Founded in 1990, The California Wine Club delivers hand-selected wines from small, artisan wineries right to your door. Maybe you signed up to feel a bit like a character from a prestige TV show, sipping fancy wine on the couch, but now the bottles are just piling up. It happens. With subscriptions ranging from $43.45 to $139, you could save up to $1668 a year by canceling. This guide covers how to cancel your membership on their desktop website. Let's get it done.
How to Cancel California Wine Club Subscription on Desktop
Canceling online should be straightforward, but they don't always make it obvious. You'll need to use their website on a computer for this. I found that trying to do this on a mobile browser was a pain because the layout felt squished and hard to navigate.
1 Log Into Your Account
Head over to the California Wine Club website and find the 'Log In' button, which is usually at the top right of the page. Enter your account email and password to get in.
2 Navigate to the Membership Section
Once you're logged in, look for a link that says 'My Account'. From there, you should see an option for 'My Membership' or 'Wine Club Selections'. This is where the important settings are hidden.
3 Find the Cancel Link
This can be the annoying part. You might need to scroll past a few offers or prompts to stay. Look carefully for a link that says 'Cancel Membership'. Honestly, I had to look twice before I spotted it.
4 Confirm Your Cancellation
Click the cancel link and follow any final steps. They will likely ask for a reason. Just pick one and hit the final 'Confirm Cancellation' button. Don't leave the page until you see a confirmation message.
Cancel California Wine Club Subscription with phone
Call them at 1-800-777-4443. Their customer service is available Monday to Friday, from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Pacific Time. Have your account information ready. Some people say this is the quickest method, but you might have to wait on hold for a bit.
Cancel California Wine Club Subscription with email
Send an email to info@cawineclub.com. Be sure to include your full name and membership number to speed things up. Don't expect an immediate response, it could take a business day or two for them to process it and send a confirmation.
Before you cancel, know this: California Wine Club won't refund you for a shipment that has already been processed just because you forgot to cancel. It's frustrating, but that's their policy. You can, however, pause your membership instead of canceling. Just call them to change how often you get wine or to temporarily stop deliveries. It's a good option if you just need a break.
