FAQ

We have provided answers to some of the most frequently asked questions below, and are always happy to offer our personal assistance seven days a week, 8 a.m.– 4 p.m. Pacific.

Membership

    Full members enjoy twice annual shipments of highly rare, and often exclusively offered wines — selected specifically for our members and curated for your chosen tier of membership. All members enjoy:

    • Access to our ever-evolving, private marketplace stocked with rare and distinctive bottles  
    • Access to limited-time offerings—roughly three per month 
    • Private sommelier service via text, phone, or email to support all wine related queries and personalized sourcing requests
    • Invitations to private, in-person tastings and dinners
    • Exclusive access to our library of interviews, writings, and conversations on wine 
    • Free shipping on all purchases of 6 bottles or more 
    You will find out which wines are included in your shipment when it arrives on your doorstep! There are so few opportunities these days for real anticipation and surprise…it is our hope that this membership might be a bastion of both. Each box contains a carefully calibrated selection of all-too-limited bottlings we are lucky enough to secure (often exclusively) for the purposes of sharing with you.
    In short: no. While the two bottle per month tiers allow us to occasionally highlight two selections from the work of one producer, each individual bottle is unique. We relish the opportunity to share a breadth and depth of bottlings with these members.
    We’ll never include any wine that demands to be drunk right away or demands to be cellared for 10 years. Nearly all wines will be cellar-worthy, and we may occasionally include a wine that could benefit from a few more years in bottle; however one of the benefits of membership is receiving wines that have been cellared on your behalf and are ready to have their corks pulled.

Billing

    Membership charges occur automatically each month, on the day of your signup. If you would like to change your payment method, you may do so in your account, or by reaching out to us.

    You may change membership tier at any time. We will need to make the adjustment for you (and are happy to do so). Please email membership@yes-society.com and we will assist.

    Similarly, while we hope you find ample reasons to stay, you may cancel your membership at any point.

    For Full Membership members, in-cycle cancellations will result in the bottle quantity within your final box being pro-rated to the number of monthly charges you've incurred. For example, should you choose to cancel five months into the bi-annual cycle, your final box will contain either 5 or 10 bottles of wine (for 12-bottle and 24-bottle members respectively).

    For Limited Armonía members, you are free to cancel at any point. Upon cancellation, Armonía members will retain access/membership through the end of the 12-month period.

Shipping & Delivery

    Membership boxes are shipped twice annually, around April and October, weather permitting.

    Marketplace and Offering purchases are shipped as soon as possible, weather permitting. Holds are automatically placed on orders placed during Summer and Winter months. Please note, that many Offerings are available for pre-sale—estimated arrival dates for these wines will be conveyed on respective product pages, though these dates are subject to shift.

    To preserve the integrity of the wines, we ship when the weather is safely above freezing and below 75 degrees Fahrenheit. Based on your location, we will pre-schedule shipping dates in the spring and fall based on historical temperatures. The majority of shipments will arrive in April and October; however, if the weather in your area is unseasonable, we will hold the wines to avoid any potential damage during transport. Once the ship date is official, you will receive a confirmation email and expected arrival date.

    Should you need to change the scheduled shipping date, we are happy to arrange a new arrival that suits your schedule and the weather.
    If your address changes or if you would like to change the delivery location at any point prior to shipment, simply reach out to us and we will happily make the adjustment for you.
    The cost of shipping Yes Society Full Membership wines is included in your subscription charge each month. The only additional cost is taxes, which are unique to each state. Please reach out to us if you would like a quote based on your shipping state. For offerings or marketplace wines, shipping is complementary for orders of 6+ bottles. All other shipping charges will be reflected at checkout.
    We currently offer door-to-door shipping to most states, with the exception of Utah, Mississippi, and Arkansas.
    The size of your first shipment will be determined by the month you join; for example, if you join in January, you will receive the February and March wines in your first shipment, which will be sent in April. All other shipments will be half of your annual membership quantity, either six or twelve bottles.

    If you are interested in procuring additional quantities of a wine you received, reach out and we will happily do our best to find more to add to your cellar. Due to the scarcity of many of these wines, quantities may have limited availability. In that case, we are often able to source a different bottling by the same producer or a similar wine by a comparative producer.
    A guide to the wines in your shipment—including pairing notes—can be found in the "My Collection" section of your account. Our team is always happy to have a conversation via text, phone or email about best pouring, storing, and pairing practices.
