The International Wine & Food Society offers much more than a dining and tasting experience. We provide opportunities to meet and make friends with other like-minded people locally and around the world, sharing experiences along the way. In the spirit of our founders, we seek to enhance enjoyment of fine food and wine. Michael Broadbent described the IWFS as the Society For All Seasons.

The IWFS has more than 80 branches and 4,200 members in the Americas. We are the world’s oldest and largest wine & food society. Our mission includes promoting wine & food enjoyment, excellence and education.

A wealth of events, camaraderie and knowledge are shared locally, regionally, nationally and internationally. Traditional and innovative events will captivate and inspire you. The Society is a not-for-profit organization, and it reflects the common bonds of its membership.

Activities throughout the Americas are coordinated by the Board of Governors of the Americas (BGA). Branches and the BGA are all led by member volunteers, assuring responsiveness to their membership and the Society’s mission. Membership opportunities in this unique gastronomic organization are available in branches in many cities
