We are the first and only Wineclub at Technical University of Munich (TUM) and Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (LMU). We strive to teach our members about wine, winetasting and winemaking.
To reach our goal, we engage in partnerships with wineries and sommeliers all across the world.

  1. Apply through the questionnaire on our website. Make sure to show your motivation. Applications are open once per semester.
  2. All applications are reviewed internally.
  3. Selected applicants will be invited to a personal interview.
  4. All new members are welcomed to the club on the onboarding day.

No, you do not. You should only be a student enrolled in Munich. We do make exceptions on an individual basis though, so feel free to contact us.

As we have expenses to cover, we ask all club members to pay a fee of 20€ per semester. This might change in the future.

During the exam free time of the semester, we have wine tastings around every two weeks. We also organize other events together and even have a big field trip once per semester.

Active participation in our wine club's events and project teams is the most important perk for new members.
We're a passionate community of wine enthusiasts and we are eager to learn and grow together.

The club is organized into four departments: partnerships, interior, finance & law and marketing. The heads of these departments are selected by the club's members and form the board.

To be honest, it really depends, as a lot of the work is project based. You should, however, be prepared to personally attend our meetings, at least every two weeks.
On top of that, be able to set aside at least 2 hours for the club per week.

Absolutely not! It is the mission of the club to teach our members about wine. All you should bring is a willingness to learn, be open to the community and have a passion for wine.

If you are interested in partnering with us, please contact us directly at partnerships@societyofsommeliers.de.
We are more than happy to talk with you!

Applications for our club are accepted at the beginning of each semester. The application period for the summer semester is now open until April 30, 2023.
We encourage anyone with a passion for wine to apply!
