The first meeting in 1936, unanimously agreed to form the “Wine and Food Society of Victoria” and to seek affiliation with the London organisation, which thanks to efforts of the renowned Andre Simon, already had four branches in the USA and two more branches in England.
From that time, a rich tradition was born and the Society has grown to over 60 members today. The Society is deeply rooted in its heritage and but it has evolved over the years to embrace new imperatives – women are encouraged as members, cosmopolitan food styles from around the world are explored and whilst the emphasis is on French wines, new and old world wines are enjoyed with like minded people. The purpose of the Society is still as fresh and relevant today as it was when it first took shape seventy-five years ago..
