Welcome to The London Branch of
The International Wine & Food Society

The International Wine and Food Society is the world's oldest and most renowned gastronomic society. It was founded in 1933 by André L. Simon CBE, Legion d'Honneur, who was a dedicated and knowledgeable gourmet and a superb connoisseur of fine wines. Its key purpose is the promotion of a greater understanding and pleasure in good food, good wine and good company.

There are more than 7,500 members, from all walks of life, in over 140 branches and 40 countries throughout the world. The society is organised in three Regions; The European and African Region, The Asian Pacific Region and The American Region.

The IWFS is described by The Oxford Companion to Wine as "The oldest and most cosmopolitan of the gastronomic societies for consumers rather than professionals ... Now much imitated."
