For many wine clubs, the relationship begins and ends with a bottle arriving at your door. At Cooper’s Hawk Winery & Restaurants, the experience is designed to go much further, connecting members to the restaurant, the wine, and a community of fellow enthusiasts long after the last glass is poured.

Built around the idea that great wine should enhance memorable dining experiences, the Cooper’s Hawk Wine Club has become one of the largest restaurant-based wine clubs in the United States. The program offers members exclusive wines, monthly tastings, dining rewards, special events, and immersive travel experiences that make every visit feel like part of something bigger. Whether members are enjoying a tasting at their local restaurant, picking up their monthly selection, or recreating a favorite food-and-wine pairing at home, the club is designed to extend the Cooper’s Hawk experience beyond the dining room.

From Vineyard Partners to Illinois Winemaking

Unlike traditional wine subscriptions that simply deliver bottles each month, Cooper’s Hawk has built its Wine Club as an extension of its hospitality philosophy. Every aspect of the program is designed to make wine approachable, enjoyable, and seamlessly connected to the dining experience.

A key differentiator is Cooper’s Hawk’s approach to sourcing and production. The winery partners with growers from renowned wine regions around the world who prioritize high-quality fruit, while every wine is crafted at the company’s Illinois winery. This global sourcing strategy allows the winemaking team to produce wines tailored to a wide range of palates while ensuring each bottle is designed to complement the restaurant’s culinary offerings. The result is a portfolio that appeals to both casual wine drinkers and guests looking to expand their wine knowledge through approachable, food-friendly selections.

A Flexible Membership for Every Wine Drinker

One of the program’s greatest strengths is its flexibility. Members can personalize their experience by selecting one-, two-, or three-bottle monthly memberships, along with a wine preference that best suits their tastes:

• Variety
• Red
• White
• Sweet

Members can conveniently pick up their wines during restaurant visits or choose quarterly shipping in eligible states, allowing them to enjoy the experience whether they dine frequently or primarily enjoy Cooper’s Hawk wines at home.

Membership pricing begins at approximately $24.49 per month for most one-bottle plans, while the Sweet Club starts at around $19.99 per month. Among the available options, the two- and three-bottle memberships remain especially popular because they include monthly wine tastings for two, transforming each pickup into another opportunity to gather, taste, and explore.

Beyond the Bottle

While exclusive monthly wines are at the heart of the program, the membership experience extends far beyond the bottle.

Depending on their membership tier, Wine Club members enjoy benefits that include:

• Exclusive Wine of the Month selections
• Monthly wine tastings for two
• Birthday rewards
• Dining reward points
• Discounts on wine purchases and carryout
• Invitations to exclusive wine-pairing dinners
• Sommelier-led educational events
• “Friends of Cooper’s Hawk” experiences
• Curated wine-region travel opportunities

The club’s in-store tasting rooms have become one of its signature features, allowing members to sample new releases before taking home their monthly selections. For many guests, the monthly tasting has evolved into a standing date night, family tradition, or social gathering, making wine discovery feel approachable while strengthening the connection between the restaurant and its guests.

Creating a Community Through Wine

What truly distinguishes the Cooper’s Hawk Wine Club is the community it has cultivated. Rather than focusing solely on wine purchases, the program encourages members to engage with the brand through shared experiences.

From casual tastings and wine dinners to educational seminars, members have opportunities to deepen their appreciation for wine while connecting with fellow enthusiasts. The combination of hospitality, education, and consistency has helped transform the Wine Club from a subscription into a lifestyle for many longtime members.

Experiences Beyond the Bottle

Travel has become another defining element of the Cooper’s Hawk experience. Through curated trips and exclusive excursions, members have explored some of the world’s most celebrated wine regions alongside industry experts.

Past adventures have included guided journeys through Paris, Burgundy, and Champagne with Master Sommelier Emily Wines, as well as a Caribbean cruise celebrating Cooper’s Hawk’s 20th Anniversary in 2025. These experiences reflect the company’s commitment to making wine not only accessible but memorable, creating opportunities for members to immerse themselves in the cultures, history, and traditions behind every bottle.

Bringing the Cooper’s Hawk Experience Home

At its core, the Cooper’s Hawk Wine Club is built on the belief that wine is best enjoyed as part of a larger experience. By combining globally sourced wines, chef-inspired pairings, monthly tastings, dining rewards, exclusive events, and unforgettable travel opportunities, Cooper’s Hawk has created a membership that extends well beyond the restaurant.

Rather than simply delivering wine each month, the club gives members a reason to return, discover something new, and create lasting memories around the table. Whether visiting for a tasting, gathering with friends over dinner, or uncorking the month’s featured selection at home, members aren’t just enjoying a bottle of wine, they’re bringing a piece of the Cooper’s Hawk experience with them.
