Membership format
Full membership
For those who wish to take a regular part in the club’s in-person life, deepen their knowledge and join club initiatives and journeys.
Who it is for
For those who value the living rhythm of the club
Full membership is intended for aficionados in Moscow and the Moscow Region who want not merely to follow club life, but to take a regular part in it.
It is a format built around personal meetings, unhurried conversation and a continuing exchange of experience. The internal community helps members connect with fellow aficionados and experts, while the club programme creates opportunities for shared projects and new journeys.
