ABOUT THE CLUB
Where sociable women
relax and connect
The Convivio Dining Club is an exclusive members' club for independent women who believe the best conversations happen around a beautifully set table.
Members are thoughtfully placed at Convivio Tables—intimate lunches hosted each month at distinctive restaurants in Oxfordshire and the Thames Valley, chosen for exceptional food and welcoming surroundings.
Carefully composed, each table brings together a considered mix of women to create an enjoyable, engaging atmosphere where conversation flows easily.
Convivio — from the Latin for "to feast together" — reflects a shared appreciation for great food, meaningful connection, and the simple joy of a well-spent lunch.
