PICKUP PARTIES
Share the pleasures of our table with fellow wine club members
Pickup Parties
We make wine, we create recipes to pair with our wines and we pair cheeses from villages around the world with our wines.Each new release of a wine, paired with new cheese and a new recipe, comprise the quarterly shipments to our wine club members.
Every quarter we host a series of parties, complimentary for our Wine Club Members, incorporating several of the new wines and recipes in a seated, lunch party setting.
The parties are complimentary to all members but mostly locals come to pickup their wine shipment, hence "Pickup Parties".
Come to a Party
Choose either a morning or afternoon session held on Saturdays, Sundays, Wednesdays and Thursdays in February, May, October & December at Bill's Cellar, 18 Matheson Street, Healdsburg. The courtesy of an RSVP is requested. ▲

Occasionally Wine Club Members will RSVP and then not turn up, without good reason. We held their table, prepared food and denied other members from booking that table so they may be billed a naughty no-show fee of $35 each. ▲

You may also invite guests to join you at the Pickup Party at $35 per person with a maximum of four guests per party.
If we don't hear from you we will make multiple attempts to contact you via email and phone.
If we cannot contact you after 30 days your wine is packed and stored, waiting for your next visit.
If you come into any of our facilities to pickup your wines within sixty (60) days of the billing date you can substitute for other wines of equal of greater value.
Wines that have been billed for more than sixty days cannot be returned to our inventory and so cannot be substituted.
If we don't hear from you we will make multiple attempts to contact you via email and phone, however the cheese was purchased especially for your cheese club order and it has a limited shelf life.
If we cannot contact each other within 30 days we will have to consider your cheese abandoned and dispose of it. In this case no credit is available.
At a Pickup Party every table is occupied by members who are happy to be in the company of fellow members who enjoy the same wine and food benefits of their membership.
If we made this same offer to non-members then it is no longer a special membership privilege so imagine how all the other members at the party might feel.
For this reason you cannot gift a Pickup Party, however we do offer a similar event every day as Lunch at Epicurean Kitchen that a member can gift to their friends and still receive their member discount.
