A Guild: a community of plants that grow and support each other by recycling nutrients back into the soil, providing shade and conserving water, attracting beneficial insects, repelling pests and diseases, building soil, and preventing erosion.

OUR NEW OFFERING

We are moving forward in exciting ways. In one of our recent newsletters, we talked about the difficulties of the 2023 vintage and changes that we are making at the domaine. Given the scarcity of our wine from 2023, we decided that many of our cuvées could only be available online and onfarm, far fewer wines will be available in the larger marketplace. To help make it all easier for you, our supporters, we are excited to introduce a CSA {community supported agriculture} model: The Forêt Wine Guild.

INCLUDED IN ALL MEMBERSHIPS: 

1. We curate a unique shipment for you, pulling wines from new releases, special bottlings sold only online and onfarm, and library offerings: still wines, sparkling wines, and cider coferments. You'll have access to many of our small production wines that don't make it off the farm. And when we say small, we mean small. Domaine La Garagista produces only 1000 cases of wine total a year, and we make a lot of different wines {35 labels at last count}.

2. Priority Access to any special ticketed events at one of our locations.

3. Special pricing

• 3 Bottle Members: 5% discount off wines in each CSA shipment. Customize your CSA shipment by adding additional bottles at the same 5% discounted rate.

• 6 Bottle Members: 10% discount off wines in each CSA shipment. Customize your CSA shipment by adding additional bottles at the same 10% discounted rate.

• 12 Bottle Members: 15% discount off wines in each CSA shipment. Customize your CSA shipment by adding additional bottles at the same 15% discounted rate.

4. All CSA Members may add wine to their CSA shipment. In addition to our 3 bottle box size, we also have: 4 bottle, 6 bottle, 9 bottle, and 12 bottle.

THE FINT PRINT:

1. We ask that you commit to subscribing for the year, or the remainder of the year if you sign-up mid-stream so that we may properly manage our inventory. Of course, you can always step out if you need to. You are charged only when each shipment leaves the dock. 

2. In your shipment, you will get an assortment, which may include both wine and coferments {wines from our cofermentation family that blend cider and wine, or wine with other fruits.} 

3. No substitutions. 

4. All discounts are only on the cost of the wine. Discounts do NOT apply to tax and shipping.

5. For Vermont Residents: we currently don’t have in-state shipping available, so your allocation will be pick-up only. We will set a date and let you know when the wines will be available for pick-up. You can email us if you’d like to pick-up at a different time once the shipment has been released.

6. We currently can ship to 37 states:
AK, AZ, CA, CO, DC, FL, GA, HI, IA, ID, IL, IN, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MN, MO, NC, ND, NE, NH, NM, NV, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, SC, TN, TX, WA, WI, WV, WY.

7. We ship four times a year weather permitting:
- Spring into Summer
