In seeking magic moments caught in a bottle we have searched all over the wine producing world – from the ethereal wines of Burgundy in France, to the robust show stoppers from the Barossa Valley in Australia. However finding them is just the beginning of the story and the journey from the cellar door to the tables of Asia is a long one in a steel box. Through an unbroken temperature controlled supply chain to our seventeen wine shops and two restaurants, thousands of people are now able to experience some of the world’s best wines the way the winemaker intended.
This commitment not only to the wines, but also to their careful transportation and storage, has created partnerships with leading Singapore icons such as Singapore Airlines, Raffles Hotel, Tower Club, Hilton Hotel, The Intercontinental, Duty Free Services (DFS) and the Ritz-Carlton Millennia. Now we bring that same commitment to the Philippines.

Thus, the company is willing to expand total seating capacity to 250 and to offer wine-tasting events, special promotions and a More Vino wine club to attract and retain a regular clientele in future.
