01. Matsusaka Beef Fair

1-11 Sep 2016

Officials from the region are introducing their top-grade beef  via a fortnight-long affair at Wisma Atria's Japan Food Town, where air-flown A4 grade Matsusaka beef will be served up at 10 participating restaurants. Go straight for the pricier options - why stinge on a one-off tasting?

03. Savour Wines Festival

9-11 Sep 2016

The inaugural edition of this 3-day festival showcases over 400 labels of specially curated wines from around the world - and the very reasonably-priced entrance passes entitle each holder to taste at least 10.

The regular gourmet festivals have seen so much success that it's safe to expect a healthy crowd - some sessions are already sold out!

Head on over to the Savour Wines website and clinch yours before they're gone.

05. “Blood of Jove” Wine Dinner at Osteria Mozza

15 Sept 2016, 7pm

Macabre-sounding to the uninitiated, but you already knew Sangiovese was named for Sanguis Jovis - or Latin for blood of Jove, the Roman king of gods. Osteria Mozza at Marina Bay Sands pays tribute to the increasingly popular ruby-coloured drink with a 5-course paired dinner. Expect: "Iberico Pork Chop with fennel, onion and Sambuca, Maltagliati with duck ragu as well as Wagyu Beef Tagliata with rucola and parmigiano reggiano.

06: Cape Mentelle Wine Dinner at db Bistro & Oyster Bar

27 Sept, 2016, 7.30pm

Enjoy the wines of Cape Mentalle – a pioneer winery of the Margaret River wine region in West Australia - with a 5-course menu prepared by executive chef Jonathan Kinsella (who, by the way, snagged the G Restaurant Award of Excellence for the restaurant again).

The winery has played a leading role in defining the regional style of Cabernet and is widely recognized for blending Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon to create outstanding wines. Dish highlights include grilled hamachi with grapefruit, avocado, smoked tomato vinaigrette, seared foie gras with roasted plums, shallots, red wine sauce and Harrisa spiced saddle of lamb.
