About IWFS
IWFS is a not-for-profit gastronomical organisation founded in 1933 by André Simon and A.J.A. Symons. The Society's originally stated mission is "the promotion of a broad knowledge and understanding of both wine and food, the enhancement of their appreciation, and the nurturing of camaraderie." With branches in Europe, North America, Africa, Australia and Asia, the Society hosts a series of events throughout the year that include dinners, wine tastings and food appreciation courses. The Americas zone alone has over 70 branches with more than 3,000 members.
