7. Exclusive FREE VIP Wine Cavé in the Vintage House Restaurant
VIPs can purchase wines from the Tasting Room and we'll store them in your Wine Cavé in The Vintage House Restaurant at no charge...up to
twelve bottles. When you wish to have a wine at lunch or dinner, simply ask your server to pull the wine from your private stash. ($4 corkage per bottle).
You save 20% on the wine purchase and your wine preference is always available. (Since the space is limited, the VIP Cavé is on a
first come-first served basis.)

8. Guaranteed Invitation to Every Winery Activity
VIP Club Members will receive a personal invitation to every activity here at the winery, even if that activity isn't exclusive to VIPs.
That means that you'll know about every tasting panel, every wine shootout, every blending lab...every everything.
After all, you can't attend if you don't know. Now, you'll know.

9. First Choice on New Release Wines
VIPs will have first choice of Messina Hof's newest releases...before they are available to the public.
So, even if a wine is difficult to find for the general public, it's readily available for a VIP.
Some wines - like our Single-Vineyard Estate Bottled Rieslings and Pinot Noirs - are ONLY available at the winery.

Initial Membership is Low Cost & So Is the Renewal
The initial membership is only $100 for two people. Annual membership renewal is just $50. So, even if you drink only a few bottles of wine each year or give a few memorable wines as gifts, your VIP 20% discount actually pays for your membership.
The other discounts are...well, just extra benefits.

VIPs Could Become A Messina Hof Ambassador and a Tasting Panelist
Ambassadors represent Messina Hof at a variety of wine and food events around Texas.
Although you'll be talking and pouring wines, you'll also be having a great time.
Tasting Panelists will attend free tasting panels and help Messina Hof's Winemaker with the nuances of blending great wines.
