Wine Club


Buy-the-Case at the Greencroft Club: A Membership Benefit

After six months of hard work, led by Katy Kirby, Food & Beverage Director, The Greencroft Club now has an off-premise Virginia ABC license!

While you are now able to order selected wine through the Club, an explanation about this opportunity is needed.
See our monthly wine specials here.

What purchase advantage the Greencroft Club offers

What Greencroft can do is find you reasonably priced wines, offer alternatives or our own “Club” deals. These may be close-outs where a wholesaler is clearing out inventory and making way for the next vintage. There are also monthly wine specials which can be particularly aggressive and offer Greencroft a purchasing opportunity.

Because of the need to add a small premium for charging your alcohol purchases to your Club account, your best price will be for those wines paid for at the time of pick-up.

We are sharing the information below to explain why there is always the possibility that your first selection may not be available, may not be available at the price you were expecting or may not be available in the quantities you request.

Retail wines fall into different categories affecting their availability
  • First, there are private label wines, such as the Kirkland brand at Costco. These are proprietary and available only through that retail account.
  • Secondly, there are “controlled” labels sold exclusively at specific stores such as Wegmans or Trader Joe’s. These stores are able to buy and distribute in such large quantities their price “control” comes into play.
  • Thirdly, large retailers like a Sam’s Club commit to buying large quantities of a particular wine. They can then dictate the price and sustain a low price mark-up. Even though the sales of $30/bottle wines can be greatly impacted by a reduced $10/bottle cost, large quantity purchases allow the wineries to move their inventory.
  • Finally, most wholesalers offer “quantity” purchases: a better deal on 10, 20 or more cases of wine at one time.

 Please remember, the Greencroft Club cannot compete with any, or all, of these scenarios!

How the off-premise ABC license will work for you at the Greencroft Club

Below is the wine order form to place your order on-line (or download the printable version if you would rather drop off or call-in your order).

Once your wine order is received, a staff member will research availability, costs, etc., and report back to you regarding the status of your order. If you want less than a full case, and the wholesaler requires a full case for purchase, we will confidentially try to match up your request with another Member’s order. If, for some reason, your item is not available, we will offer alternatives.

At times you will receive information on wine “specials” for your consideration. This may be the most exciting opportunity. We will showcase a particular wine and offer reviews regarding moderately expensive wines of interest.

In closing, we are excited to offer this new wine purchasing opportunity and appreciate, in advance, your patience and understanding as we work through the dynamics of Buy-the-Case at the Greencroft Club. We are confident your savings will prove to be another advantage of your Greencroft Club Membership.

Host An Event of Your Own

I literally cannot say enough good things about Katy and her team at Greencroft Club. First, the venue itself is so pretty and welcomes photos at every turn. We had our ceremony outside below their gorgeous old-growth tree with their arch. It was amazing. The food was also so good. Everyone absolutely loved it! We had the filet and hickory chicken, and everyone left saying wonderful things. They had an extensive drink list, too, which many of our guests enjoyed. The wait staff were so friendly, attentive, and eager to make sure we all had everything we needed for the meals. Lastly, I really am so grateful to Katy. She made the day-of flow so smoothly, she knew what was needed even before it crossed my mind, and she absolutely took the stress out of worrying about the details. I would work with Katy on every event, if I could! She is obviously a seasoned pro. Thanks to Greencroft, Katy, and her team, my family and I managed to have a wonderful microwedding in the middle of this COVID pandemic. I'm thrilled that Greencroft was as welcoming (Safely!!!) and flexible for us for our special day (that we didn't think would be able to happen at all!)
