March 31 2023, Mercedes-Benz Vancouver
Choose comfort without sacrificing experience. Enjoy the best of the Okanagan Valley from home.
Local winery subscriptions are sought-after by Vancouverites because they offer an impressive array of perks and privileges. Members uncork front-of-line access to limited library wines, exclusive invitations to winery events, unlimited private tastings and tours, and more-- making the idea of membership particularly intoxicating.
Some wineries give their members advanced access to prestigious and limited-run wines before they ever go to retail. Some offer rare and limited-release wines to members alone. And some see so much demand that their limited memberships sell out completely, with waitlists that are years long.
These B.C. wineries will help you bring the breezy sophistication of a vineyard to your own backyard with their coveted clubs and signature subscriptions. Which one would you select?
