Great wine is better with good food and good company. That’s why we created the Bettolino Cellar Club, our monthly wine membership for guests who love to discover something new.

Whether you have been collecting wine for years or you just know what you like, here is how the Cellar Club works, what a wine tasting dinner is like, and how to make the most of both.

What Is the Bettolino Cellar Club?

The Cellar Club is a monthly wine club built around a simple promise: Good Wine. Good Company. Every Month. Each month, our team hand-selects two boutique wines from small winemakers around the world. Many are made in small batches and are not easy to find on a retail shelf.

Membership is $85 per month with a minimum three-month commitment. Our team chooses the wines, so you get to explore new bottles without the guesswork, and you can enjoy them with the support of a team that knows them well.

What Cellar Club Members Get

• Two boutique wines every month, selected by the Bettolino team
• Easy pickup on any Wednesday of the month
• A complimentary tasting of that month’s wines for you and a guest when you stay for dinner on pickup day
• 10% off all bottles, whether you dine in or take them to go
• First access to tickets for Cellar Club wine dinners and other special events

Wine is meant to be shared, so the Cellar Club makes it simple to turn a pickup into an evening out!

What Is a Wine Tasting Dinner?

A wine tasting dinner pairs a multi-course meal with wines chosen to complement each dish. Instead of ordering a single glass with dinner, you taste several wines side by side with the food they were selected for, and see how a pairing can change the way both taste.

It is a relaxed, social way to learn about wine, especially if you are not sure where to start. There are no wrong answers, just good conversation, new favorites, and a table full of people enjoying the same evening.

Next Up: Cellar Club Wine Tasting Dinner on November 17

Our next wine dinner takes place on Tuesday, November 17. Enjoy a three course meal paired with three different wines from the Bettolino Cellar Club, for $70 per person.

Save the date and purchase your ticket – it will sell out quickly!

4 Simple Wine Pairing Tips to Try at Home

Can’t wait to try our wines? Give it a shot at home! These classic Italian table principles are a good start for you to begin mixing and matching from your own table or while dining with us:

1. Match weight with weight. Light dishes pair with lighter wines, and rich, hearty dishes pair with fuller wines.
2. Let acidity work for you. A wine with bright acidity can balance tomato sauces and cut through creamy or fried dishes.
3. Drink what grows together. Regional wines and regional dishes have evolved side by side, which is why so many Italian pairings just work.
4. Trust your palate. If you love it, it is a great pairing.

At Bettolino, our team is always happy to recommend a bottle to go with your handmade pasta.
