The World Gourmet Summit is an annual Food and Beverage summit held in Singapore, where some of the most renowned chefs in Singapore and the World come together to showcase their talent and skills. These chefs display and bring out some of their trademark menus for the public specter. But the event is not only restricted to the culinary arts, the fine and great wines also are looked into; world famous winemakers make their appearance here at this event. The winemakers hail from the different wine making regions of the world, like Australia, Spain, Pomerol, Tuscany, Burgundy and Bordeaux, all of them at one place at one time.
