Estate Member Events
All members receive first access and, when applicable, preferred pricing to our flagship celebrations taking place several times during the year. These signature events offer our entire community the opportunity to connect with fellow members over Hamel’s wines, as well as to learn more from the people who made them.
Member Release Celebrations
For every winter, spring and fall wine shipment, members are welcomed onto the estate to pick up their latest allocation of wines and to enjoy a preview tasting of select wines included in the shipment. These celebrations are more than just an opportunity to pick up new releases—they are a tribute to the care and community that brought them to life.
Lighting of the Vines
An annual Hamel tradition. We illuminate the vineyard in the spirit of the holiday season to begin the most festive time of the year.
