Lovers of good food, good wine and good company
Welcome to Hereford & Monmouthshire (H&M) branch where we invite lovers of good food, good wine and good company to join us for fine wining and dining experiences in our Border Counties.
Created 25 years ago, H&M presents a varied programme of around a dozen events in the Wales - England border counties, each year, for members and guests to experience a range of new and established restaurants. Venues range from gastro-pubs to Michelin-starred restaurants, and there are tutored wine tastings and visits to specialist food producers.
We enjoy arranging events at members homes where the hosts can demonstrate their culinary skills. We regularly offer opportunities to attend events not always easily accessible for individuals, a recent example - "A Day at the Races" held in a fully catered private box. The highlight each year is our formal Christmas Dinner. Forthcoming events are announced at least four weeks ahead.

A Journey Through the Rhone Valley
Wed 17 Jun 2026
Join us for a tasting of Rhone valley wines, the second largest AOP region in France.
We’ll be comparing and contrasting wines of different styles and quality levels from across the region. Following a glass of sparkling wine we’ll begin with a pair of white wines, one from the Northern Rhone and one from Southern Rhone. We’ll then move on to three reds from the Northern Rhone followed by three reds from the Southern Rhone. We’ll finish with a vin doux naturel, a muscat de Beaumes de Venise.
