Welcome to the New York Chapter!
The American Institute of Wine Food is a non-profit organization founded by Julia Child, Robert Mondavi, Richard Graff and others in 1981 to advance the understanding, appreciation and quality of what we eat and drink.
The New York Chapter is one of many across the United States. Along with our sister chapters and the national organization, we promote an exchange of ideas that benefit both professionals and dedicated enthusiasts through publications and programs.
Membership is open to all. It is a wonderful way to meet knowledgeable people in the industry and simply a great way to meet others with common interests. We encourage you to attend one or two of our events as a guest.
This year will be an exciting time for us here in New York City as we look to grow membership and strengthen our stellar programs and events like Days of Taste, Professional Series and Behind the Scenes. We have a very ambitious plan to grow the chapter by 30% and continue to refine the programming to bring you the high-quality programs and industry insider events that you love. To achieve this goal, we are reaching out to our members to become involved in one of the four committees in place for the New York chapter. If you would like to get involved, please send your contact information and the committee you would like to serve on to the AIWF New York office at aiwf@beardallis.com.
Please see the national organization's web page for more details on the AIWF's mission, national events, and links to our sister chapters.
Come see us again!
