A few words about us
Let us introduce ourselves
The purpose of the Frankston Wine & Food Society (FW&FS) is to provide a forum for Melbourne wine and food lovers to come together four times each year with Lunches reflecting flavours of the four Seasons. These are supplemented by other bonus events for members.
The FW&FS was established in 2013 under the auspices of Proudly Frankston Campaign Inc., and a group including then President Alan Wickes OAM, and taken forward by Co-founders Kevin Johnson, Robert Thurley and Max Butler, after being mentored by the acclaimed Melbourne Cricket Club Long Room Wine & Food Society. After 40+ events, the Society has gained a reputation for the ultimate dining experience.
Diversityin wine
Local, National, Global.
To-date, guest winemakers have been invited not only from the Mornington Peninsula, but other Regions throughout Australia, thus continuing the theme of diversity in wine experiences for members. The FW&FS is a wine society dedicated to providing a National and Global view of the wine world.
Such unique taste experiences have been made possible by each guest chef carefully creating a seasonal menu matched to pre selected wines. The Society is grateful for the invaluable support from its winery and restaurant partners. The FW&FS has added relevant and varied events such as wine appreciation occasions and a ‘Member’s Old Bottle’ Evening.
