Our Story
Books and Bordeaux™ was founded in 2016 by friends, Brittney, and J. Denelle. What started as a small gathering of friends and has since grown to include over 100+ members. Our goal from the start was to offer more than mere meetings but to create a full experience for our members.
To create an immersive and interactive experience, we incorporated themes from the books into our food and drink choices and began to add special touches, such as themed attire and professional photography. These carefully curated and distinctive elements become hallmarks of our gatherings, allowing members to fully immerse themselves in the nuances and splendor of the books we read.
What began as a creative outlet, Books and Bordeaux has blossomed into a supportive community that provides an escape for many members. Our gatherings offer a chance to socialize, dress up and immerse ourselves in tales of fantasy, adventure, and intrigue.
OUR MISSION
Books & Bordeaux is a member-based modern book club with a mission to create an engaging and sophisticated atmosphere where book enthusiasts can come together to explore and discuss literature while enjoying the nuances of fine wine.
Our aim is to cultivate a community where members are encouraged to expand their literary horizons, share and respect diverse perspectives, and develop a deeper appreciation for both the written word and the world of viticulture. Through our monthly meetings, we are committed to fostering lifelong learning, building lasting friendships, and enhancing the appreciation of the simple pleasures in life – a good book and a great glass of Bordeaux.
