Wine Club FAQ

Great Estates Niagara Wine Club includes a rotating selection of wines from our prestigious Estate Wineries: Inniskillin, Jackson-Triggs, Kew, Le Clos Jordanne and Sandbanks. You will also receive special feature wines from our other premium brands. Wines are sent to your home or office each month or quarter to fit your budget and frequency needs.

At this time the Great Estates Niagara Wine Club is limited to residents of Ontario, Manitoba, British Columbia and Nova Scotia. Alberta residents can check out our other Wine Clubs options at Great Estates Okanagan.

Members are able to select the club they want to belong to by brand (Great Estates Niagara, Jackson-Triggs, or Inniskillin) or by wine type (Mixed, White, or Red, when available). Our most popular clubs are the Great Estates Niagara four- bottle Mixed, Red or White. Home for the Holidays is another very popular club.

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.
