Skin contact has been part of winemaking for thousands of years, long before stainless steel, cultured yeasts, and cold fermenters shaped the modern idea of wine. Skin on Skins is our way of bringing that history forward. It’s a festival about texture, colour, feel. It’s about seeing grapes not just as fruit, but as a set of choices - how long to macerate, how much tannic grip to allow, how far to let oxygen shape a wine. And more than anything, it’s about showing Singapore how wildly expressive wine becomes the moment you stop stripping it down to a tech sheet.

This is a celebration of the growers who trust their grapes enough to keep the skins in the conversation. It’s the same ethos that defines The Smallest Wine Fair: no pretentiousness, no gatekeeping, just good juice, curious drinkers, and the people who bring the wines in front of you.
