During your visit to Napa you will be offered membership opportunities at just about every winery you visit. Wine Club membership is a great way to deepen your connection to the Napa Valley, to learn about wine, to have exclusive access to wine parties and events, and, most importantly, to get access to phenomenal wines at discounted prices.
Two questions come up in the minds of many visitors:
- How many wine club memberships is the right amount to join?
- What is the best wine membership in Napa for me?
The first question generally boils down to how much Napa wine one wants to have? While this number varies from person to person, there are certain perks for joining at a larger level, first and foremost being more wine! In the Hill Family Estate Wine Club, the three bottle membership means that once a quarter, you get three bottles of wine (at a 15% discount with $25 shipping). That amounts to a bottle a month. If you up that to a six bottle membership, you get an average of two bottles a month, all at a 20% discount AND free shipping. If six bottles seems big, remember that a quarterly shipment of six bottles is only two per month. A three bottle membership is only one bottle a month!
The answer to the second question is more complicated. Obviously, you will onty want to join wine clubs that get you the wine you love! But with the general high quality of Napa Valley wine, you might want something else to determine what the best wine membership in Napa is for you! If you are in the area with any frequency, then membership benefits like free member tastings, Member Happy Hours, winery visits, special events, such as our Tomatoville and Chocolateville events make the wine club a true club. Also, the wine club can get you access to special library releases, discounts at Napa Valley hotels and experiences like the Hill Family Estate Secret Garden Tour.
However many clubs you join, be assured that the right club membership will enhance your Napa Valley experience and will give you access to bonuses not available to the general public.
