20 years of CWO

September 4, 20251 Minutes

Reflecting on the past two decades, it has been a true privilege to host events for Chief Wine Officer, both in person and online. Since our very first gathering in London in 2005, our mission has always been to bring executive leaders together in a relaxed, engaging environmentone that fosters open discussion, knowledge sharing, and genuine connection. Whether in the elegant surroundings of Michelin-starred restaurants or from the comfort of home via our virtual events, we have strived to deliver unique experiences blending insightful business conversation with world-class wine tasting, led by renowned experts.
