The 1870 Club

The 1870 Club Membership Financially Supports Kappa Alpha Theta!
Kappa Alpha Theta is excited to introduce the 1870 Wine Club! The year 1870 means so much to Theta. A year when few women were admitted to higher education institutions, Theta’s four founders established a space for women in higher education to support each other through sisterhood. Today, Theta links members across the globe. Black & Gold Napa Valley celebrates this history and legacy with historic labels.
The 1870 Club is an exciting new opportunity to experience and enjoy delicious wines from America’s most renowned wine country. Thetas who join can purchase exclusive labels from the Black & Gold Napa Valley collection, and receive two shipments (three bottles or six bottles) handcrafted, limited-production bottles delivered in a vintage fire-branded wood crate created exclusively for Kappa Alpha Theta.

Fall 2023 Release
Introducing Remember the Black & Gold, a 2020 Red Wine that captures the essence of Kappa Alpha Theta’s cherished song. With a deep, saturated color and a symphony of flavors including spicy plum, black cherry, tobacco, cinnamon, and floral hints. In addition, Three Cheers for Theta, a 2021 Chardonnay from Napa Valley, pays tribute to the spirited anthem with its perfect balance of fruit and elegance, revealing notes of melon, poached pear, lemon custard, and exotic fruits, harmonizing with hints of vanilla and spicy wood.
