YOU AREN’T LOOKING FOR A WINE CLUB
YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A FAMILY TO BELONG TO
Friend,
We Live By A Creed As a Family
We live to honor those that have come before us and prepare the way for those yet to come.
That is what this is…..
Before you join, there is something you should know.
We are not trying to build the biggest
“Wine club in America.”
We're trying to build something worth passing down.
Every vineyard row has fingerprints on it.
Every bottle has a story behind it.
Every allocation represents another season we were blessed enough to farm.
If you join the FAMILY,
you're not buying wine.
You're helping a family continue doing work they love.
Three Generations - 100% Estate Grown
From Our Plow To Your Porch™.
Welcome Home.
I AM NOT TALKING YOU OUT OF ANYTHING,
BUT,
BEFORE YOU JOIN, YOU SHOULD PROBABLY WATCH THIS
and see what you are getting into.
Most wineries create wine clubs to sell more wine.
We created ours because people kept asking how they could,
stay connected after visiting..
Today, our FAMILY MEMBERS are spread across the country,
but every shipment still comes from the same family farm
in the heart of the Santa Ynez Valley.
Not a family winery.
Not a wine company.
Not a wine brand.
A family that grows wine.
YES,
We planted it.
We still grow it.
We harvest it ourselves.
We make it ourselves.
Design the Bottles Ourselves,
We still pack it.
We still ship it.
I made that Video Myself
I even wrote this and built the website.
No middlemen.
No corporate ownership.
Just US
cut hands and all.
Honestly,
We are a Glorified Farmstand.
STILL INTERESTED?

WE ARE TOO SMALL TO FAIL.
Most wineries are trying to get bigger.
We're trying to get better.
Better farming.
Better wine.
Better hospitality.
Better stories.
The goal isn't to become the largest winery in California.
The goal is to become your favorite.

WHY PEOPLE STAY
The Average Family Member has Been in our Family
7.8 YEARS…….
That is the AVE.
We still have 40% of the people who signed up 18 Years Ago…
Not why they join.
Why they stay.
"This is not a typical wine club... you are truly made to feel you are part of something more, a family."
That is not the Goal - That is the Standard.
BEFORE YOU JOIN
If you're looking for the cheapest wine club in America, this probably isn't it.
If you're looking for coupons, discounts, and reward points, this probably isn't the place.
If you're looking for a family farm that still answers the phone, still walks the vineyard every Single Day, still signs cards by hand, and still believes wine is about community..
and still believes wine is about people more than products...
Welcome home.
We've saved you a seat.
WINE CLUBS ARE DUMB.
So We Didn’t Make One.
We Built a Family.
Most “wine clubs” feel like a clearance rack. You pay in, they send you whatever they’re overstocked on, toss in a discount, and call it a day. Thanks?
It’s like Christmas morning when you almost got what you wanted. Close… but still a letdown.
We decided—never. Not here.
We want to be that cool uncle who doesn’t just get you the BB gun—you get the one with the scope and night vision. You wanted a puppy? Sorry, kid… here’s a lion.
What Makes This Different
Your wine is pulled and protected for the whole year.
It’s not a maybe, not a hope, not “if there’s any left.” The moment you join, your bottles are spoken for. Allocated. Set aside. Waiting patiently with your name practically Sharpied on every cork.
We won’t sell it out from under you.
Not for more money. Not for the sweet-talking couple in the tasting room. Not for anyone. To the outside world, it’s Sold Out. To us, it’s Yours.
We don’t charge until it ships.
We’re farmers, not bankers. We don’t believe in holding your money hostage while we play warehouse games. When the wine’s ready to come home, that’s when we charge.
You get more than you expect.
The last allocation? Over $400 worth of wine. Our Family? Paid $126. That’s not a typo. That’s the way Grandpa raised us: Under-promise. Over-deliver. Always.
We make it personal.
Every allocation comes with a film made by us, about your wines. Why these bottles exist. The stories behind them. The people on the label. The dirt they came from. The love that went into them. It’s not just wine—it’s memory, meaning, and a little piece of us bottled for you.
The Extras (Because Family Gets More)
Yes, you also get perks. Real ones.
You get a discount on every online order and every bottle in the tasting room.
You get free tastings for you +3 guests. Every time. Come in with friends, bring the cousins, roll in with out-of-towners—you’re covered.
And here’s the thing: if you swing by a couple times a year to pick up your wines and bring a few friends with you… the free tastings alone basically paid for your allocation. That’s not marketing spin—that’s math that works in your favor.
Want to be a Pick-Up Member?
We’ll hold all your wines until you’re ready. Safe, secure, tucked away like they’re in Fort Knox. Then you come up for a weekend in Los Olivos, hang out in wine country, and leave with a perfectly cellared stash. In the meantime, we’re basically your personal wine fridge—without the electricity bill.
