The American Institute of Wine & Food (AIWF) was established in 1981 by the late Julia Child, the Late Robert Mondavi, the late Richard Graff and others to provide a forum for the study and enjoyment of gastronomy. The AIWF is one of the few national organizations with the unique combination of dedicated wine and food enthusiasts and professionals. Wine and food enthusiasts get to meet and learn from renowned chefs, winemakers, authors, culinary historians, and food producers, while industry professionals have the opportunity to know and understand their core consumers.
Winemaker dinners, exclusive wine tastings, gala auctions, cookbook signings, artisan food gatherings, picnics, garden tours, culinary cruises, golf tournaments, chocolate tastings, salmon fishing, BBQs - everything from black tie and gala dinners to cowboy boots and ribs - AIWF has something for everyone! And, we do more than just have fun; our events have an educational element as well, so you can learn, taste and socialize all at the same time. Culinary researchers and food enthusiasts are welcome to visit the University of California, San Diego’s AIWF Collection that includes more than 3,400 volumes and is housed in the Mandeville Special Collections Library and the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, Harvard University - Schlesinger Library Culinary Collection that includes close to 15,000 titles. Both collections include works by Julia Child, M.F.K. Fisher, Eleanor Lowenstein and Andre Simon.
With 27 chapters in major cities across the United States and over 4,000 members, you will find people who love good food and great wine in your local chapter area or when you are traveling for business or pleasure.
We would also like to recognize The Julia Child Foundation for Gastronomy and the Culinary Arts, which has been a generous contributor of grant funding to the American Institute of Wine & Food.. Julia Child brought her uplifting approach to life directly into the kitchen of millions of people. She made food preparation and the entire dining experience fun and approachable, while at the same time encouraging excellence. The Julia Child Foundation seeks to further Julia’s life-long love of learning, her far-reaching impact as a teacher and mentor, and her passion for gastronomy and the culinary arts. The Foundation supports her commitment to educate and encourage others to live well through the joys of cooking and eating well.
Bon Appetit!
