How to Buy Sumner Crest Wine or Join the Wine Club
Updated
You can buy Sumner Crest wine in two ways: order it for shipping through the winery's online shop, or visit the tasting room at 5306 S Old Hwy 52, Portland, TN 37148. To join the wine club, use the "Join our Wine Club!" link on the site. The site also says to follow its social media accounts for discount codes when they're offered. The winery does not publish club pricing, membership tiers, or shipping costs on the page, so confirm those details with staff before committing.
Buying Wine Online
The site's navigation includes a "Shop now" link and a line stating "We ship wine," so direct shipping orders are the intended online path.
- Open the winery website and select Shop now.
- Choose the wines you want and complete checkout.
- Expect the order to ship rather than be held for pickup, based on the site's shipping statement.
Before ordering, check two things the page doesn't answer: which states the winery ships to, and what shipping charges and delivery times apply. These are regulated and vary by destination, so ask by phone at 615-325-4086 or email [email protected].
Buying in Person at the Tasting Room
The tasting room is described as a 1900s-era space offering food, wine, gifts, and events, and friendly, leashed pets are welcome. Current hours:
| Day | Hours |
|---|---|
| Monday – Thursday | 10am – 6pm |
| Friday & Saturday | 9am – 7pm |
| Sunday | 11am – 5pm |
If you're making a special trip, call ahead to confirm holiday hours and whether a particular wine is in stock.
Joining the Wine Club
The homepage promotes a wine club with a "Join our Wine Club!" call to action, and the winery's story notes it manages a club of more than 250 people. That scale suggests an established program, but the page doesn't list dues, shipment frequency, included bottles, or member perks. To join, use the club link on the site, then ask staff to walk you through the commitment terms before you sign up — particularly how often you'll be billed and whether you can pause or cancel.
Food and Gifts While You're There
The Grape Vine Grab 'n Go deli is open every day and uses freshly made, locally sourced ingredients. Offerings include chicken salad, pimento cheeses, specialty salads, and rotating seasonal items. "Board Bites" — a seasonal hors d'oeuvre spread serving two, with a locally hand-carved cutting board to keep — are typically a weekend item available until sell-out.
The gift shop is described as one of the largest winery gift shops in Tennessee, which makes it a practical stop if your goal is a gift rather than wine for yourself. The site also points to social media for discount codes when applicable, so check those accounts before a gift-shop purchase.
A Quick Decision Guide
- Want wine shipped to you: start with the online shop, but confirm your state is eligible first.
- Want to taste before buying or pair wine with food: visit the tasting room during the hours above.
- Want recurring bottles or member perks: use the wine club link and get the terms in writing from staff.
- Shopping for someone else: the gift shop plus any active social media discount code is the simplest route.
