Wine Types & Quality

The California Wine Club sources its wines from small wineries, both locally and overseas. In this way, they gain access to unlabelled, locally, and passionately produced bottles. The California Wine Club then distributes these wines to their customer base, bringing them to consumers that wouldn’t otherwise have access.

They get to know the winemakers personally and ask them for their best products, and then assess their quality through personally tasting the wines. They only distribute it if they would be happy to serve it at their own table. They guarantee their beverages with a ‘Love it” guarantee which offers immediate refunds or exchanges if you aren’t happy.

They offer a choice of six wine club levels, ranging in budget and focus. For example, The California Wine Club’s International Series offers customers a taste of the exotic by bringing in wines from around the world. In this series, you will have a chance to try wines from Europe, South America, Africa, and other exciting locales.

Club levels offer new wines each month, sometimes from a different winery, giving customers something to look forward to. Selections range from Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, sparkling wine, Pinot, Merlot, and more.

Every wine listed on the site comes with a summary of the wine, including information on which food pairs best with that particular selection.

Membership Options

The California Wine Club offers five different series to choose from. Most offer either a two or four-bottle-per-month option, except for the Signature series, which also provides a three-bottle-per-month option. There are a range of wine club benefits, including access to staff who are available to answer any of your wine-related questions, a $1 delivery fee, and VIP tours to a California winery of your choice if you happen to be in the area!
