Loving wine is a passion that is quickly spreading, faster than a bush fire in the arid land of the Aussie down under. To share wine is one of the greatest joys in life, right next to the joy of cooking, and sharing the spoils while dining with friends and family. This casual group will be driven by tasting wine, food pairings, enjoying entertaining banter, and listening to guest speakers as they bestow upon us the essence of the wine world as they know it. All are welcome. Couples, single …

This group was created for the 20s-30s Northern Va woman who is new in town(or has been here for awhile) and wants to make new friends. While there are some great groups out there, I've noticed that they either grew quite large and the meetups filled up quickly or some of the meetups were occurring less and less. This group enjoys happy hours, brunches, dinners, movies, outdoor activities, trips, etc. We have a calendar full of upcoming events, so find one that interests you and join in :) Thank …

This group is for people who would rather entertain in their own home than go out to a restaurant for fun.  If you don't have the room for entertaining then that's ok but you need to be willing to contribute food and drink on a regular basis when other members hold events in their homes.  The idea is for someone to host a get together (dinner party, wine tasting, movie night, barbecue, whatever) and determine a "theme". The host(ess) generally  provides the main dish and the others bring theme o …

This is a group for those who want to explore all forms of food the DC area has to offer (restaurants, specialty stores, etc.), cook and bake for others, and meet new people in their 20s and early 30s who want to do the same. We c …

Slow Food is a non-profit, eco-gastronomic member-supported organization that was founded in 1989 to counteract fast food and fast life, the disappearance of local food traditions and people’s dwindling interest in the food they eat, where it comes from, how it tastes and how our food choices affect the rest of the world. To do that, Slow Food brings together pleasure and responsibility, and makes them inseparable.

This group was started to share happy hours, fun classes and events. If you enjoy tasting and learning about new foods and wine this group is for you. Lets eat!

As I am just beginning the group (somewhat surprised one did not already exist), suggestions are encoura …

Also, meetups that are posted more than 2 weeks out will be waiting list only. I'll manually o …