Choose Your Level
3 Bottles = Acquaintance. We wave across the street. We know your dog’s name. You’re in the circle, but still circling.
6 Bottles = Friend. You’re at the backyard BBQ. You’ve got a chair at the table, and someone saved you a cupcake.
12 Bottles = FAMILY. Capital F. Ride-or-die. You don’t knock when you come over. You get a row in the vineyard named after you. Forever.
Why We Do This
Because this isn’t about transactions. It’s about trust.
Every single perk, every bottle, every tasting—it’s all because people in this FAMILY are the bedrock of our little farm. You aren’t “customers.” You’re the reason we get to do this at all. And we don’t take that lightly.
We work for you. And we’ll do everything we can to make you proud you chose us.
Join the Family Wine Club — FAQ
1. Why do people say the Saarloos & Sons Family Allocation is one of the best wine clubs?
Because it’s not a club — it’s family. Every bottle we send out is a mile marker in our life, not just a product. We farm the grapes, we pick them, we make the wine, we design the labels — and then we share them with you. Our members tell us it’s the best wine club in California because they don’t feel like customers. They feel like cousins who show up to Sunday dinner and leave with wine in their arms. Many also call it the best wine club in Santa Ynez Valley because it’s rooted in this place and built on connection.
2. What makes the Family Allocation different from other wine clubs?
Most clubs are built around discounts and shipping schedules. Ours is built around stories. Each allocation is a chapter in the Saarloos family book. The Mischief, the Honyocker, the Grit — these wines aren’t marketing terms, they’re people we love and memories we hold. All of them are estate-grown wines from the Ballard Canyon AVA in Santa Ynez Valley. Joining means you get the story in the bottle, the label, the email, and the video — all connected. It’s liquid history you can drink, and it makes us one of the most exclusive wine clubs in Los Olivos.
3. How often do I receive wine?
We ship four allocations a year — timed to the rhythm of the vineyard. Spring, Summer, Harvest, and Winter. Think of it like seasons of a show you can’t wait to binge. Each drop carries small-lot, limited-production wines that are estate-grown in the Santa Ynez Valley and usually gone before the next season rolls around.
4. What types of wine do members receive?
Whatever the vineyard gives us, and whatever story our family is living at that moment. Grenache Noir, Syrah, Sauvignon Blanc, Petit Verdot — each allocation is different because each chapter of life is different. You’re not buying “red or white.” You’re joining a family wine club that shares the reality of farming, weather, and legacy in the Los Olivos wine country. The wines are the record of that truth.
5. Do I get access to exclusive wines?
Yes. Most of our wines never see a store shelf. If you’re in the Family Allocation, you get first access. Many bottles sell out before they’re even listed on our site or poured in our Los Olivos tasting room. That’s not marketing scarcity — it’s reality when you only make what your own vines give you.
6. Is there a discount for joining?
We don’t do discounts. We do devotion. The price you pay is the same one we put on the bottle for ourselves, because we believe in one honest price for family. What you get instead of “15% off” is access, experience, and connection you can’t buy anywhere else. That’s why people call us the wine club that feels like family.
7. What else comes with the wine?
Stories. Videos. Vineyard tours in Los Olivos. Handshakes. Sometimes tears. When you open a box from us, you’re opening a box of our life. Each label is a photograph or a memory. Each email is part of the book we’re writing. Each bottle is meant to be shared at a table with people you care about. It’s more than wine delivery — it’s heritage and legacy in a bottle.
8. What if I live far away?
We ship nationwide — from our plow to your porch. If you can’t come walk the rows, we’ll still put you there through the stories, the photos, the labels, and the wine itself. And if you do make it to Los Olivos, California, you’ll be greeted like family we’ve known forever. Many say we’re the best wine club for people who want a direct connection to Santa Ynez Valley wine country, no matter where they live.
9. Can I customize what I receive?
Not really — and that’s the beauty of it. We don’t make wine to fill a spreadsheet. We make what the land gives us. When you join, you’re trusting us to farm, to blend, to bottle, and to share what’s real. And when you open it, you’ll understand why. It’s how a family-run, estate-grown wine club is supposed to work — honest, direct, and true to the land.
10. What do members say about the experience?
They use words like family, authentic, unforgettable. One member wrote: “The only club where the wine tastes like love and legacy in a bottle.” Another told us: “It’s not wine delivery. It’s a love letter four times a year.” Others call it the best wine club in Santa Ynez Valley because it combines exclusive wines, vineyard tours, and family connection. It’s a highly rated wine club because it delivers more than bottles — it delivers belonging.
