Welcome to
Atlas Wine & Travel
Atlas Wine Club
This is where the world of wine unfolds in a vibrant blend of knowledge, camaraderie, and unforgettable experiences. Our club is designed for individuals seeking to elevate their understanding and enjoyment of wine, all within a welcoming and non-judgmental atmosphere.
Monthly Gatherings
Immerse yourself in the world of wine at our monthly gatherings, hosted in unique and central locations within your city. These curated events take place on alternating Tuesday-Thursday evenings from 6-8pm typically during the last week of the month. You’ll be notified of the date approximately a month before the event and the venue no less than a week before the tasting, adding an element of excitement and anticipation to your wine adventures.
Tasting Flights and Light Appetizers
Savor a diverse selection of wines from around the globe, spanning various value ranges. Each gathering features a thoughtfully crafted tasting flight accompanied by light appetizers, creating the perfect setting for exploration of pairings.
Educational Experience Exclusive and Intimate
Deepen your wine knowledge with brief "wine lessons" during each gathering. Our aim is to enhance your understanding and appreciation of the wines we explore together, making each tasting a journey of discovery. To foster connections and friendships, the Atlas Wine Club is limited to 30 members per city during its inaugural launch by invitation only. This intentional exclusivity ensures an intimate group dynamic, allowing members to engage on a personal level with fellow wine enthusiasts and explore a variety of venues.
No wine sales or pitches
Our gatherings are focused on education and friendship, and as such, there won't be any wine sales at the tasting or sales pitches. This commitment ensures a genuine and enriching experience for all members. Club members will be given the first option at any wine/travel excursions curated by the host.
Founding Members' After 7/1/2024
For our inaugural launch, founding members have the exclusive opportunity to join the Atlas Wine Club at the special rate of $60.00 per month for a 12-month membership. As a member, you'll enjoy monthly tastings included in your membership. If life gets busy and you can't make it for a month or two, don't worry—we've got you covered with a guest pass for any missed tastings. Use it to bring a friend to a future tasting during another month. Additional guest passes available for certain tastings.
Join us for the launch of the Atlas Wine Club, where every sip is an opportunity to learn, connect, and savor the beauty of wine in good company. Cheers to a journey that transcends borders and uncorks the world of possibilities!
