Wine Club Membership
How does the Taste Hungary Wine Club work? What do I get as a member of the club?
As a member you’ll get a curated collection of three wines shipped to you every month. Each shipment comes with our educational packet, which includes tasting notes, information about the regions, a recipe, and other information to help you learn about the wines, varietals, and regions.
We hope the wine inspires you to travel to Hungary to taste it (and other wines) from the source! Current club members will receive a 20 percent discount on all of our tours and wine tastings in Hungary.
There are no membership fees, and no commitment. You only pay the recurring subscription fee for the monthly wine shipments.
How do you choose the wine in each shipment?
Our team of sommeliers and wine professionals in Budapest choose the wines. We’ve been active in wine for more than a decade in Hungary. We spend lots of time researching and, organizing tours, running tastings, and selling wine at The Tasting Table Budapest. During this time we’ve met with so many small wine producers who sell affordable, unique, and high-quality wines, and we will continue to do so!
Are there membership fees? What’s the commitment?
There are no membership fees, and no commitment. When you sign up for a membership we will continue to send you a box of three wines every month until you cancel your membership. Your credit card will be automatically charged monthly. You can cancel at any time before the next charge to discontinue your membership.
