Free shippingArrives in 5 to 7 business days
A monthly wine tour in a box. Your tour starts in the U.S., and from there each month we'll take you to a new region somewhere in the world: a case of small-producer, low-intervention bottles, with the story of every place.
Your first case arrives with a welcome kit: two wine glasses, a corkscrew, tasting cards, and a bonus bottle from a different region. Pick your case size and keep travelling. Free shipping; switch, skip, or cancel anytime.
What makes us different
Your rotation has narrowed to the same five bottles.
- You buy the wines you already know are fine, because the alternative is a gamble
- Your local shop has maybe five things left you haven't tried
- Half the “boutique” labels on the shelf belong to conglomerates
- You've paid $40 for a bottle you didn't finish
You don't need more options. You need someone to taste them first.

Start in one place. Taste the whole world.
We built the Wine of the World tour because the best bottles almost never reach your local shelf: the small growers, the native grapes, the wines made with nothing added. So we go region by region, around the world, and bring them to you with the story of every place. You choose where to begin; we'll be your guide for the rest.

Just a taste. Your tour isn't limited to these. We'll pour from all over the world. Hover or tap any point to see what's in the glass.

Start my wine tourFive reasons members stay
Small-production wine, chosen for your taste, with nothing to lose.
Reason 1You stop drinking the same five bottles
The supermarket funnels everyone toward the same dozen labels. Every box brings eight bottles from growers you'd never have found on your own, so your rotation actually grows instead of shrinking.
Reason 2You can check our work
Every bottle arrives with the grower's name, the region, and how many cases they made that year. Nothing hides behind a pretty label, so you can look up every producer we send.
Reason 3You're not paying for shelf competition
Big brands bake the cost of winning shelf space into every bottle. We buy straight from small estates, so your money goes into what's in the glass instead of the marketing behind it.
Reason 4Every bottle is tasted before it ships
Nothing goes in a box until the same buyers who chose it have tasted it. If a bottle doesn't earn its place, it doesn't ship, so there are no fillers and no favors.
Reason 5Leaving is one click
Skip a month, swap a case, or cancel from your account in a single click. No fee, no phone call, and no retention script waiting on the other end.

Questions, answered.
How does the wine tour work?
You pick where your tour starts — the U.S., France, or Italy. From there, every box brings eight wines from a different region somewhere in the world, with the story of the place. Your first box includes a free welcome kit, and a bonus bottle rides along in each of your first three. After that it's a new region every box, and you can skip, swap, or cancel in one click.
Can I switch it up?
Anytime. Skip a box, swap the wine type, or cancel, all from your account in one click. No fee, no phone call.
Can I skip, pause, or cancel?
Anytime, in one click. No restocking fee, no phone call, no retention script. Skip a box, push the next one back, or cancel outright.
What wine will I get?
Each box comes from that region: always small-producer, organic or low-intervention where possible, and chosen for dry, food-friendly drinking. Tasting cards name the producer, the region and how many cases they made, so you can check our work. The exact lineup is part of the discovery.
When does my case ship?
Boxes are curated and shipped at the start of each month. You'll always get a heads-up before payment so you have time to skip or swap.
Is shipping included?
Yes, free shipping on every box, always.
