Earlier this year Wok+Wine was featured in Harvard Business Review - explaining the concept as “an experiment in social chemistry” and going on to add “…these days, few take pleasure in social repetition. We prefer to have the world stirred. We like it when “stuff happens,” when an unexpected event or companion breaks through the fired surface of our creme brulee of ceremony and lets something else in. That’s when things get interesting.” Read full article here.

Yes, the food and wine are amazing but it’s not until you’ve been to Wok+Wine that you realize it’s not a food/wine event.  Wok+Wine is first and foremost a ‘people event’.  It’s the world’s most effective serendipity machine – helping you to find the people you didn’t know you were looking for.

To enable us to share the connecting power of Wok+Wine with more amazing people around the world, we’re creating a ‘Global Family of Ambassadors’ to run events locally.  So far we’re set up in New York, Toronto, Sydney and Melbourne and we’re working on London, Amsterdam, Berlin, Miami, Tel Aviv, Vancouver and Colombo in Sri Lanka… which just happens to be the island where the word ‘serendipity‘ originates.  Coincidence?  We don’t think so!  If you’re keen to join the family, connect on facebook and let us know.

Ambitious plans for the new year

by W+W on January 3, 2013

Wok+Wine has connected thousands of open-minded, curious people (people like you?) in 10 countries across the globe and this year we aim to add a few more cities, countries and even continents to that list.  The image above includes a collection of some of our favorite cities as well as several new ones.  Think of this as our 2013 dream list.

If you think we’ve missed a city or two, please let us know.  Our focus for 2013 is on growing our global family of ambassadors who we’ll empower (with equipment, connections and know-how) to begin running monthly local events.  If you want to get involved, please get in touch.

Otherwise, make sure you register for the official invitation and follow us on FB so we can let you know when the next event is in your part of the world.
