I started this wine club, by request, in November of 2009. My first wine club members are still club members today!
I figured out a formula that would work for us back then, in November of 2009. I would charge a certain amount to cover the cost of six bottles of wine, and I priced it at $185.00 including shipping and delivery directly to your door twice per year (states allowed by the law). To encourage our club members to come and pick up their wines and enjoy our winery, I included an extra bottle of wine (we call the bonus bottle) in lieu of shipping the wine.
In order to make the wine club membership more interesting, in 2010 we decided to host a party to celebrate the new wines being released for the current club selection. The second week-end of every May and November we host a winemaker’s dinner, for wine club members only. Held in the main cellar, we prepare an authentic Italian meal to pair with the new wines. Seating is family style at conviviality tables, accompanied by Italian Arias in between the courses, sung by a talented soprano.
There is more!
Every June my wife Sandy and I lead a tour of Italy available to wine club members only.
Through my Italian wine import business that I started in 1991, I have a strong connection with wineries all over Italy.
During the tour we take the participating Club Members to visit the wineries in Italy, enjoying wonderful lunches and dinners with our winemakers and friends.
For a ten-day period, we visit interesting and off the beaten path places, all over the boot! We stay in fabulous hotels and enjoy the camaraderie and friendship that we have gathered here at Marchesi Vineyards.
We are excited to welcome you into the Marchesi Family!
Ciao,
Franco Marchesi
