NAAWS: A thriving chapter of the North American Wine Society.
The American Wine Society (AWS) is the largest consumer-based wine education organization in North America. Its objective is to share knowledge about winemaking and tasting. With a membership of more than 8,000 people in approximately 180 local chapters — AWS members meet to appreciate and celebrate wine and to talk about the history, culture, and traditions involved in making and tasting wine.
The North Alabama American Wine Society Chapter ---
Meets monthly for tastings and other chapter-sponsored events at various locations in the greater Huntsville/Madison area.
Is Nationally Recognized as a top contributing Chapter to the National AWS Education Scholarship Fund.
Has several AWS Certified Wine Judges (and a few in training) on its active roster. AWS offers an opportunity for its members to participate in a three-year program to become an AWS Certified Wine Judge.

2025 Tasting Schedule
You must be an active AWS Member to register for a tasting. If you join AWS, please be sure to select "North Alabama" as one of your chapter selections. Tasting Schedule Current as of January 21, 2025.
The AWS Board strives to open registration for upcoming tastings 21 days prior to the event via our regular newsletter.
