The Professors' Club
A more thoughtful wine club experience, and a deeper connection to Māori Point.
The Professors’ Club is our way of sharing the best of Māori Point with the people who love our wines most. Whether you prefer to sit back and Trust the Winemaker with a quarterly box including hand-picked reserve releases and library vintages, or take total control with Member’s Choice to build your custom mix, you’ll enjoy exclusive savings, barrel hall events, and free tastings whenever you visit the vineyard.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I access my member discounts online and at the cellar door?
It's easy! Enter your email address at our member login page. Your club discount will automatically apply to any wine orders whenever you are logged in. At the cellar door, just let our team know you're a Professors' Club member and we'll apply your pricing at checkout.
How do I manage my quarterly orders?
Logging into your account gives you full access to your personal wine club dashboard. From there, you can adjust upcoming shipments, update your delivery address, swap bottles (for Member's Choice), or pause deliveries anytime.
When will my card be charged?
Shipments process quarterly on 1 February, 1 May, 1 August, and 1 November. You'll always receive an email reminder prior to each charge, giving you plenty of time to adjust your selection, update address details, or pause if needed.
How does local pickup work?
If you select vineyard pickup at checkout, we'll notify you as soon as your quarterly pack is ready. You can collect it anytime during our normal cellar door hours, drop in during our Friday night Happy Hours, or email us to arrange a pickup time that suits you best. Best of all, enjoy a complimentary glass of wine on us whenever you collect!
