Our network of 32 branches in Europe and Africa maintains a balanced event programme. Branch Events cover many of these stages in the cycle of production and ultimate enjoyment of food and wine:

Growing, Buying, Preparing, Tasting, Sharing, Celebrating

Our goals are to

visit regional food and, in fortunate countries, wine producers
increase our understanding of quality methods of production
encourage local restaurants through our IWFS Awards
arrange wine tastings and demonstrations of food preparation
provide mentoring and friendship to newcomers
enhance the camaraderie between members

In these pages you will see how our region and branches have applied these principles to their own events.

The EAC, through the activities of a number of its members, supports the William Heptinstall Memorial Fund, a registered charity, which sponsors an annual award to help young chefs further their careers through overseas stages.
