What is Stags’ Leap wine club?

The membership of Stags’ Leap’s wine clubs is very much geared towards the luxury end of the market and the experienced wine drinker. This one may be a little intimidating for you if you’re new to wine or are looking for a simple introduction.

You may choose one of two memberships and receive shipments of either four or six bottles of wine each quarter. You’ll also be eligible for a number of other benefits including invitations to private events. Joining is an easy process and you just need to fill in a short online form.

The Bottom Line

There’s no doubt that Stags’ Leap has some good quality wines. This will appeal to those who want a luxury brand, or those that live in the Napa Valley area and can take advantage of the additional membership benefits.

However, there are many other wine clubs that offer luxury brands at better prices. The Wall Street Journal Wine Club offers a premium service at less than half the price of Stags’ Leap.

If you want to taste a wide variety of wines every month, you’d also be advised to try another club. Firstleaf has a huge range to sample and gives you complete freedom to choose the wines you’d like.
