The AIWF educational mission is vibrant and strong: our chapters offer more than 300 programs each year, reaching out to thousands of members and non-members. Our passion for food and wine is incorporated into thought-provoking seminars, unique educational opportunities and specialized events, all designed to explore and celebrate the many aspects of wine and food.

Days of Taste® is our signature program, reaching thousands of fourth and fifth grade students each year. The hands-on experience between local chefs and children creates a foundation of knowledge to appreciate fresh food, local ingredients, and how they weave their way through daily life, from farm to table.

Other innovative and exciting programs include:

• Symposiums on taste and a healthy diet
• Regional or varietal-specific wine tastings
• Behind the scenes tour of a local, organic farm
• Ethnic pantry-tasting series
• Preparation and presentation of food
• Understanding our eating habits
• Proper table etiquette
• Wine tastings in private cellars
• And many more!
