California Wine Month returns to Singapore this June, inviting wine lovers to a month-long celebration of the Golden State’s finest pours. This encapsulates a continued legacy of wine appreciation – one that has captured the hearts of Singaporeans since its first entrance in 2022, across restaurants and retail spaces.
Wines of California: The ‘Golden State of Mind’
California Wine Month is a true reflection of the ‘Golden State of Mind’, a philosophy rooted in sustainability and rich winemaking heritage. As the world’s fourth-largest wine-producing region, California boasts more than 110 grape varieties and a kaleidoscope of exquisite wine flavours. An impressive 80% of the state’s wines are produced in a certified sustainable winery, a testament of Californian wineries’ commitment to the future of Planet Earth.
“We’re excited to return to Singapore to showcase the diverse offering from California and California’s efforts related to sustainability are unsurpassed. We want to communicate these efforts and our focus on leaving our world sustained for future generations. We believe that these positive principles are also important to consumers so they are aware when they make their wine choices and can join us on this journey.”, says Christopher Beros, Greater China and Southeast Asia director of the Wine Institute.
