Why Join Us
Membership gives you preferred pricing on experiences, priority access to limited-capacity events and invitations to exclusive member-only gatherings throughout the year. Be the first to hear about new tastings, dining experiences, rare wine allocations and extraordinary opportunities that often sell out before reaching the wider public. Alongside access to our wine-led experiences, members enjoy a growing collection of benefits and rewards from carefully selected partners across hospitality, restaurants, food and drink, travel and luxury lifestyle.

Rewards That Add Up
Your engagement with Encountr should bring something back.
From local tastings and winery tours in Rioja to cases of wine and international experiences, your qualifying activity is tracked against your Membership.
Every £1 you spend counts towards your rewards.
Whether you're spending £200 on a local experience, £240 on a case of wine or £3,000 on an international experience, your activity contributes to a rewards structure designed to recognise your engagement with Encountr.
The best loyalty programme is one that works quietly in the background, rewarding you for the experiences you already enjoy.
No expiry dates. Just more reasons to engage with Encountr.
Your Membership helps our community grow. We believe the value should flow both ways.
Referrals, Recognised
Great communities grow through personal connections.
Encountr is built on relationships: the introductions that bring people together, the shared interests that create lasting connections and the trust that opens doors.
When someone you refer is accepted into the Encountr community, your recommendation is recognised and rewarded.
Because the people who help shape our community deserve to share in its growth.
Your Network, Connected
The Member Directory
A private directory connecting Encountr Members and partners.
Discover fellow collectors, winemakers, chefs and other people across our network. Search the directory, send connection requests and, where connections are accepted, access warm, contextual introductions through Encountr.
See who is attending upcoming experiences, discover the wines favoured by fellow collectors and sommeliers, and explore perspectives from industry leaders selected by Encountr and its network.
The value of a network grows with the people who make it.
Become one of our 100 Founding Members and help shape the community from the beginning. Every new Member brings fresh perspectives, connections and opportunities to the network.
Wine gave you a reason to gather.
The network is why you keep gathering.
