Scroll on for the highlights – and don’t forget to keep an eye on the events page for everything CWH-related you can look forward to in the weeks to come.
Valle de Guadalupe weekender
Mexico
CWH weekenders have become synonymous with what membership is about: connection, community, and travel. Journeying to Mexico’s premier wine region, our CWH members enjoyed a stay at the Banyan Tree Veya Valle de Guadalupe and embarked on an immersive three-day programme of vineyard dinners, leisurely mornings, and local experiences. Designed to foster connection, the getaway brought our community together against the backdrop of one of North America’s most celebrated culinary destinations.
Wax Tales
Birmingham
CWH members in Birmingham and the UK joined us at award-winning cocktail bar Passing Fancies for Wax Tales – our event series that invites a surprise guest artist to share and discuss 12 records that have shaped their lives, personal journeys, and creative success. The night unfolded around a state-of-the-art sound installation, signature Picantes and an insightful conversation led by singer-songwriter and producer Ragz Originale, who was joined by actor and singer Naomi Scott.
Summer of Soccer: game night
Atlanta
As we wrapped up our Summer of Soccer residency at Bar Incognito, members came together for an afternoon of football, food, drinks, and games. Live matches provided the entertainment, while cards, board games and conversation kept the afternoon going with plenty of fun and connection.
Cafe Calton Member Mixer
Edinburgh
Our CWH members in Edinburgh gathered for dinner at Cafe Calton and enjoyed an evening of great food, meaningful conversation and views of the Scottish capital. Bringing together new and familiar faces, the mixer was an opportunity for members and guests to connect, share stories, and build new relationships within the local CWH community.

Morning match with Oyster Tennis Club
Washington D.C.
Our CWH members in Washington D.C. met on court for a tennis clinic with Oyster Tennis Club, bringing together players of all levels for a morning of training and play. From advanced rallies to beginner fundamentals, the session offered instruction tailored to each player, alongside light refreshments and plenty of time to connect off court.
Lunch by the lake
Zurich
Members embraced the summer season with a long lunch in one of Zurich’s most idyllic lakeside settings: Chez Fritz. An opportunity to forge connections and meet new faces, the afternoon was fuelled by plenty of chilled rosé, good food, and conversation.
