YWCA Darien/Norwalk

Gourmet Club Registration
2026-07-15 - 2026-09-09
The Gourmet Club connects members through shared meals — small groups of 8–10 meet five times a season for home-cooked dinners and conversation. A brief questionnaire during registration helps match members thoughtfully — it’s our secret to creating a welcoming, well-matched experience.
Each member takes a turn hosting a dinner at their home, using YW-provided menus and recipes the group shares in preparing the meal together.
Prefer to dine out? Your group can choose to meet at a restaurant instead.
