What is a Bon Vivant?

A Bon Vivant is a person who enjoys the finer things in life, someone who cultivates refined tastes and seeks out once-in-a-lifetime gastronomic experiences.

Whether you’re single or partnered – young, or young at heart – you enjoy learning about and experiencing delectable foods and drinks from around the world.

Still not convinced? These articles might just change your mind:

Our monthly events are planned at the start of the year. And once you are a member, you can help vote on the date you would like to attend and events can be planned around your schedule, plus you can even set up your own events (from eating out to days out), and invite others to join you.

It’s where people with great taste meet.

It’s the perfect way to start the new year, new decade, with new friends and foodie adventures!
