Odette’s longtime wine director Vincent Tan is leaving after 10 years to join Park90

Vincent Tan, the wine director of Odette, a three-Michelin-starred restaurant in Singapore, is leaving his position after 10 years to take on a new role as the group wine director at Park90. Park90, a sommelier-led wine programme, has recently relocated from Regent Singapore and Conrad Singapore Orchard to Pan Pacific Orchard in Singapore, operating as an independent brand in partnership with the hotel.

The programme offers over 1,000 labels, including premium selections like Domaine de la Romanee-Conti and allocations of Screaming Eagle, and aims to be the first luxury hotel in Singapore with a fully integrated sommelier-led wine programme.

Tan's appointment to Park90 as the group wine director comes as the programme expands across Southeast Asia, with planned launches in Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok. Tan, who has known Park90's owners for years, did not initially entertain the idea of joining the company, but the opportunity arose after longtime wine director Mason Ng left Odette at the start of 2026.

Tan's departure from Odette, after a decade of shaping the restaurant's wine programme, was not driven by any friction, but rather by the need to complete Odette's renovation and reopening. He has given head chef Julien Royer a shortlist of candidates for his successor, while staying out of the final decision to ensure a clean break.

The wine director at Odette, Tan, will continue to support Royer as the restaurant prepares to reopen. Tan's arrival at Park90 marks a significant change in the wine programme, as he brings a unique perspective to the team, emphasizing the importance of tasting rare wines rather than treating them as trophies. Tan's appointment to Park90's group wine director role, along with the programme's expansion across Southeast Asia, marks a pivotal moment in Singapore's hospitality scene.
