You are cordially invited to join our very small circle of fellow wine enthusiasts that we call our…

Founders Club

Honestly, this isn’t much different than any other wine club. But you will receive mostly new vintages of our Markus Wine Co. wines as they are released in spring and in the fall – two shipments a year – with no repeats.

Each shipment consists of 4 bottles priced from $25 to $41, for a total shipment cost usually under $120, plus any tax and $30 flat-rate shipping, all at a Founders 20% discount that you may also use throughout the year to order our wines. If you don’t like what we have selected for the shipment, you may select from our other wines instead.

We very rarely offer this discount to anyone else.

Sometimes we include a small gift of something like loose leaf tea or a wine accessory that Markus is particularly fond of at no charge. And when we can, we’ll invite you to member get togethers where Markus pours special wines.

We invite you to join our club now, by clicking on this hard-to-read Join Club button:

We look forward to continuing to get Markus wines in your glass!

Cheers!

– The Markus Team

Frequently Asked Questions

Which wines were in the most-recent shipment?
These were our selections:

You can see details about each wine by clicking on the wine’s name. And note that members can completely change the wines in the shipment through their online account.

Can I have wines shipped to my home?
Yes, of course! Remember that state laws require all wine shipments be signed for by someone who is 21 years or older. These shipments often arrive during the day, and we therefore strongly recommended that you have us ship your wine to a business address. Note that as of October 2026, we can only ship to Arizona, California, Washington D.C., Florida, Minnesota, Nevada, Oregon, Texas and Washington.

Do you have a Tasting Room?
Not yet. And probably not very soon.

Can I pick up my wine?
Without a tasting room, that’s a bit tricky. In some situations, we can make special arrangements.

Can I try the wines before buying?
We have some opportunities to pour our wines in public events coming up. That’s a great reason to join our club or sign up for our mailing list!

Where can I buy your wine?
Only in California for now in our own hometown of Lodi. Some of our wines are available at the Americana House Restaurant at Wine & Roses in Lodi, as well as the Lodi Visitor Center on Turner Road near Lower Sacramento Road. (Ask your favorite restaurant or shop to stock us!)

How can I use my club discount when ordering on your website?
Once you are a member, your discount will be put into our system for future reorders.

Can I skip a shipment?
Yes! We realize there actually is such a thing as a full cellar. Just log in to your online account, scroll down and hit the Adjust or Edit button in the Club Memberships box then click the “Skip this package” or “Put your club on hold” link.

How do I cancel the club?
Just send an email to Founders@MarkusWine.com letting us know, or easily cancel at this site through your account. Of course we’ll be sad to see you leave, but we all get too much wine at one time or another! We will double-check with you to see if you still want to be on our email list. And it would be nice to know why you’d like to stop. Remember that it’s easy to just put your membership on hold for as long as you want.

Thanks for looking through all of these!
