For the first time in Singapore, come drink and be merry as you learn from some of the best natural winemakers at the Vivent Les Vins Libre (VLVL) Festival 2019.

Meaning “Live Free Wine”, the Les Vivent les Vins Libres is a collective of natural winemakers with a common goal — to share their passion for natural wines and winemaking philosophy.

Since it started a little more than a decade ago, natural winemakers have gathered every June in Paris showcasing their wine and fuelling their passion. And as the natural wine movement grew, the group decided to bring this annual gathering out of France to share and spread their love for natural wines with the rest of the world, including Amsterdam, Bruxelles, New York, Montreal and Hong Kong over the years.

And for the first time, the VLVL Festival is travelling to the sunny island of Singapore.

Brought to you by Drunken Farmer, this three-day event will host 19 winemakers and is set to excite wine enthusiasts from Singapore and around the region.
