Napa Wine Club Options

Napa Wine Club...
From the Valleys of Plenty

Napa Valley is one of the oldest wine regions in the United States. In fact, as early as the eve of the 20th century, there were already over 140 wineries established in the area.

This rich tradition, along with the region's ideal climate, make for one of the top American viticultural areas. You'll find that some of those early Napa wineries exist even today, and the local wine industry has grown exponentially over the last decades.

With such a background, it is not surprising that the Napa wine club is a quite common and established institution; many of the over 700 wineries active in the region today feature their own wine clubs.

If you are a California wine lover, you should definitely check out the Napa Valley wine clubs on offer in the market today.

As a matter of fact, the Napa Valley is considered, by many experts, to be the top wine region in the United States, yielding some of the best Cabernet Sauvignons in the world, to name just one of the most popular varietals produced here.

Top Napa Wine Clubs

In a recently conducted independent research, the following four wineries were selected as the ones featuring the best Napa wine clubs: Mumm's, Benziger, St. Supery, and Rodney Strong.

As the criteria for the survey pretty much covered everything you might care about, I will now concentrate on giving you some details on each one of them.

Mumm's & Benziger

If you are crazy about bubbly, the Mumm Winery's Club Vivant offers some fabulous events, such as their unusual Lobster Feed at the vineyard, besides its excellent sparkling wine selections, which come in bi-monthly two bottle shipments for a $45 fee.

The more exclusive Club Magnifique also features two-person passes for private reserve tastings, plus 6 Mumm logo flutes, among other very exclusive benefits. Club Magnifique membership is limited, and you can receive pricing information and more details by phone only.

On the other hand, the Benziger Family Winery's wine clubs are called Benziger Family, Pinot Cellar, and Benziger Partners.

The last one is the most original wine plan, as it offers an interesting selection of wines produced using Biodynamics. Of course, as a Pinot lover, you will choose Pinot Cellar, and finally, if you are a Benziger wine fan you'll probably opt for the Benziger Family selection in order to stay up to date with your favorite winery's latest releases.

St. Supery & Rodney Strong

The wine plans offered by the Rodney Strong Winery are quite straightforward: there are two variations between 2 and 4-bottle deliveries for both of their clubs called Collecting Reds and Collector's Choice.

As a member, you will also receive a newsletter, special discounts, plus access to private events and VIP tours of the vineyards and winery.

At St. Supery, there is a choice between a regular membership, which is bi-monthly and includes two bottles per shipment, and the Divine Club, which features top estate, current vintage and library selection wines, delivered in the same manner.

Land of Plenty

In short, the variety of Napa wine clubs in the market will excite you, whether you like reds or whites, Cabernet or Pinot.

Among the fruits of this land of plenty, you are sure to find a perfect blend, the ultimate vintage, or that rare reserve selection you had been looking for... even if you count yourself among the world's most demanding connoisseurs. :-)

Enjoy!
