PICKUP PARTIES
Share the pleasures of our table with fellow wine club members
Pickup Parties
We craft exceptional wines, create recipes to perfectly pair with them, and select cheeses from villages around the world to enhance the experience.Each new wine release is paired with fresh cheese and a unique recipe, and these form the quarterly shipments to our Wine Club members.
Every quarter, we host a series of Pickup Parties—complimentary for all Wine Club members. These events feature several new wines and recipes, served in a seated lunch party setting.
While these parties are open to all members, most of our local members attend to pick up their wine shipment—hence the name "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.
