Commonly Asked Questions

Event Planning and Logistics

How long does a wine tasting session last?

Our standard signature experience is balanced at 2 hours, providing space for enjoyment and connection.

Yet, the tempo is always yours. Whether you require a 20-minute ‘refresh’ or an extended 3-hour networking experience, we adjust the event’s rhythm to perfectly match your purpose.

How early should we book?

We design each experience bespoke, so a 4 week lead time is ideal for thoughtful curation.

However, we understand that inspiration can strike suddenly. If your timeline is tighter, please do reach out. We are known for bringing the necessary magic, even at the very last minute, to ensure your event feels effortless.

Where are your tastings held?

We bring the full experience—the wines, the glasses, and our signature ambiance—directly to your office or chosen venue in Singapore.

For those preferring an offsite setting, we also maintain thoughtful partnerships with restaurants, venues, and hotels for offsite hosting. We come to you, or you may join us at a curated location.

What's the ideal group size?

20 to 40 guests often creates the perfect balance for deep connection and conversation.

Yet, our design is always bespoke. We comfortably host everything from an intimate circle of 5 to a grand affair of 100 guests and beyond. Your intentional purpose is all that matters.

The Experience

What is a Simplicity Wines event actually like?

Imagine the warmth of a perfect dinner party, gently elevated.

Your experience is guided by our founder—part sommelier, part friend—who seamlessly weaves easy education, subtle entertainment, and genuine human connection into one effortless evening.

Can we personalize the event?

Every detail is an invitation to be bespoke.

From weaving in a company value or highlighting a team success, to curating the wines, glassware, colour tones, and even custom-branded bottle labels—we encourage you to make the event completely, beautifully yours. It is our joy to ensure your vision, however grand or subtle, is realised with effortless precision.

Does the experience require prior wine knowledge?

Never. We are here to host, not to lecture or sell wine.

The atmosphere is one of joyful, approachable connection—no prior knowledge is required, only an open heart. Every guest is welcomed and made to feel completely at ease.

Do you include food?

The experience is gently elevated by our recommended cheese and canapé pairings.

For a complete dining experience, we collaborate with our curated catering and restaurant partners to design a bespoke, perfectly paired menu that completes your vision.

What is included?

Simplicity Wines designs a complete, bespoke orchestration built around your purpose. This may include the curation of wines, glassware, service staff, and venue, alongside our expert event management and founder-led sharing. Whether you need a simple session or fully customised elements like branded booklets or menus, we ensure every necessary detail is covered with quiet elegance.

Can we add branding or messaging?

Absolutely. Your identity is a vital layer of the experience.

We see this as an opportunity to co-design your narrative—from subtle details like custom name welcome cards and booklet inserts, to a perfectly timed, signature corporate toast. We ensure your company’s personality is thoughtfully and elegantly woven into the evening’s fabric.

The Business Side

What is the investment?

The investment is designed entirely around your vision.

Simply share your budgetary guidance, and we will thoughtfully curate a bespoke Simplicity Wines experience, complete with a detailed custom proposal for your team’s assured approval.

How does this align with our corporate budgets?

Our experiences are intentionally designed to align with strategic corporate budgets: L&D (for team building and development), HR (for culture and staff welfare), and Marketing/CS (for client loyalty).

We are mindful of clear corporate optics and ensure all proposals are structured for effortless internal approval.

Do you offer recurring event partnerships?

Yes. The most impactful client relationships are built through treasured, consistent connections.

We design customised, recurring frameworks specifically for Event Planners requiring a steady stream of product showcases, or for Marketing and Client Success teams managing rotating ‘Top Client’ appreciation sessions. It is a seamless, evolving partnership built on assured elegance.

What is your payment policy?

We respect the need for clear financial simplicity.

Payment is structured as a 50% deposit to reserve your date and commence bespoke planning. The final 50% is due two working days prior to the event’s start. Full upfront payment is also welcome. Please note, we do not extend credit terms.

Do you accept credit cards?

Yes, we do. To facilitate effortless internal claims and reimbursement, we can readily issue a payment link and include the relevant processing fees within your final invoice.

What is your cancellation policy?

Upon confirmation with your deposit, we commit exclusive time and resources to the planning of your event. Should the engagement be cancelled entirely, the initial fifty percent (50%) deposit remains non-refundable, as this secures our dedicated commitment and reserved date.

What is your postponement policy?

We approach every partnership with personal care, yet a firm commitment to our schedule.

Date Postponement (5+ working days prior): A request to change the confirmed date will incur a commitment fee equivalent to ten percent (10%) of the total invoiced amount, and is subject to the availability of our schedule for the new proposed date.
Last-Minute Postponement (Less than 5 working days prior): Date changes within this short window are generally not accommodated.
