"For the Elves of the High Kindred had not yet forsaken Middle-earth, and they dwelt still at that time at the Grey Havens away to the west, and in other places within reach of the Shire."
Prologue, Concerning Hobbits
Stephen Hickman - Wandering Eldar

The Wandering Companies were traveling groups of High Elves in Eriador of the Third Age.

They set out from Rivendell to various destinations, of which only the Tower Hills are known.[1]

The Hobbits had contact with Elves around Eriador, and tThe Fallohides were friendlier to the Elves than other Hobbits. Along with Dwarves, they were a source of news from the outside world. It is possible that the Shire-hobbits learned the art of building directly from them. However as time passed in the Shire, they had less contact with the Elves, growing some fewar about them, and distrust for those that had dealings with them, coupled with a fear for the Sea.[2]

Frodo Baggins, Samwise Gamgee and Peregrin Took encountered one such Wandering Company, led by Gildor Inglorion, on September T.A. 3018. They were on their way back to Rivendell, after having gazed in the Palantír of the Tower Hills, seeking a glimpse of Elbereth.[3]
