International Wine Club
The Best Way to Send Wine Overseas
When I was a winemaker in California, I tried to buy wine from small NZ producers like Māori Point and was often frustrated by the experience. Even in the best San Francisco wine shops, only a few of the largest NZ wine producers were available. When I looked into having wine shipped directly from smaller, more interesting wineries, the costs were prohibitively expensive. Over the years, I've heard that same frustration from wine lovers in other countries, too.
Here is our solution:
The Māori Point International Wine Club, which makes it simple and affordable for you to get our wines shipped directly to your door in the USA, Australia, Singapore, and Hong Kong. Our export partner has ensured that the pricing you see is all-inclusive - there are no extra charges or hassles for shipping, insurance, customs, or any other fees. Plus, the wine is well-protected in transit.
To be transparent...
Packaging and shipping wine across the world, clearing customs, and delivering it to your door is expensive - in the range of $250 to send a case of wine from NZ to the USA. However, for our International Wine Club members, we absorb 50-100% of that shipping cost by discounting the wine price. That means you can enjoy our wines at roughly the same total price as if you were buying them directly in our Central Otago tasting room.
How does it work?
It's simple: just order wine using one of the links below. There's no membership fee, no rigid commitments, and no unwanted shipments - you order when you want. We hope you'll love our wines enough to order at least once per year. And if you order twice per year, we have something special for you: if you can get to Central Otago, we'll invite you and your friends for a private in-person barrel tasting. Can't make it here? We'll set up a live video tasting just for you - get a few friends together, and we'll guide you through a few of the wines you've ordered. And you can ask us all those wine questions you've always wanted to ask.
Maximise Your Order
To get the best value, your order should fill the 15-bottle international shipping carton. You can include cans too—each bottle slot fits two cans. For example, you could order 12 bottles of Pinot Noir and 6 cans of sparkling gris. At checkout, cans will be counted as bottles (so the total might show as 18 bottles), but don’t worry—the carton will still fit everything perfectly!

These selections are just suggestions from our winemaker to get you started—you’re free to customize your order to suit your tastes. We'll also adjust these selections over time as we release new wines, and to suit the seasons.
Select Your Country and Wine
You can edit your order as you wish. Your order will be processed by us and by our export partner (Wine Collective Direct), and you will receive notification emails and tracking emails from Wine Collective Direct.
