Northern Illinois Branch Thank you very much for your interest in the Northern Illinois Branch of the International Wine and Food Society (IWFS) The Northern Illinois Branch consists of singles and couples who enjoy each other’s company while partaking in new dining experiences. Membership is open to all. The group is not overly technical on wine creation and nuances, but instead concentrates on the “art of good living”, where wine and food and friendship come together to make for an enjoyable gathering. One of the primary benefits of
membership in Northern Illinois Branch is our wine cellar. The branch keeps a
cellar of approximately 430 bottles with a value of over $16,500. The wines from
the cellar are used in each event, allowing members to enjoy uncommon and Our season always begins in September with a casual season opening dinner held on a Sunday afternoon. The year then consists of 2 black tie dinners, 2 business attire dinners, a recipe sharing party where the members prepare the dishes, and a wine tasting. We sometimes also hold a picnic during the summer months. You are welcome to join us at a couple of events as a guest while you consider joining the branch. I think this is the best way for you to determine if our Society is right for you. Let me give you some information on the cost of the various events. The recipe party and picnic is typically $20-$25 for wine, with attendees each bringing a dish to share. The casual events like the season opener and the wine tasting are approximately $65. The business attire dinners cost approximately $125. Lastly, the black tie formal events cost approximately $150. Please take a look at our website at for the dates of upcoming events. We hope to see you soon! |
