The local Slow Food Bay Area Chapters will also post gatherings here, with the hope of seeing new faces at their events!

Brrr... it's cold out there. Come join like minded foodies for Sunday dinner. Whereas Sunday is often leftovers night, join us for a home cooked meal and make new friends. Comfort food will be the theme as the cold weather leaves us craving heavier dishes and warmer food. The emphasis will be on fresh, locally grown and organic produce, free-range meats and California wines. Think sinful desserts made with Calebaut Chocolate, sweet berries, or Creme Brulee if you're game. If you like cooking wit …

This group started out as a meetup for gals who love wine in San Diego, and now that some of us have moved, we are starting this group here in San Francisco. We quickly discovered that we all have way more in common than just wine. We have expanded to become a group of gals who are primarily in their 20's and 30's, that love to drink vino, take wine trips and tours, enjoy dinner, happy hours, traveling, exploring, laughing, movies, dancing, camping, parties, football games, oh the list goes on! …

This group is for young women with one thing in common: a significant other. While there are some great groups on Meetup for single women, what about the attached ones? Doesn't mean we're boring or want to talk about our partners all the time, but our partners are a significant part of our lives, and we need some woman-to-woman time to talk about whatever we want and get away for a little bit. (With women who understand where you're coming from in terms of relationships) What do we do? Really an …

My group is designed to put likeminded people together, visiting Napa, Sonoma, etc. in a fun manner but someone needs to be the sober skipper. Meet new friend …

We're a group that loves to cook, eat and drink together! I created this group to meet people who love cooking food and sharing it with other people.

We'll meet about once a month at a group member's home. Let me know if you are interested in hosting, organizing or have an idea for a themed potluck.
