Wine Club FAQ

Great Estates Niagara Wine Club includes a rotating selection of wines from our prestigious Estate Wineries: Inniskillin and Jackson-Triggs. 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). Two of our most popular clubs are the Great Estates Niagara two- and four- bottle Mixed. 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.

Prepaid memberships cancel automatically at the end of the term. To renew your prepaid membership, please contact the Great Estates Niagara Wine Club at 905-468-4637 X 6170.
