ABOUT US
Our Story
Cheese is our passion. The Cheese Artisans was born as a response to our desire to share our passion, and bring variety, depth and quality to the cheese scene in Singapore. We source our cheeses directly from traditional European farms that continue to defy mass production, developing high quality cheeses using traditional methods.
Since 2012, we have established ourselves as the go-to cheese supplier to premium hotels and restaurants. But with a growing fan base, we opened the doors to our first concept space in Bukit Timah in November 2016. It combines retail and dining, and is also a venue for cheese lovers in Singapore to come learn, sample and enjoy our unique artisanal cheeses
Canaan Winery
Canaan Winery’s mission is to craft premium-quality Chinese wine. Through passion, expertise, and skill, the winery showcases the individuality of its terroir by producing exceptional and distinctive wines.
An international team of experts in viticulture and enology—including winemakers, soil specialists, nursery specialists, and horticulturalists—guided the search for an ideal location for premium Chinese wine production. After a two-year evaluation of factors such as soil type, altitude, average annual precipitation, and meteorological data, Huailai County in Hebei Province was identified as the optimal site.
Canaan Winery’s estate vineyards are located on both the northern and southern sides of the Guanting Reservoir and comprise three parcels spanning Huailai County, with elevations ranging from 498 to 1,050 meters. This varied topography enables the cultivation of a diverse selection of grape varieties, supported by differences in soil composition, slope orientation, and microclimates across elevations.
After a decade-long pursuit of excellence, Canaan Winery aims to set the benchmark for Chinese fine wine. Committed to producing pure, elegant, and deeply expressive wines that reflect the distinctive character of the local terroir, the winery aspires to present the finest Chinese wines to both connoisseurs and casual enthusiasts.
Domaine Franco-Chinois
Domaine Franco-Chinois, originally conceived as a joint agricultural project between China and France, was first established as the Sino-French Cooperation Demonstration Vineyard in 2000. The estate officially adopted its present name, Domaine Franco-Chinois, in 2005.
Covering an area of 32.6 hectares, Domaine Franco-Chinois encompasses a vinification cellar, office building, and a wine-tasting area for guests. The cellar’s design and equipment—including automatic sulfur dioxide dispensers, floating lid wine tanks, as well as small fermentation tanks, and automatic cap pressing machines for individual processing of uncommon grape varieties—are all provided by France.
The architectural design of the Domaine Franco-Chinois complex incorporates the stately gray of the Great Wall and the red hues of the Forbidden City. The modern design concept achieves a seamless fusion of classical and contemporary elements as well as Eastern and Western cultures.

Our Space
Great experiences engage all your senses. Whether you are simply shopping, having a coffee, enjoying a simple cheese plate or participating in a full dining experience, we’ve designed our space to deliver on the promise of a memorable time.
Inspired by fromageries in the iconic cities and country towns of Europe, we wanted to bring home a similar experience – one that engages our diners and customers in a way that is relevant and contemporary, yet bears all the hallmarks of a traditional fromagerie. We are proud to say that the store has attracted a lot of attention from consumers and the media including the highly rated British design and lifestyle magazine Monocle.
Ours is a space that is modern, state-of-the-art and housing traditional, artisanal products to be enjoyed in an intimate setting. Affinage takes place on site, in our purpose built ripening rooms. A first in Singapore, it enables us to offer our customers only cheeses that have reached optimal maturity, as well as create unique flavors not available elsewhere.
