The Wine & Food Society of New York is the oldest continuously operating gastronomic society in the United States. Founded in 1934, we are the New York Chapter of the International Wine & Food Society (IWFS), an organization with approximately 6,000 members of 138 branches located in 33 countries.
As a member of the Society, you will enjoy exclusive access to a curated calendar of extraordinary events at venues available to us through our longstanding relationships in the food and wine industries.
Become a member today and receive unparalleled entry to highly acclaimed restaurants and private clubs where we host our events. Benefit from our relationships with renowned winemakers, distributors, and retailers who give us unique access to events hosted by noted winemakers and chateau/winery owners.
A very significant benefit of membership is access to our wine cellar. Containing several decades of vintages, the cellar is expertly managed by a highly knowledgeable wine committee. Each season, we select wines that are ready to drink for special events and we replenish inventory with new purchases every year.
Membership in The Wine & Food Society of New York is by invitation only. To be contacted regarding a membership inquiry please fill out the form to the right or email us at rose@wfsny.org. We look forward to sharing the adventure!
Prospective members must attend at least one event as a guest and be proposed and sponsored by current members.
Initiation and cellar fees as well as any funds received from events in excess of our operating costs are deployed to both replenish and build the Society’s cellar, which is comprised of over 1,100 carefully selected and curated wines.
When mature, these wines will be enjoyed by our members in exciting and exclusive venues.
The oldest United States chapter of the International Wine & Food Society (IW&FS).
