Groucho Marx had probably never joined a wine club when he famously said, “I don’t want to belong to any club that would accept me as one of its members.” We think being a wine club member or part of a wine of the month club program is one of life’s greatest little pleasures. Joining one not only allows you to try a wide range of wines often curated to your specifications, be your preference Pinot Noir, Rosé, wacky blends, nothing but bubbles, or everything in between, but it also offers a long list of other perks like exclusive access to events and wine allocations, deep discounts, the chance to meet the winemaker, complimentary tastings, and more. 

Is a Wine Club Right For You?

If you love the idea of curated wines showing up at your door—no guesswork, no grocery store scramble—a wine club might be just the thing. It’s a great way to break out of your usual rotation, explore new varietals, and maybe even find a few unexpected favorites. Many clubs offer customization and even educational materials, like tasting notes, regional highlights, and recipe pairings. Of course, if you’ve got a great local wine shop with a knowledgeable staff, that’s always a solid option. But for ease, variety, and a little extra excitement with every shipment, a wine club is hard to beat.

To help you navigate all the options out there, from Napa to Sonoma and beyond, we have rounded up some of our favorite wine clubs and wine subscription services, from the traditional to the offbeat, so you can fill your cellar and tasting calendar for months to come.

Foley Connoisseur Club

The Foley Family of Wines is a vast portfolio that stretches across Wine Country, reaching far beyond California. Their coveted Connoisseur Club offers members a litany of benefits, from access to their library wines to complimentary tastings at their sister properties, like Chalk Hill Estate Winery in Sonoma. Choose from two membership options, either 4 to 6 wines, in mixed, red, or white collections, depending on your favorite. Both options ship quarterly to ensure that you never run out of an array of quality wines.

Jordan Winery

California wine lovers have long flocked to Sonoma’s Jordan Winery for its wine tasting experiences and culinary-focused offerings, and true wine insiders know that the Jordan club is for those who want more than just wine delivered to their doors. More of a loyalty program than a traditional wine club, Jordan Estate Rewards allows customers to accrue points that can be redeemed for exclusive food and wine experiences. Membership is complimentary and comes with 3,000 bonus points when you join Jordan’s mailing list. From there, you earn points for every dollar spent at the winery in Healdsburg, online, or by phone. Free to join.

Francis Ford Coppola Winery

Founded by the legendary filmmaker of the same name, Francis Ford Coppola Winery is a haven for wine lovers, modeled after the dreamy Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen. With that in mind, it’s no wonder their Wine Club has such a long list of amenities. Joining the Francis Ford Coppola Family gets you exclusive access to new wines and events, alongside hefty discounts on merchandise, wine, and even the onsite restaurant, Rustic, and Pool Cafe (yes, there’s a pool!). Choose from either the Amanti or Amore option, depending on what caliber of wines you’re interested in. From $195, 6-12 bottles, quarterly or biannual shipments.

Pine Ridge Vineyards

Wine club members at Pine Ridge Vineyards in the Stags Leap District of Napa Valley join for the limited-edition, cellar-worthy Cabernet Sauvignon and Bordeaux varieties, artfully crafted from the winery’s estate vineyards across five renowned appellations—Stags Leap District, Howell Mountain, Oakville, Rutherford, and Carneros. They stay for complimentary tastings, private invitations to exclusive winery events, and other premium perks. From $300, 3-12 bottles/shipment.

Gary Farrell Winery

Known for their single vineyard Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, Gary Farrell Winery offers a large array of membership options to suit all vino connoisseurs. Sure, you could opt to join one of their three traditional clubs, which offer exclusive access to library wines, discounts on other wine purchases, complimentary tastings, and more. But what really sets Gary Farrell Winery’s club options apart is their Subscription Membership, a unique and more flexible alternative to the traditional wine club that allows members to skip or cancel shipments at any time. Choose to receive your wine in 2, 4, or 6 month increments to fit your needs. From $150, 4 bottles/shipment.

Robert Mondavi

You’ll find a variety of different wine clubs at legendary Napa winery, Robert Mondavi. Although there are three different membership options to pick from, The Moscato Club provides the best bang for your buck. You’ll receive six bottles per quarterly release, free shipping, and complimentary tastings, including at Arch & Tower, their gorgeous downtown Napa location that overlooks the river. From $350, 3-6 bottles/shipment.

St. Francis Winery & Vineyards

It’s no wonder so many of the St. Francis Wine Club members have been active for decades. In addition to curated wine allocations and complimentary tasting flights, members also gain exclusive pricing and access to the beloved Sonoma County winery’s small production “Artisan Collection,” special accommodation pricing with local lodging partners, and lots more. Choose from one of three club tiers. From $175, 4-12 bottles/shipment.

Hess Persson Estates

The Hess Collection has been producing noteworthy Napa Valley wines for over 40 years, while the Lions Head Collection represents a new era in the Hess Persson Estates legacy. Fans of both old and new won’t want to miss joining The Collectors Club, the best way to experience the diversity and quality of the two labels. In addition to special member pricing and wine customization, members also receive exclusive chef-created recipe pairings with each shipment, complimentary tastings, and access to the Hess Contemporary Art Museum and other elevated winery experiences. From $198, 3-12+ bottles/shipment.

Sequoia Grove Winery

Sequoia Grove Winery is a family-owned winery located in the picturesque Rutherford region of Napa. While known for their Cabernet, one need not be limited to one varietal when it comes to their wine club. Choose from three different tiers—“Rare Reds,” “Classic Cabernet,” and the “Mixed Six,” and enjoy world-class wines, complimentary tastings, and reduced rates on their elevated food and wine pairings, like the unforgettable Taste of Cabernet experience. Wine club members are also promised “Warm hospitality, a personal touch, and a sense of belonging,” which never goes out of style. From $195, 3-6 bottles/shipment.

Woman-Owned Wineries

Amy Bess Cook launched Woman-Owned Wineries in 2017 to help create greater equity in the wine industry. This online directory also features a wine subscription, offering curated monthly deliveries of wine from female vintners. WOW prioritizes wines that reflect ethical farming practices from Sonoma County and across California, as well as other wine regions such as the Pacific Northwest and Texas, and regularly shares exclusive stories about talented female winemakers you won’t read anywhere else. Members can choose from monthly or quarterly shipments, but there’s also an a la carte option if you don’t want to commit right off the bat. From $107, 3 bottles/shipment.

Tank Garage Winery
