The Oaks Cellars at Marina Bay Sands is a wine merchant's boutique on basement level B1-51 at 10 Bayfront Avenue. The catalogue runs from red, white, rosé and sparkling wine through champagne, port, sherry, sake and hard liquor, and continues past the bottle into wine accessories, wine fridges, home gifts and hampers. The wine list leans deep: Bordeaux classed growths, leading Burgundy domaines, Italian icons and cult New World producers share the shelves with everyday drinking bottles and curated wine assortments. The same range is shoppable online at oaks.com.sg with new arrivals and a favourites list, and general enquiries are answered Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm.
Tucked into basement level B1-51 at 10 Bayfront Avenue, The Oaks Cellars' Marina Bay Sands boutique is a proper wine merchant's shop set inside one of Singapore's busiest destinations. It is a city outpost of a merchant whose trade is the cellar, and the store's identity follows suit: shelves organised by category rather than by promotion, with a catalogue that stretches from weeknight table wines to first growths and cult Burgundy.
The range is genuinely broad. Red, white, rosé and sparkling wine sit alongside port and sherry, a dedicated champagne category, Japanese sake and hard liquor — and the shelves continue past the bottle into wine accessories, wine fridges, home and gift pieces and ready-made hampers. That breadth makes the boutique useful at both ends of the calendar: a bottle for tonight, a champagne for a toast, and a cellar-worthy Bordeaux for the cupboard.
The wine catalogue runs to hundreds of named producers across France, Italy, Spain, Germany, Portugal, Australia, New Zealand and the Americas — a deep span for a single shop floor, and the clearest signal of what this merchant is about.
What distinguishes the shop is how far down the wine list goes. The producer directory behind the catalogue reads like an auction listing: Bordeaux classed growths including Lafite Rothschild, Margaux, Latour, Haut Brion, Mouton Rothschild, Cheval Blanc and Petrus; Burgundy domaines such as Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, Leroy, Dujac, Armand Rousseau and Georges Roumier; and Italian names like Antinori, Gaja, Giacomo Conterno, Bruno Giacosa and Biondi-Santi.
The New World is equally well covered, with Penfolds, Henschke, Cloudy Bay, Caymus, Opus One, Screaming Eagle and Harlan Estate among the houses stocked, alongside German Riesling specialists Joh. Jos. Prüm, Egon Müller and Keller, and Rhône reference points Jean-Louis Chave and Château de Beaucastel. Fortified wine gets its own corner too, with Port from Dow's, Graham, Fonseca and Quinta do Noval plus a dedicated Sherry category.
Collectors will read those names one way; everyone else can read them another. The same shelves carry approachable everyday bottles, and the Wine Assortment category — curated mixed cases — is an easy way in for drinkers still finding their footing. Styles span the spectrum, so a first serious bottle and a milestone one can come from the same shop.
Champagne occupies its own section next to the sparkling wines, and beyond the grape there is sake for the Japanese table and a hard liquor shelf for the home bar. Because the catalogue is organised by type — red, white, sparkling, port, sherry and so on — browsing stays straightforward even if you walk in without a specific bottle in mind.
The boutique doubles as a practical stop for gear and gifting. Wine accessories cover serving and storage, wine fridges handle proper home cellaring, and the Home & Gifts and Hampers categories turn a bottle run into a finished present — handy around the festive season and for corporate gifting alike.
A visit to the MBS shop works on its own, but the merchant also runs a full online store at oaks.com.sg, where the catalogue is browsable in English or Chinese with SGD pricing. New Arrivals are refreshed as new wine, champagne, sake and spirits land, and registered accounts can maintain a favourites list to track bottles worth a second look — a handy way to plan an in-store visit.
For anything specific — a stock check, a hamper, an elusive vintage — general enquiries are handled Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm, on (+65) 6224 2611.
Whether you are after a midweek bottle, a celebration champagne or a wine you have hunted for years, this basement cellar brings a remarkably deep shelf to Marina Bay Sands.
