WOWS 2026 is taking place from 16-17 October under the theme of The Vault.

Changi Airport Group’s World of Wines & Spirits (WOWS) is returning for its fifth edition from 16-17 October under the theme of The Vault.

Organised in partnership with Lotte Duty Free, this year’s event is inspired by the idea of a private repository and will showcase a curated collection of more than 60 exceptional wines and spirits from over 30 brands.

WOWS 2026 is taking place at JW Marriott Hotel Singapore South Beach and will feature sought-after expressions including The Dalmore Cask Curation Series: The Madeira Cask Edition, Fettercairn The Vanguard Series Rare – 30 Years Old, The Macallan Red Collection and Tales of The Macallan Volume II.

The venue will be transformed into a multi-dimensional showcase across five distinct zones. This is being complemented by an opening performance as well as a caviar canapé experience paired with cognac and whisky tastings, curated by Kaluga Queen.

The wider collection will be available to the public through the WOWS online platform – wows.changiairport.com.

“World of Wines & Spirits has grown into Changi Airport’s flagship platform for premium wines and spirits,” said Hung Jean, Managing Director of Airside Concessions, Changi Airport Group (CAG).

“Together with Lotte Duty Free and our brand partners, we are bringing collectors and enthusiasts closer to exceptional bottles through carefully curated experiences that celebrate their craftsmanship, heritage and stories.

“This year’s collection is a good representation of our goal to make Changi Airport a leading destination for discovering some of the world’s most distinctive and sought-after wines and spirits.”

Ahead of the signature event, WOWS masterclasses presented by Fettercairn and The Macallan, will offer invited guests deeper insights into selected expressions.

Private preview sessions will also give invited guests an advanced look at highlights from the WOWS 2026 collection.
