Postino Wine Cult is a quarterly wine subscription created by Postino WineCafe that provides its members with four trusted, delicious wines each quarter (“Cult Box”) in addition to select Member Perks only available to Wine Cult members that can be redeemed at any Postino WineCafe location.

Whether in-restaurant or online, prospective Wine Cult members need to complete the registration form.

Your perks start within 24 hours of signing up. You’ll receive an email regarding access to your $50 at Postino and additional Member Perks. Your first Cult Box will be available at the beginning of the next quarter. Members may have the ability to purchase the current or past Cult Box, if inventory is available, at the Wine Cult member price of $60, plus applicable tax.

If you cancel your membership, your perks expire at the end of the last quarter for which you have made payment. For example: (a) for quarterly members, if you sign up on Oct 27, your perks will expire Dec 31; for annual members, if you sign up on Oct 27, your perks will expire Dec 31 of the following year. Memberships will continue until canceled.
