About Atelier du Vin
The Atelier du Vin, wine salon, is a private educational and social club for fine/rare wine enthusiasts. The club’s small size (50 members per year) allows for the wine club to operate as a "salon" in the historical sense. Reminiscent of the past, our wine salon has the intention of creating a unique gathering place for interesting people held by an inspiring host. Cincinnati private wine club
The salon was an Italian invention of the 16th century, which flourished in France throughout the 17th and 18th centuries. During the gatherings, salon members amuse one another and increase their knowledge through conversation and, in our case, the appreciation of fine wine. Cincinnati private wine salon
Each meeting will include a brief, yet exceptional, presentation on the decadent wine and food pairings. This will complement the overall salon experience which encourages fellow members to share their knowledge and engage in interesting conversation.
