Whether cruising for a bottle of vintage champagne or a selection of Kaluga Queen caviar, this one-of-a-kind drive-thru delivers luxury straight to your car window.

A Celebration of Fizz and Elegance

General Manager Andreas Kraemer shares the vision behind the innovative Champagne Express Lane: “True luxury can come in any form, and at InterContinental Singapore, we are committed to creating unforgettable moments for our guests. The Champagne Express Lane embodies the elegance and excitement that define our hotel. It’s a playful twist on luxury, offering a drive-thru experience like no other.”

Kraemer continues, “We’ve curated the largest selection of champagnes in Singapore, making our hotel the ultimate destination for champagne lovers. The Champagne Express Lane offers a new way for guests to enjoy these exceptional bottles in an unprecedented and convenient manner. We’re here to make every day a special celebration.”

Visitors can experience the Champagne Express Lane at the hotel’s grand driveway from October to December. The lane will offer a carefully curated selection of premium champagnes and gourmet bites, including world-class Adrien Renoir ‘Les Annees’ Solera Grand Cru and 2012 JL Vergnon ‘MSNL’ Blanc de Blancs, priced from SGD$327. Kaluga Queen Caviar is also available for SGD$32 per serving for those with a taste for the finest.

The Most Exclusive Champagnes, Handpicked for You

InterContinental Singapore’s champagne collection is a carefully selected assortment that celebrates the finest bubbles from across the globe. For connoisseurs, the Champagne Express Lane presents an opportunity to purchase some of the world’s most coveted vintages, including:

Dom Pérignon “P2” Magnum (SGD $3,200): A rare and prestigious vintage revered for its complexity and depth.
Charles Heidsieck: Known for its refinement and served in Singapore Airlines’ Business Class, Charles Heidsieck is a symbol of sophistication.
Dhondt Grellet: Harvested from 40-year-old vineyards in Côte des Blanc, this Grand Cru champagne offers a rich and complex flavour.
Jérôme Blin: With a family heritage in Champagne dating back to the 17th century, Jérôme Blin produces biodynamic, low-dosage champagne from his six-hectare estate.
Frédéric Savart: Hailing from Montagne de Reims, Savart is renowned for his meticulous winemaking that elevates champagne to an art form.
Chartogne-Taillet: Crafted by one of the rising stars of Montagne-de-Reims, Chartogne-Taillet’s single-vineyard champagnes are highly sought after by collectors.

Sabrage at The Lobby Lounge: A Dramatic Finale

For those looking to extend their champagne experience beyond the drive-thru, InterContinental Singapore offers a weekly showcase of sabrage—the ceremonial art of opening a champagne bottle with a sabre. Every Thursday evening, visitors can witness the hotel’s resident Maître-Sabreur demonstrate this captivating tradition at The Lobby Lounge, adding a dramatic flourish to their evening of indulgence.

As an official Caveau by The Confrérie du Sabre d’Or, InterContinental Singapore is the only hotel in Singapore that hosts these exclusive events. These events bring history, tradition, and spectacle together to celebrate champagne.

Elevating Singapore’s Luxury Wine Scene

Singapore has rapidly become a hub for fine wine and champagne, with high-end wine clubs and innovative retail spaces catering to enthusiasts. Kraemer acknowledges this growing trend: “Singapore is a key market for luxury wines and champagne. With members-only wine clubs like Tenuta by Park90 and Vivino’s first-ever physical store opening at Raffles City, Singapore has firmly established itself as a premier destination for lovers of fine wines.”

The Champagne Express Lane is set to strengthen Singapore’s reputation as a world-class destination for luxury wine experiences. InterContinental Singapore is leading in redefining luxury travel and dining with its unparalleled selection of champagnes and a genuinely novel drive-thru concept.
