We’re excited to introduce something new that makes your Tablas Creek VINsider membership even more valuable: The Wine Atlas Collective.

We’ve joined forces with seven other family-owned, sustainably-minded wineries from around the country to bring added benefits to all our club members. Starting July 1st, if you’re a VINsider, you’re a member everywhere in the Collective.

The Wine Atlas Collective is a group of eight independently operated, sustainably-minded wineries. As a member at any one of them, you’ll be welcomed as a member at them all.

Together, these wineries represent some of the best wine regions in the country and offer a uniquely diverse range of styles, with over 40 grape varieties represented. The wineries are:

• Blenheim Vineyards – Virginia
• Brooks – Oregon
• Frog’s Leap – Napa Valley
• L’Ecole № 41 – Washington
• Red Tail Ridge – New York (Finger Lakes)
• Ridge Vineyards – Sonoma & Santa Cruz Mountains

Your VINsider membership now unlocks exclusive perks when you visit any of the other wineries in the Collective, including:

• Complimentary or discounted tastings
• Access to member-only wines
• Special hospitality when you visit
• Additional benefits coming later this year

Please note that these reciprocal benefits currently apply only to in-person visits.
