How the wine club works 

As a member of Vikings on the Vine, you'll enjoy these great benefits:

  • Two regular shipments per year (October/November and April/May) of specially selected, high-quality wines.
  • Each shipment includes four bottles of premium wine connected to the Portland State family.
  • Winemaker profiles and tasting notes with each shipment.

Membership Cost

Vikings on the Vine offers outstanding wines for less than you can buy them at the winery. Each shipment of four wines will cost $100 to $175, plus tax, shipping and handling. Membership is open to everyone (21 and over) and makes a great gift for Portland State moms, dads, grads and friends.

All proceeds from the wine club support alumni and student programming for the PSU Alumni Association.
