Wine club members receive a 20% discount on all wine and merchandise purchases (25% on wine orders of 12 bottles or more), the opportunity to order futures on the Esprit de Beaucastel and Panoplie, and priority invitations to and discounts on winemaker dinners, educational seminars, and special events.
