For a quarterly membership fee, the Wise Bird Cider Club offers four shipments of cider each year with access to exclusive events, taproom specials, preferred pricing, and special merchandise. Each membership can be enjoyed by two people (you and a plus one).
BENEFITS
Cider
Quarterly, the cider makers select your shipment, including new releases, special products or vintages not always available to other customers.
Each quarterly shipment typically contains two 750ml bottles of new, rare, or exclusive ciders but may also include a 375ml bottle of a dessert cider.
Cider Club members who opt to pick up their orders will also receive a punch card for a complimentary glass of cider for two people each month. Home delivery club members receive an extra bonus bottle or piece of merchandise per year in lieu of the punch card.
Merchandise
With their first quarterly shipment, Club members receive two Wise Bird glasses.
Preferred Pricing
Cider Club members receive preferred pricing year-round of 10% off all purchases.
VIP Event Access
Each quarter (March, June, September, December), we host a Cider Club party at the cidery for shipment pickup, with complimentary tastings and often small-batch and/or Cider Club exclusive cider releases.
Cider Club members are also invited to pre-release parties of new vintages/products throughout the year for a sneak peek at products before they go out to the public.
Cider Club members will also receive early access to special ticketed events at the cidery, such as our Chef’s Series Cider Dinners; Cider, Cheese and Charcuterie classes; cider-making and apple tree grafting classes; and others.
