The Wine Society Dining Club was founded in 1950 by members of The Wine Society and has enjoyed a rich tradition of fine wine and convivial dining for over 75 years.
Following a vote of members at the 2026 Annual General Meeting, the Club became an independent organisation and adopted its new name, The Fine Wine Dining Club. This marks an exciting new chapter, allowing the Club to build on its heritage while exploring new opportunities, partnerships and sources of exceptional wines for its members.
We couldn't have put it better than the late Michael Broadbent MW.
"Drinking good wine with good food in good company is one of life's most civilised pleasures."
Our collection of fine wines is our primary asset. The Club buys fine wines during opening and “en primeur” offers. We then cellar these wines until they are ready to drink. This can often be many years, and wines frequently appreciate in value during this time.
Members benefit from this process of buying wine on release with a much later drinking window. Event costs can be considerably less than the current market value of the wines offered. Dinner and tasting fees allow us to purchase replacement wines today for events in the years ahead.
