What is the Wine Club?

Eight of the Okanagan’s most prestigious brands: Jackson-Triggs, SunRock Vineyard, Inniskillin, Sumac Ridge, Black Sage Vineyard, Steller's Jay, See Ya Later Ranch and Nk'Mip Cellars have come together to bring you a truly unique offering, the Great Estates Okanagan Wine Club. Members of our wine club will have the convenience of receiving some of the Okanagan’s greatest wines delivered directly to your door along with invitations to our members-only events at our wineries.

We have a variety of packages to fit your needs. Wines are sent monthly, bi-monthly, quarterly or bi-annually. Packages include red wines, white wines or a combination of both.      

Please note that we can only ship within the provinces of British Columbia, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Nova Scotia.

Can I choose my own wine?

Members are able to select the club they want to belong to by brand (Great Estates Okanagan, Jackson-Triggs & Inniskillin, See Ya Later Ranch, or Sumac Ridge) or by wine type (Mixed, White, or Red, when available). Two of our most popular clubs are the Great Estates four-bottle Mixed Quarterly and four-bottle Mixed bi-monthly.

In each package, we will email a list of the proposed wine selection along with two alternate selections. Members can adjust their wine selections from this proposed list.

If you select a mixed package you will be receiving primarily a mix of white and red wines but may infrequently receive a selection of our award winning dessert and sparkling wines.

In each package, we will email a list of the proposed wine selection along with two alternate selections. Members can adjust their wine selections from this proposed list.

If you've missed the selection period, wines receive in your Wine Club shipment cannot be exchanged. We hope that you will open the bottle of a variety that you don't think you like and be delightfully surprised!

We try to send a wide variety of our premium VQA wines in hopes that you will sample something new that you will love. Our Wine Clubs showcase a variety of wines - and are a sampler package of what the Okanagan has to offer! Wine also makes the perfect host/hostess gift so pass the bottle along to someone who will be able to enjoy it! 

If you are finding you prefer red wines or prefer white wines, perhaps you might be interested in switching to a red or white only club for your next shipment.  To switch clubs you can contact the Great Estates Okanagan Wine Club at wineclub@greatestatesokanagan.com.
