How to Buy Col Solare Wines or Join the Collector's Society

Updated

To buy Col Solare wines, use the Shop Our Wines section of colsolare.com. To join the Collector's Society, use the Join The Society link on the same site. Both are the winery's own channels, so you are buying directly rather than through a third-party retailer. The site also has a Subscribe page for updates, which is separate from wine club membership.

Buying wines

Col Solare describes its wines as Cabernet Sauvignon and Red Mountain AVA wines, blending Tuscan winemaking style with Washington terroir. The site's Shop Our Wines entry is the route to current releases.

What to expect:

  • Selection: The site presents its "acclaimed wines" rather than a full catalog with prices on the homepage; specific bottles and pricing appear once you enter the shop.
  • Limited releases: The Collector's Society is described as giving members first access to limited-production releases, which suggests some wines may not be broadly available outside the club.
  • No stated pricing or login requirements: The homepage does not list prices or say whether checkout requires an account, so treat those details as unconfirmed until you reach the shop.

Joining the Collector's Society

The Collector's Society is Col Solare's wine club. According to the site, members receive:

  • Exclusive, first access to limited-production releases
  • Experiences connected to the winery

Use the Join The Society link to start. The site does not publish membership fees, minimum purchase commitments, or shipping terms on the homepage, so review those on the sign-up page before committing.

Is membership worth it?

Staying informed without joining

The site's Subscribe entry is for updates and is not the same as club membership. If you are not ready to join the Collector's Society but want to hear about releases, this is the lower-commitment option.

Visiting the estate

Col Solare invites visitors to its Red Mountain estate in Washington wine country. The site frames a visit as a continuation of Italian tradition at the "shining hill" in the heart of Washington's wine country. Use Plan Your Experience to arrange a visit; the homepage does not list tour times, tasting fees, or reservation requirements, so confirm those through that page.

Practical notes

  • Buy direct: The shop and club links are on colsolare.com itself, so you avoid reseller markups and can access club-only releases.
  • Check the sign-up page for terms: Membership cost, shipping, and cancellation details are not stated on the homepage.
  • Background: Col Solare is a partnership between Washington's Red Mountain AVA and Tuscany's Marchesi Antinori family, with Marchese Piero Antinori cited as a 25th-generation winemaker. The project dates to 1995.
