The International Slow Food movement is a non-profit organization comprised of more than 70,000 members worldwide. We savor epicurean delights, enjoy fine food and wine tasting events, culinary classes and regional gourmet specialties. Our members support local organic farmers, artisan producers and vintners. What could be more fun than sharing a passion for good food and wine with other people who feel the same way?

The Silicon Valley Convivium was formed on 27 October 1997 after its founder was introduced to Slow Food during lunch with the owner of Sassicaia Winery in Bolgheri, Italy. The diverse group consists of gourmands of all ages and backgrounds, including leading restaurant owners, vintners, and food merchants. Our Convivium, one of the first five created in the U.S., organizes meals at restaurants, social events, tastings, cooking courses, winery tours, and lectures.
