Tampa Palms Vintners Club is the most exclusive "Club within our Club"

• Vintners Club Membership Includes:

  • Support and attendance at monthly tasting dinners is fundamental to the purpose of Vintners and continued membership in Vintners requires attendance by each member (couples may not combine attendance) at a minimum of four (4) regular (3rd Thursday) Vintners events, not including the year-end dinner. Special limited-seating events (i.e., high-end dinners; Vintners on the Veranda, etc.) DO NOT count toward the four (4) event minimum.
  • Limited membership to provide higher quality tastings and service.
  • Complimentary end of year dinner strictly limited to Vintners Club members only.
  • In the spirit of the exclusivity of Vintners and the special occasion of each Vintners event, a DRESS CODE is strictly enforced. While jackets for gentlemen are preferred, they are not required, but "Country Club Casual" attire is the standard. For Vintners events this specifically means NO JEANS, NO DENIM, NO SHORTS, NO T-SHIRTS, and NO "FLIP-FLOPS". Please make certain any guests you may bring are made aware of our dress code.
  • Wines may be purchased through the Club or on the Vintners Club website at 5% over Club cost. This is strictly and exclusively limited to Vintners Club members. Non-member guests (including those on the Vintners waiting list) may not purchase wine through the Club. Reorders of wine requires a case minimum purchase (whether 6 bottle or 12 bottle case, depending upon how the wine is packaged) per wine ordered. The Club will provide no "price checking" services to Vintners members. Subject to this re-order minimum, if a Vintners member seeks to purchase a wine through Vintners that had not been featured at a tasting dinner, the member must provide the Club the name of the distributor.
  • Vintners Club members only and their guests are served in the Tampa Palms Golf and Country Club dining facilities with special Vintners Club wine glasses.
  • For member events at the Club (such as New Year's Eve Dinner Dance; Member Appreciation Night, etc.), Vintners members may be served wine from their wine inventories, however orders must be placed no later than 24 hours prior to the event. No ordering of wine from Vintners inventories will be allowed the day of a Member event.
  • Vintners Club members are eligible to purchase a license to use a distinctive wine locker for storing wine purchases at the Club. Members holding wine locker licenses may store bottles of wine up to the capacity of the locker(s); non-locker owners are limited to storing twelve (12) bottles of wine at the Club. All Vintners members will be charged a $35/year maintenance fee to offset the cost of stocking and inventory of wine stored at the Club during the year.
  • No corkage or alcohol surcharges are added when enjoying wine from your locker or storage while dining at the club. If a Vintners member brings wine to the Club for serving, whether purchased through Vintners or otherwise (in other words, not kept in a locker or in Club storage), a $5 per bottle corkage fee will be charged.
  • $125 per year membership fee per person - must be renewed annually.
  • Price for each tasting is $60.00++ for members and $80.00++ for member guests.
  • Members may bring the same guest to no more than two (2) Vintners events per calendar year and bring no more than a total of six (6) guests in a given calendar year. A guest may only attend two (2) Vintners events in a given calendar year. Vintners must accompany any guests, and guest charges must be made to the Vintner member's account. Please see Vintners Guest Policy posted on the website for additional details.
  • Membership in Vintners requires membership in good standing at Tampa Palms G&CC.
  • Vintners tasting dinners require prior reservations. Reservations that are cancelled within 48 hours of an event will result in a full event charge to the member's account. If a member fails to make reservations and the seating and advanced reservations for the event do not allow for accommodation, a member may regrettably be turned away.

  • New applications for Vintners Club membership are only accepted through the Vintners Website online application process, and each application is considered in the order it is received. Click here to apply for the waiting list.
  • You can likely greatly shorten your Waiting List time by applying for an exclusive Vintners wine locker. These beautiful wooden wine storage lockers (located in the Club lobby) hold multiple cases of your Vintners wine purchases. The initial cost of a Vintners Locker license is $400. As lockers become available, those on the Locker Waiting List are given priority for invitation to join Vintners, potentially greatly shortening waiting time over the regular Waiting List. If you are interested in having your name placed on the Locker Waiting List, it is first necessary for you to join the regular Waiting List through the link above. Once that is accomplished simply send an email to any of the Committee members asking that your name be placed on the Locker Waiting List. Committee members and email addresses are found at the Committee tab at the bottom of the Vintners Home page.
