Choose from four membership options, each providing something to cater to different tastes. All wines are pre-selected by the Mari staff and you have the option to receive between 2 and 4 bottles shipped each quarter. The sign-up process can be completed quickly online.

About the wine

As a small, family-owned vineyard, Mari understandably has a much smaller range of wines than you might see at other wine clubs. However, it does have a few more exotic options including Riesling, Pinot Bianco, Malvasia Bianca, and Gruner veltliner.

Only the Mari brand is on offer as part of the club membership, although this does bring the added benefit of getting your hands on some exclusives.

Mari sometimes offers discount codes to coincide with holidays like memorial day weekend. These can sometimes be as much as 20% off your order. Check-in with the Mari website to find out more.

Mari Vineyards Price and Shipping

Shipping costs will depend on your membership level. Two bottles will cost $15.18, three is $16.13, and four bottles is $17.47. This may be more expensive outside of Michigan. Mari also only currently ships to 10 states.

The Bottom line

Mari Vineyards is a good choice if you live in the local area, enjoy Michigan wines. and would like to take the tour.

However, if you’re looking for a wide range of variety, cheaper options, and more international wines, one of the bigger wine clubs, such as Winc, would be a better starting point.
