What Is a Wine Club?
A wine club is a membership program that allows members to receive curated wine shipments throughout the year, along with exclusive benefits such as preferred pricing, complimentary tastings, and access to limited-production wines.
Most Napa Valley wine clubs focus on either convenience or exclusivity. The Markham Merit Society wine club does both, offering flexibility, customization, and insider access to wines that reflect our nearly 50-year history in Napa Valley.
What Makes the Markham Wine Club Different?
The Markham Merit Society wine club was thoughtfully designed to prioritize choice, transparency, and experience, but what truly sets it apart are member-only Rewards Points and exclusive benefits at our sister winery MacRostie Winery. Together, these perks extend the value of membership far beyond wine shipments alone.
Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, our flexible wine club membership allows you to select the tier and wine style that best matches how – and how often – you enjoy wine, while earning rewards and enjoying VIP treatment at two celebrated California wineries.
All members receive:
- Three shipments per year (March, May, and November)
- The ability to customize each shipment
- Exclusive pricing on wines and experiences
- Rewards Points earned on wine, tastings, events, and merchandise
- Sister winery benefits at MacRostie Winery
- Invitations to winery events and early access to new releases
This structure makes Markham’s program an ideal Napa Valley wine club membership for both casual wine lovers and serious enthusiasts, especially those who value flexibility, added rewards, and access across multiple wine regions.

Rewards Points: Extra Value for Members Only
One of the newest benefits of the Markham Merit Society wine club is our Rewards Points program, available exclusively to active members.
Members earn points on nearly every purchase—including wine, tastings, events, and merchandise—and can redeem those points for savings on future orders. Points never expire as long as membership remains active, making this an easy way to add value to your Napa Valley wine club membership over time.
Sister Winery Benefits at MacRostie Winery
Markham Merit Society wine club members also enjoy exclusive privileges at our sister winery MacRostie Winery in Healdsburg—home to acclaimed Sonoma Coast and Russian River Valley Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
Depending on your Markham membership tier, benefits at MacRostie include:
- 15–20% savings on wine purchases
- Complimentary tastings for you and your guests
This partnership allows members to enjoy VIP treatment at two celebrated California wineries, making Markham’s program one of the most rewarding Napa wine clubs available.
