HOW DOES THE WINE CLUB WORK?

The Wine Club gives you the convenience of receiving quarterly shipments of 3, 6, or 12 bottles of our wine with up to 20% savings.

WHAT SAVINGS APPLY TO WINE CLUB PURCHASES?

Each membership level gets access to a different level of discount. These discounts apply to wine shipments and additional wine purchases:

3-bottle – 10% discount on Cellar Door prices
6-bottle – 15% discount on Cellar Door prices
12-bottle - 20% discount on Cellar Door prices

WHAT DOES IT COST TO JOIN THE WINE CLUB?

Wine Club Membership is free. You simply have to commit to purchasing a minimum of 3 bottles of wine every 3 months for the next year (or a minimum of one 12 bottle case for overseas members).

DOES THE WINE CLUB DISCOUNT APPLY TO WINE PURCHASED IN ADDITION TO MY QUARTERLY SHIPMENTS?

Yes, you will enjoy the same rate of discount on all additional wine bottle purchases made at the winery, online or by telephone.

WHAT FREIGHT CHARGES APPLY TO WINE CLUB PURCHASES?

All purchases of 12 or more bottles are shipped for free within New Zealand. A standard $12.50 freight charge applies to 3 and 6 bottle purchases. International shipping rates apply.

IS THE WINE CLUB OPEN TO OVERSEAS MEMBERSHIPS?

Yes. We offer the option of getting either a 12-bottle case or 15-bottle case once, twice or four times a year. Shipping 15 bottles is the most cost effective way to send wine internationally.

International members can also choose which shipments months they would like to receive their wine. The shipment months are February, May, August and November. Overseas members can choose to receive one case annually, one case every 6 months or one case every 3 months and still enjoy a 10%, 15% or 20% discount. All this is in addition to the special discounts and benefits you’ll get for being a Wine Club member. These preferences can be set online once logging into your account.

WHICH WINE WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE WINE CLUB SHIPMENTS?

We offer three different options so you can always get the wine you love.

  • Winemaker’s Selection – includes a range of varietals carefully selected by our Chief Winemaker Christopher Keys of either two reds and one white or one red and two whites
  • Purely Pinot – includes a top pick of our premium Pinot Noir, carefully selected by our Chief Winemaker Christopher Keys
  • Custom Selection– Create your own custom selection of the wines you love before each shipment month.


Wine selections can be made on your online account or by calling our Wine Club Concierge who can help you select the perfect wines for your shipment.

HOW DO I KNOW WHICH WINES WILL BE INCLUDED IN EACH SHIPMENT?

The month prior to your shipment, you can log into your Wine Club account to see which wines you'll be receiving. You'll also be sent a shipment announcement email with the wines that will be included in your next shipment.

WHEN ARE THE QUARTERLY SHIPMENTS MADE?

Shipments will be processed and dispatched within the first two weeks of the shipments months of February, May, August and November.
