About Us

For over 30 years, the Friends of the Vine Wine Society (FOV)  has been offering a unique blend of enjoyment, education and excellent value in Calgary. Our primary focus is on wines that are readily available in today's market, catering to members who seek selections suitable for immediate consumption as well as those worthy of cellaring.

 

You may be intrigued to know that FOV does not maintain a traditional wine cellar. While this may deviate from the norm in the wine society world, it aligns with our philosophy. We want our members to experience wine in a way that is meaningful to them. By forgoing a wine cellar, we can explore a diverse range of wines from various global regions that excel in early drinkability, offering our members a rich and diverse tasting experience.

Our Board of Directors

Our board of directors is made up of passionate volunteers who work hard to bring a diverse range of events and experiences to our members. We believe in sharing our love of wine with others, and our goal is to help you discover new and exciting flavors that will take your taste buds on a journey.
