Memberships

Membership is how you're first in line…

Why an allocation

Our yields rarely pass two tons an acre. What the ridge gives, we bottle. Members see it first, often before it reaches anyone else at all.

And when we bottle something beyond the ridge, small specialty lots that vary vintage to vintage, members see those first, too.

Tastings, on us

Your seat is always kept

Every membership carries complimentary tastings at our rooms in Carmel-by-the-Sea and Monterey: two, four, or six a year by tier, plus thirty percent off every tasting beyond them.

And members always hold a standing invitation to the estate itself: a tasting on the ridge, a few hundred feet above the vines your wines came from.

Gatherings

A seat at this table

Harvest parties in the vines, release dinners, evenings that only make sense on a mountaintop. Our gatherings are built around members first. When something happens on the ridge, you hear about it before anyone.

How it works

Simple, twice a year

01

Choose your membership

Cuvée Club, Ambassador Membership, or Founder’s Table: three, six, or twelve bottles per allocation.

02

Pick your start

Two rhythms: April & October, or June & December. Pick the one that suits your cellar.

03

Make it yours

Before each allocation ships, you'll hear from us. Keep our selection or customize the bottles.

04

Ship or collect

Have your allocation shipped, or pick it up at a tasting room and make an afternoon of it.

Questions

Good to know

When do allocations arrive?
Twice a year, in either April & October or June & December, your choice at signup. You'll always receive a note from us before anything ships. We deliberately skip the peak-summer months so your wine never rides in a hot truck.
Can I change what's in my shipment?
Yes. Every membership includes a customization window before each allocation, so you can adjust the bottles to your taste.
How do the complimentary tastings work?
Simply tell us you're a member when you visit Carmel-by-the-Sea or Monterey. Your tier carries two, four, or six complimentary tastings a year, and 30% off any beyond that.
Can I visit the estate?
Members always have a standing invitation. Estate tastings on the ridge are reserved ahead. Book any time, and we'll take care of the rest.
What are Beyond the Ridge wines?
Alongside our estate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, we make small specialty lots from vineyards beyond the estate: a Syrah here, a Cabernet there, different with every vintage. Members always get first access before these are offered to anyone else, and quantities are small enough that they often never are.
I have another question.
Write to us at info@albatrossridge.com. A real person answers, usually the one who packs the boxes.
