Welcome Uphill Club Members
We're excited to welcome all Uphill Vineyards club members to their new home, here at La Mesa Vineyards.
Join us across the street (literally!)
The remaining Uphill Vineyards wine vintages are being held for club members at La Mesa Sutter Creek.
Uphill Club is now at La Mesa.
As an Uphill Vineyards legacy club member, you can start enjoying your club benefits with La Mesa right away - including continued access and discounts on Uphill wines, plus all of our wines.
Not familiar with La Mesa Vineyards? We are a top destination winery in Amador's Shenandoah Valley and have been making quality wines since 2011. Our wines have received plenty of acclaim and awards so far, and keep getting better.
You'll find our modern tasting room located on Shenandoah Road in Plymouth, about 20 minutes north of Sutter Creek.
Great wines. Made Right here.
Located just 45 minutes east of Sacramento in Plymouth, California, La Mesa offers a full selection of award-winning reds, whites and specialty wines made ranging from popular varietals to rare Rhône and Italian grapes that are locally sourced and estate-grown in our high-altitude vineyard.
Bring Your Friends.
La Mesa now has two tasting rooms to serve you: the vineyard right in the heart of Amador Wine Country, and the downtown Sutter Creek at 59 Main Street, right in the middle of all the action there.
Club members enjoy a complimentary glass of wine for members and (up to +3) guests any time you visit either of these two locations.
Very few wine clubs can offer you two outstanding destinations!
Weekend Bistro
Enjoy 5-star eats at our vineyard bistro, and chef-prepared dishes at our club events.
Weekend bistro is open Sat-Sun, 12:00-3:30 p.m.
Exclusive Events
We host a busy event calendar for club members, including private winery tours and barrel-tastings, fun and educational wine classes, live music performances on our expansive outdoor terrace, harvest parties, winemaker dinners and also participate in many other community and vintner association events.
People are already asking us, "Are you planning to host events at the Sutter Creek tasting room?" The answer is yes, most definitely! Stay tuned.
La Mesa ships to most U.S. states
Our club members who are living outside the area are just as special to us. We appreciate that they want their wine purchases to ship quickly and be packaged up safe and sound while they are in transit.
We have negotiated low rates with our distribution partners. As a club member, you can now ship an entire case of La Mesa wine to any physical address in California or Nevada for just $35. Or to any other U.S. state we service, for just $49.
Combine low shipping rates with your club discount on wines to treat your friends and family across the country!
Questions About Your Membership
We realize you may still have questions. We've prepared more information about the La Mesa club and general terms of service.
If we can't answer all your questions on this page, please get in touch with us or stop by the tasting room during business hours.
Will I still be able to order Uphill wines?
Yes! These wines are now part of our Library collection, held back exclusively for Uphill legacy club members.
All club members choose from a list of "winemaker selections" every release. In your case, this will include an assortment of Uphill wines. You confirm these or edit our default choices to include other wines. You can also combine brands with a mix of La Mesa wines. It's up to you!
About two weeks prior to the release, you will be given a one-week window to confirm your selections by logging into your account (click "Account" at the top-right corner).
We will do our best to complete any changes to selections made after the deadline.
Do I still get my discounts?
As a La Mesa club member, you continue to receive a regular discount of 20%.
Club members can take advantage of our mix-and-match case specials, including Library wines, at 30%.
Club members also qualify for the annual Birthday discount of 30%.
How much Uphill wine is left?
We arranged to purchcase most of the available wine from Uphill Vineyards. As their wine was made in small batches, availability on any given wine can be anywhere from several dozen cases down to just a handful of cases. If you are looking for a particular wine, let us know and we'll give you an update. These wines are exclusively held back for Uphill legacy club member releases.
When do I get my Club releases?
Uphill club members will generally receive four releases per year under the new plans. These happen on weekends in February, May, August and November.
Do I continue to get "free" tastings?
All club members in good standing get complimentary wine tastings at both our locations, with up to +3 guests (or +5 for Celebrate members) at no charge.
How does pick-up work?
If you selected the Pick-up option for your upcoming release, you'll be receiving your wines at your Home Tasting Room (whichever location is your preference) during business hours, starting the weekend of the release date.
Give us a call if you can't make it. "Will Call" members have 4 weeks to pick up their shipments at the winery. After that time, orders are shipped to the Club member’s address listed on file at the Members' expense. An adult (21+ years of age) must be home to sign for the package.
Undeliverable shipments are held for 60 days before disposal. If a past-due shipment is returned back to the winery and not picked up, the membership is automatically cancelled.
How does shipping work?
For active members who select the Ship option, wines are shipped out on the release date.
When your wines ship, you will be charged the balance owing plus sales tax and UPS ground shipping charges. Tracking notifications are sent out by UPS to the email that is on file.
The law requires that an adult (21+ years of age) be home to sign for the package.
The shipper will make 3 attempts to deliver, after which it will be returned to us. There will be a fee for re-shipping.
How does payment work?
Your credit card is charged for the release wines just prior to the Club Release Day.
Charges include the cost of the release wines (minus the Club discount) plus taxes and shipping, if applicable.
By joining Club, your signature authorizes La Mesa Vineyards to use your credit card on file for Club and shipping charges related to your account.
What is the Mix and Match case discount?
Club members may purchase a full case (12) bottles of their choice for 30% off the list price. These purchases may be at any time. These purchases are over and above the regular Club releases and may include Library wines.
What is the Birthday discount?
Each Club member receives a Birthday discount of 30% off up to 5 cases every year.
Birthday discounts are only redeemable for wine purchases and are limited to a single transaction on a "use it or lose it" basis. Birthday discounts may not be combined with any other discount.
Club members have 30 days to redeem their Birthday discount. Birthday discounts cannot be redeemed online. Birthday orders can be emailed, phoned in, or placed with staff at either tasting room. Birthday discounts are limited to no more than five (5) cases of wine. Cases of wine may be mixed, quantities permitting.
Pre-ordering your birthday wines is highly encouraged.
Do I get a referral bonus for family and friends?
Yes! When your family member or friend joins, you receive a referral credit for a bottle of wine at our tasting room, valued up to $39. Redeem this credit immediately upon signup. See staff for rules regarding your credit.
Can I cancel anytime?
Uphill legacy club members may cancel at any time.
Benefits end at the time of cancellation.
Once you cancel, you will not have access to Uphill Vineyards wines again.
The Club member is responsible for providing notice of cancellation at least 14 days prior to shipments. Cancellation may be done by submitting a request via email at wineclub@lamesavineyards.com, by phoning or speaking to any staff member or manager at our tasting rooms.
Club members may choose to skip a release. If a release is skipped, all benefits, discounts and Wine Club events are suspended "on hold" and will be reactivated when the next release is paid. A member may only skip one quarterly release per year.
I'm ready to continue my membership wth La Mesa. What's next?
Great! Please visit either of our tasting room locations or watch for an e-mail or phone call from our tasting room team. They will confirm your details (name, email, phone number, address, shipping versus pickup preference, date of birth, credit card) and provide specific instructions for the next release.
Typically new members must make their first purchase to activate benefits. Uphill legacy club members in good standing may activate immediately once they confirm the details above.
