The CMAA International Wine Society was founded in 1988 by a small group of club managers to meet a growing need among CMAA members – to learn more about wine and appreciate it as a true gift of nature. Through the Wine Society, members join together to enjoy and appreciate the use of wine, as well as learn about the role wine plays in club culture. Annual events include the Annual Wine and Food Workshop as well as the Conference-centered events – the Annual Business Meeting and Education Session, the Silent and Live Wine Auctions to benefit The Club Foundation and the Annual Wine Dinner.
The mission statement of the organization is to promote the knowledge and appreciation of wine by those in the club industry through education and fellowship, providing resources and funding for continuing wine education. The Wine Society is governed by the Board of Managers and assisted by official Representatives in each CMAA chapter.
