Friendship and adventures around food and wine
Welcome to IWFS Zurich Branch. We are an active branch of Swiss and International members based in and around Zürich. We organise approximately 6 events each year, ranging from simple lunches to gastronomic weekends.
In the past, we have enjoyed dinners at both Michelin-starred and interesting local restaurants, explored cuisines and wines from other countries and participated in wine and food learning activities.
We have a reputation for our short-break events where our members and members of other IWFS branches have the opportunity to strengthen their friendship, whilst exploring the wine and food of different regions of Switzerland and nearby countries.
Our Events

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.
