About us
Welcome to the group! There’s something magical about sharing a great meal or a glass of wine with friends, especially when it’s right here in our own community. Our Tacoma Wine & Dine group is all about discovering the hidden gems and local treasures that make our area so special. Whether you’re a lifelong resident or new to town, we’re here to welcome you with open arms and plenty of good vibes.
We’re not just about food and drinks—though we’re certainly passionate about both! Our group is a casual, come-as-you-are space as we gather to enjoy good company and great conversations. We focus on supporting local businesses and uncovering unique spots you might not have discovered on your own. No pressure, no pretense—just good times and memorable adventures.
We’d love for you to join us at our next event! Whether you’re a wine enthusiast, a foodie, or just curious to explore, there’s a place for you here. Each event brings something different, but one thing always stays the same: a welcoming group of locals ready to share the experience.
That said, we have a couple group rules that keep things running smoothly:
1. If you sign up, show up! Our hosts work hard to create amazing experiences for everyone. By showing up, you honor their efforts and contribute to the welcoming, community-driven vibe that makes our group so special. We know life happens, please alert us as soon as possible if you are unable to make an event.
2. Be respectful of others. Whether it’s a casual chat with friends, or toasting with a stranger, kindness and consideration are key. We’re all here to enjoy and create a positive space for everyone.
3. Our Dues are only $15 per year. Pay in person or in the app. This helps cover the cost of Meet Up fees charged to organizers and helps with planning more exclusive events.
Update:
RSVP's...
- Events that require reservations have a 48 hour cancellation policy! That gives people on the waitlist time to be notified and plan to attend. It also helps us provide an accurate count when confirming reservations with a venue. If canceled after the 48 mark, it’s considered a no-show. We understand that life happens! Reach out to the host as soon as possible if you need to cancel your RSVP after the 48 hour mark.
- After 2 no-shows, you’ll be moved to not going for all future events that require reservations. You’ll still be welcome to sign up for events that don’t require reservations.
- What events require reservations? All restaurants! There are also some venues that have limited space & the event will note that there is a "reservation" in place to accommodate us.
- Thank you for understanding. Please feel free to reach out with any questions.
