Wine Club 101: Introducing the Wine Club weekend

The new year comes with opportunities for new adventures with Texas wine, so we want to take some time to highlight the great benefits that come with our Wine Club memberships. If you’re a fan of the Texas Wine Trail and the award-winning wine we offer at our Hill Country winery, you’ll love being a Wine Club member. 

Our Pedernales Cellars Wine Club members get all the best perks, including early and/or exclusive access to limited series and newly released wines, free wine tastings for you and a friend, quarterly Wine Club pickup parties, discounts on wine and special event tickets, and insights into our winemaking process with food pairings at our new Winemaker Insights. 

We love spending time with our Wine Club members so much that we are expanding our Wine Club Release parties from one Sunday per quarter to “Wine Club Weekends'' with member events spread over several days each quarter. Members enjoy meeting other Texas wine lovers in this wonderful community of Wine Club members and our Pedernales Cellars team. Can’t make it to any of the Wine Club Weekend events? Following each release, members can stop by anytime Friday through Sunday to pick up their wine and enjoy the Wine Club exclusive menu that changes with each release.
