Brooklyn Winery

What's in the box: The site does not describe club shipments, but as a winery club it most likely sends bottles of Brooklyn Winery's own wine rather than winemaking supplies.

Brooklyn Winery is a winery in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and its main business is hosting events. Its site puts weddings first, then corporate events and private parties for up to 300 guests. After that comes a tasting room that serves wine and small plates, with guided tastings, food pairings, Wine Trivia night and a blind tasting game called Smarter than a Somm. You can also take a guided tour of the production facility, where staff explain how their wine is made. The main menu has a Wine Club section, which is the part that matters if you want regular deliveries. However, the site does not clearly explain what members get, how often shipments arrive or what membership costs. If you want a home winemaking kit, this is not one. You are buying finished wine from a working winery. The hands-on winemaking side happens on the in-person tours, not in a box. The club will probably suit people who live in or often visit New York, since they can also use the tasting room and events. If you live farther away, contact the winery before joining to confirm what membership includes and whether it ships to your state.
