Magnum Bottle Upgrade
  • June 2, 2025

A New Enhancement for Wine Club Members Who Love to Celebrate in Style

At St. Francis Winery, we’re always looking for ways to bring our most loyal members even closer to the heart of what we do—and we’re thrilled to unveil something truly special: ‘The Magnum Upgrade’. This exclusive club enhancement is designed for members who believe that some moments deserve something a little grander… a little rarer… a little more unforgettable.

With the Magnum Upgrade, you’ll receive a beautifully aged 1.5-liter bottle each fall, hand-selected from our highly acclaimed Artisan Collection. These large-format wines are crafted in extremely limited quantities—fewer than 200 magnums are produced per vintage—making each release not only rare, but remarkably special. Selected vintages are typically our most sought-after Cabernet Sauvignons and Zinfandels, chosen for their structure, elegance, and aging potential.

There’s a reason magnums are favored for celebrations. Their size allows wine to age gracefully and develop even more nuance over time, while also making a striking impression at the table. Whether you’re commemorating a personal milestone, hosting a dinner party, or simply want to enrich your cellar with a statement bottle, the Magnum Upgrade brings that elevated experience right to your doorstep.

Members who opt in will enjoy more than just a big bottle of wine. Each fall shipment includes your carefully curated magnum—typically priced between $120 and $200—as well as preferred pricing on these special large-format releases. You’ll also gain priority access to other limited magnums and large formats when they become available throughout the year. And to make things even sweeter, standard shipping is included with your upgrade.

Enrollment is extremely limited due to the small number of bottles produced, and once capacity is reached, we won’t be able to offer additional spots until the following vintage.

Available in August 2025! Ready to take your Wine Club experience to the next level? Now’s your chance to go big! Stay tuned—more details on how to join the Magnum Upgrade are coming soon. Can’t wait? Contact our Wine Club team today for more information.
