L'Ordre Mondial des Gourmets Dégustateurs
L'Ordre Mondial des Gourmets Dégustateurs is a specialized group within the Chaîne des Rôtisseurs focused on wine, beer, and spirits appreciation. While the parent organization celebrates culinary achievements, this division emphasizes beverages and their cultural significance.
Any member in good standing of the Chaîne des Rôtisseurs is welcome to apply for membership. Our membership comprises enthusiasts ranging from industry professionals to casual learners with a passion for beverages.
Membership benefits include educational events designed to explore beverages alongside complementary foods. Programming covers diverse topics: traditional European wines, contemporary world vintages, beer varieties, and spirits from around the globe. Events emphasize learning opportunities about these complex beverage categories.
The organization was established in Paris in 1963 and has remained integral to the parent organization since its inception. Activities occur throughout the year in smaller, informal settings compared to main Chaîne dinners. These gatherings suit members seeking deeper beverage knowledge and experiences.
Our Vice Echanson, Linda Robinson, extends an invitation to all members to participate and celebrate with the group.
