Membership in the Kitchener-Waterloo
Branch
Our
Branch of the International Wine & Food Society operates as a social club
to allow our Members to interact with like-minded people in a convivial
atmosphere over the pleasures of good food and good wine. Membership in the Kitchener-Waterloo
Branch is by invitation and is limited to about 20 to 25 couples. New
member candidates must be sponsored by current Branch Members. We warmly welcome guests (subject
to any space limitations, and with the exception of the annual Christmas
Dinner). To
ensure high standards and quality, our events are limited to a maximum of 35 to
40 participants.
Membership in the Kitchener-Waterloo
Branch also provides membership in the International Society. A Member is
welcome to participate in functions at other branches throughout the
world. International meetings are held at least once a year in different
parts of the world.
Our Branch’s
goals are to:
·
Hold monthly events that are fun!
·
Support the restaurateurs and chefs in our community.
·
Promote
wider knowledge and understanding of the wines and foods of the world.
·
Enhance
our appreciation and discernment of good wines and good food.
·
Encourage
and nurture friendships among individuals who share culinary and oenological
interests.
Our activities consist of dinners, winery visits, weekend getaway
events, wine tastings, and cooking demonstrations. Our objectives are primarily
social, gastronomic, educational, and non-commercial in nature.
