Refugio Ranch Membership
Our membership is a bit different than others out there. We realize that there are as many palate preferences as there are wines in the world, so we let our members have total freedom to choose their wines.
Each quarter you will be offered exciting new-release wines. You may want these wines, you may not. The choice is yours. In addition to the new releases, we will offer all of the wines in our current lineup so that you can custom-build the wine shipment that best suits your preferences.
You will be notified via email two weeks prior to each shipment so that you may log into your account on our website and build your shipment. It’s that easy!

Membership Policies
Shipments will be sent automatically four times a year. Each shipment will be billed to the credit card provided on your application. If any changes need to be made to the shipping or billing information, those changes are to be made prior to the charge date of each shipment.
- 3 shipments qualify members for benefits. Thereafter, members may cancel any time, and stop shipments simply by notifying us by mail, email, or telephone at least two weeks before the scheduled shipping date. If a membership is not cancelled within the two-week period, the final shipment and charges will proceed as scheduled.
- Refugio Ranch honors discounts and benefits at the time of enrollment as a courtesy to our new members. If membership is cancelled prior to accepting three shipments, a $50 cancelation fee will be assessed.
- Free tastings are offered per individual guest, per visit. For example, if your membership level allows for 4 free tastings/visit, but there are only 2 guests in your party, you will only be given 2 free tastings (rather than each guest receiving 2 tastings).
- Member must be present to receive member benefits and membership is nontransferrable. For example, your sister, cousin or grandfather may not come in and take advantage of your member benefits.
- Refugio Ranch reserves the right to request additional information, reject any application, cancel any membership or change policies and membership benefits listed within this brochure at any time.
- It is federal law that all alcohol deliveries must be signed for by someone 21 years of age or older. The carrier will not leave your wine without this signature, so it is the responsibility of the member to provide us with an address where an adult is reasonably available to sign for and receive wine packages.
- Please inform Refugio Ranch of any changes including shipping address, credit card information, etc., at least two weeks prior to a shipment.
- Unreported changes of address, non-delivery, and forwarding of packages resulting in additional shipping fees will be charged to the member.
- The carrier will attempt to deliver you shipment three times. After the third attempt, the package will be returned to us. If this happens, we will be happy to reship it to you. In this instance, shipping charges will be incurred in addition to a $25 return fee.
- Re-directed or refused shipments are subject to a $25 fee.
We utilize UPS as our default carrier. If another carrier is preferred, please notify us in advance of your shipment.
