North Berkeley Wine Clubs
North Berkeley Wine Clubs represent our finest wines from France, Italy, Chile and beyond,
handpicked for you each month by our expert staff. Becoming a member is like having
your own personal wine buyer!
And frankly, you couldn’t pick a more knowledgeable guide to the best wines of the world.
Over the past 20 years we’ve built solid relationships with winemakers to bring
you only the best. We’ve tasted each wine multiple times, from fresh must under
the press to young wine freshly bottled, to ensure each is the purest expression
of terroir we can find. Many of these wines are exclusive to North Berkeley Wine;
they are unique bottles that with the generous help of the winemaker, we’ve selected
to bring you only the best.
Unlike other clubs that are more interested in volume than quality, our clubs have
been created with your discerning taste in mind. Our producers, who often grow their
own grapes and harvest by hand, craft only a limited quantity of cases each year.
Whether you want to learn more about wine, add bottles to your cellar or give a
distinctive gift, we have the Club for you!
Each Club shipment contains 3 bottles, usually two red wines and one white wine.
(Club Mediterranean is an all red-wine club.) We will also include detailed notes
on each wine, with information on regional history, winemaking techniques, pairing
suggestions and cellaring recommendations. And as a Club member, if you’d like to
buy additional bottles, you’ll receive a special 15% discount!
$50 per shipment: Club Med makes it easy to become an expert while you taste your way through great wine values from the world's top winemakers. This club is an all red-wine club. For example, you'll experience spicy Grenache from the Rhône Valley, Sangiovese from the sun-kissed Tuscan countryside, or bold Cabernet Sauvignon from California's Alexander Valley. Detailed tasting notes will familiarize you with regions, grape varietals and our favorite winemakers.

$75 per shipment: If you love Burgundy like we do, this
is the club for you! Club Beaune features the best Pinot Noir and
Chardonnay from this historic region in France, from the gustatory
capital of Dijon to the bucolic hills of Beaujolais. Not only will you
taste exemplary wines from our favorite producers in the Côte d’Or, but
also impressive and rare wines from artisan winemakers in the Côte
Chalonnaise and the Mâconnais.

$75 per shipment: Best translated as a “sense of
place,” terroir is integral to a wine’s personality. With Club Terroir,
you’ll travel with all your senses around the globe to experience what
makes wine unique—whether Aglianico raised on Italian volcanic soil or
Syrah from wind-swept California slopes. You’ll learn about rare Italian
varietals; you’ll marvel at the change in Pinot Noir from different
Burgundy appellations. Club notes will include vineyard details,
winemaking techniques and vintage specifics.

bring you some of the best wines in the world!
