhDs who caught the wine bug and met each other while over there. We are first and foremost wine enthusiasts who can’t wait to share our knowledge and passion with everyone. We aim to nurture and foster wine appreciation and help you choose the right wine for the occasion, always.

Cherwell Wine and Spirits is a WSET approved programme provider and we offer the WSET Level 1, 2 and 3 in Wine courses. We have over 800 alumni which have taken 1 or more wine courses with us and they form an engaging, wine loving community which we play an important role in maintaining and growing.

Service

Other than holding WSET courses, we also hold bespoke tastings, help plan your next private event and will help you build your cellar or consult on your wine lists. Since 2019, we have also been leading wine tours to renowned wine regions, focusing on visits to the best producers, dining at top restaurants with amazing food and wine lists and making memories of a lifetime on these trips.
