Clif Family Winery & Farm in St. Helena began a wine subscription in 2024. The winery expanded The Wine Drop subscription from a digital-only offering to one sold by its hospitality team. Membership grew 16% between 2024 and 2025, and the winery moved all traditional wine club members to the subscription model.
