It all began in August 2020 with a simple idea: our founder, Alberto, hosted a casual gathering with a few friends in a coffee shop. After a long period of self-isolation due to the pandemic, people longed for social interactions, and the attendees positively welcomed this get-together. From then on, every month, Alberto organised gatherings whereby more and more people joined in.
Our development from a small gathering in a coffee shop to the thriving community that is The Aperitif has been a remarkable journey. What started with a handful of people quickly transformed into a network as attendees began bringing friends, colleagues, and acquaintances. To keep things fresh and exciting, we decided to switch up our venues every month, offering our attendees diverse settings and atmospheres.
As our numbers grew, we recognised the importance of expanding our horizons. We aimed to attract professionals from various industries, limiting attendees within the same field to foster diverse interactions and enrich networking opportunities. Last year, we decided to launch a new concept to elevate the value of our gatherings further, whereby we introduced occasional guest speakers who share their insights and knowledge.

September Aperitif [ 25.09.25 | 7 PM ]
We take a break from our Aperitif in August, knowing that many of you spend this time exactly where you should be — with family, loved ones and a slower pace that matters just as much as professional success.
September marks the return of fresh ideas, renewed energy and that familiar momentum in business. It’s also the birthday month of our founder (and perhaps yours too?), making it a perfect reason to reconnect and celebrate together.
Join us for our September Aperitif: an evening of conversation, connection and new perspectives as we ease into the final stretch of the year. We look forward to seeing you there.
Aperitif entry fee for non-members - €55 ex VAT. Refund policy applies*.
Non-members are allowed to attend only four times per year.
We have a few events planned for the upcoming months. Explore our initiatives below and register to secure your spot.

Aperitif - October 30th
Autumn sharpens the senses: the pace picks up, inboxes fill and bold ideas take shape. October carries a mood all of its own: crisp days, thoughtful energy and a quiet nod to things that matter.
Before the year accelerates even more, take a moment to reconnect, spark new conversations and share an evening of smart exchanges and unexpected encounters. Whether you are in the mood for business or just good company, we will be pouring both - with just the right touch of autumn edge.
Aperitif - November 27th
As the days grow shorter and the air turns cool, November invites us indoors to slower conversations, richer wines and shared ideas by candlelight. As the season brings truffles, late grape harvests, and the comfort of family gatherings, take one evening to connect with your wider circle. Our November Aperitif is just the place to do it - warm, unhurried and full of good flavour.
Aperitif - Decenber 18th
December invites a moment of stillness: a quiet space between what has been achieved and what is yet to begin. It’s when conversations take on more meaning and connections feel less rushed.
Join us for the final Aperitif of the year - not just to close the calendar, but to share thoughts, intentions and a sense of direction for the road ahead.
And yes, there will be room for warmth, laughter and a few wishes exchanged over something festive in hand.
To make sure we find the perfect setting for everyone eager to join, we invite you to register your interest early - we would not want you to miss this special evening.

July Event
Our July Aperitif gathered more guests than usual and with them came a lively rhythm that carried the evening effortlessly into summer mode. There was a certain ease in the air, a sense of shared pace before the August pause and perhaps even a hint that a bigger crowd brings its own kind of magic.
Thank you to everyone who made it such a vibrant close to the season. We’ll see you in September – rested, recharged and ready for what’s next.
As June set the stage for summer and thoughts of holidays edged closer, our community gathered for an evening that captured both focus and ease. Against the elegant backdrop of The Villa in Balluta Bay, lively conversations, thoughtful exchanges and a genuinely warm crowd made the Aperitif a pleasure from start to finish.
Thank you to everyone who joined us and to the team for their wonderful hospitality. Enjoy reliving the evening through these moments we’ve captured.
May Event
With a sea breeze in the air and conversations carried well into the evening, our May Aperitif felt like a gentle pause before summer truly took hold. Set outdoors, with curious minds and cheerful faces all around, it was one of those gatherings where time slipped by unnoticed – in the best possible way.
Thank you to everyone who brought their spark and made it another evening to smile about. The photos say the rest.
