More than a Club – an Education
Wine Folly Club isn’t about wine – it’s about your journey with wine. It’s going beyond the label to learn and understand what makes each wine unique.
Every month, Club Members have access to micro-courses for six different grapes and regions, along with tasting notes, recommendations, and how to enjoy the wines. The wines, of course, are a tasty cherry on top.

Steep terraced vineyards above the Danube River, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and some of the finest wines in Europe. This small region (just 12 miles or 19 km long) 1 hour west of Vienna packs a punch, especially when it comes to Grüner Veltliner.
