The Gift That Arrives Three Times a Year: A Wine Club Membership
A bottle of wine makes a lovely present, and it is gone in an evening. A wine club membership keeps arriving, six bottles at a time and three times a year, with a seat at our tasting table in between. For the right person, it lasts long after the wrapping paper has gone.
We make wine on Keuka Lake, outside Hammondsport. For many of our guests, the Wine Club is how they keep in touch with the place once they have gone home, and a gift membership passes that on to someone else.
What does a wine club gift include?
Our Wine Club sends six bottles per shipment, three times a year, and each shipment can be personalized to the member's preferences. Members also get complimentary tastings at the winery for themselves and up to three guests, along with access to our sparkling wines, which are reserved for members. Our Wine Club page has the details.
The shipments are the part people expect. What members tend to talk about is the rest. A complimentary tasting for the member and three guests turns a visit to Keuka Lake into an afternoon to share. Then there are the sparkling wines, made by the méthode champenoise: each bottle is handled at least 68 times and rests more than ten years on the lees.
- Six bottles in each shipment.
- Three shipments a year.
- Shipments personalized to the member's preferences.
- Complimentary tastings for the member and up to three guests.
- Access to our sparkling wines, reserved for members.
The current details and terms live on our Wine Club page, and our team is happy to answer questions before you decide.
Who is a wine club membership a good gift for?
A membership suits someone who enjoys wine at the table and likes learning about it. That could be a friend who has visited the Finger Lakes, a host who cooks for friends, a couple who travel together, or anyone curious about sparkling wine made the slow, traditional way.
The best recipients use every part of it. Someone who lives within reach of Keuka Lake gets the full value of the complimentary tastings and can bring three friends each time. A person who hosts dinners gets six bottles to plan a table around, and one who likes to understand what is in the glass gets a reason to come back with more questions.
A good match for someone who
- Visited the Finger Lakes with you and still talks about it.
- Cooks for friends and likes to choose the wine.
- Enjoys sparkling wine for occasions large and small.
- Asks the person pouring how a wine was made.
- Would welcome a reason to come back to Keuka Lake with three friends.
Why give a membership instead of a bottle?
A bottle marks one evening. A membership comes back three times a year with six bottles each time, and it adds complimentary visits to the winery for the member and three guests. Over the year, it keeps the recipient connected to a place and to the people who made the wine.
It is also personal. Because each shipment can be tailored, the gift follows the recipient's own preferences over time, toward our whites or our reds, whichever they enjoy. It ends up feeling like their club rather than a box someone chose for them once.
Six bottles also means six dinners, or one very good one. For a recipient planning a table around that first shipment, our guide to how many glasses are in a bottle of wine does the arithmetic.
How do you give a wine club membership as a gift?
The simplest way is to start on our Wine Club page or to contact our team directly. We will explain how a gift membership works, what we need to know about the recipient and how the shipments are arranged. If you would rather let the recipient choose, gift cards are also available in our shop.
A gift membership comes with a few practical details, such as the recipient's address, their preferences and the timing of the first shipment. Our team works through these with you, so the gift arrives the way you intended. Visit the Wine Club page or get in touch, and we will take it from there.
One rule applies to every wine gift. The recipient must be 21 or older, and wine deliveries in the United States generally need an adult aged 21 or older to sign for them, so check whether someone will be home to receive the box.
Giving a membership for the holidays
December is when most people think of this gift, and it is a good month to give it. A handwritten note telling the recipient what is on its way is easy to wrap, and the first shipment or the first visit gives them something to look forward to. For a holiday gift, contact us early in the month so our team has time to set everything up with you.
We think of a membership as an invitation, and we look forward to meeting the person who receives it and pouring for them and their three guests.
If you would like to see where the wine comes from before you give it, come and taste with us. A seated tasting on Keuka Lake is a good way to decide, and our team can answer your questions about the club at the same table. Our experiences page lists the options.
