Member benefits
More than a discount.
Membership opens doors that go well beyond a percentage off. Here's what being part of the MWS community looks like:
Quarterly wine allocation
Receive a curated selection of 100ml wine vials each quarter, shipped to your door. Wines you won't find in our public classes.
Member-only tastings
Twice a year we open the school cellar for members. Treasured last bottles, special wines and a relaxed evening with fellow enthusiasts.
A birthday gift
On your birthday each year, we send you a gift to spend on whatever you like: a bottle from our cellar, a seat at a tasting, or a course.
WhatsApp community
Join a private group of fellow members and MWS educators. Ask questions, share finds, get recommendations.
Education materials
Access to MWS tasting notes, study guides and wine resources to deepen your knowledge between events and courses.
Course and event discounts
5% or 10% off tastings and masterclasses depending on your tier, plus savings on MWS Cellar wine and vials for Village and Premier members. Applies automatically at checkout.
Quarterly wine allocation
Wines delivered to your door. Every quarter.
Village and Premier members receive a curated selection of 100ml wine vials shipped quarterly, on or around 15 January, 15 April, 15 July and 15 October each year. Each vial is chosen by Andy and accompanied by tasting notes so you know exactly what you're drinking and why.
Prefer to pick up in person? No problem: collect your allocation at the school at a time that suits you.
