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.

Graduation Gifts

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.

Club Format and Cost

In order to receive discounted shipments and additional lifestyle benefits, you must be a member of 1870 Club. A $50 one-time, non-refundable deposit will be processed to secure your 1st shipment only. This deposit will be deducted from your 1st club shipment cost. Wines are released in two 3-Bottle or 6-bottle shipments each year based on the club level you select. The cost will range based on your selections. The cost of a bottle ranges from $35 to $75 + tax & shipping.
Each club shipment for three-bottle members will arrive in a cardboard shipper that can be upgraded to a fire-branded Kappa Alpha Theta wooden crate for a discounted price of $25 ($50 Value). All club shipments for 6-bottle members will arrive in a wooden crate at no additional cost ($99 Value). Except for your one-time, non-refundable $50 deposit, your card will not be charged until the Release date. Again, the $50 deposit will be deducted from your first shipment cost.
Each club shipment can also include a special welcome package and gift at no additional cost ($30 Value). Depending on the club level you choose, you can customize your wine selections! New, library and special edition wines will be offered for your selection. There is no long-term commitment, and you may cancel at any time.
Please review 1870 Club member levels and benefits on comparison matrix presented on the Club page. Enjoy your wine, and remember, when you share a glass, gift a bottle or visit the Fairwinds tasting room in Napa Valley together, you are supporting Kappa Alpha Theta!
