Canada produces some extraordinary wine, and you can have the chance to try award-winning Okanagan Valley wine with Meyer Family Vineyards wine club. Much like the popular food and snack clubs that are trendy because they are a convenient way to discover new food and drink, wine clubs are an easy way to try new bottles of wine from the comforts of your home.
Once you join the Meyer Family Vineyards wine club, you will be sent 4 bottles of their wine to your home 3 times a year! After you get your bottles of wine, it is up to you if you want to host a wine tasting with friends or savor one bottle of their award-winning wine at a time.

My Experience
As part of the Meyer Family Vineyards wine club, two of the wines I received were the 2016 Tribute Series Chardonnay and the NV Méthode Traditionnelle, Extra Brut sparkling wine.
The excellent NV Méthode Traditionnelle was awarded the Silver medal at the 2017 National Wine Awards of Canada and has received many positive reviews from wine writers and critics including 92 Points from John Schreiner, 91 Points from Beppi Crosariol in the Globe & Mail and 90 Points from Rhys Pender in Wine Align. The dry wine is a perfect aperitif, with notes of apples and pears. A blend of 70% Chardonnay and 30% Pinot Noir, the hand-harvested grapes were used to create this fantastic sparkling wine that has only 550 cases produced.
The 2016 Tribute Series Chardonnay has a creamy feel to the mouth, with notes of lemon, vanilla, and oak. It would pair well with creamy dishes such as seafood or pasta.
This was my first time joining a wine club, and I highly recommend the experience. Having wine delivered to your home is not only convenient but it as a fun package to get too! On the Meyer Family Vineyards wine club’s website, you can find detailed tasting notes for each wine you receive allowing you have a wine tasting of Okanagan Valley Wine. Go sign up today to join the club, and receive wine from Canada’s #2 Small Winery shipped to your home!
