The Hess Collection Collectors Club
The Hess Collection Collectors Club allows you to experience our winery on an elevated level.
Each year, our winemaking team hand picks an array of wines that showcase the diversity and exceptional quality The Hess Collection has to offer. These wines are the foundation for The Hess Collectors Club. Membership also includes hand-crafted recipes, and VIP access to our Visitors Center and The Hess Collection Art Museum.
Hess Winemaker Dave Guffy, believes great wine begins in the vineyard, working each vineyard block to absolutely maximize flavors. Learn more about The Hess Collection wines and winemaking from Dave’s winemaker notes, included in each club shipment.
Chad Hendrickson, executive chef, utilizes local organically and sustainably grown products to create fresh seasonal recipes to pair with The Hess Collection wines. He pairs unique flavors and textures in each wine with complementary flavor combinations in the dishes he creates. Expertly pair your wines with one of Chad’s original recipes, also included in each club shipment.

Top Collectors agree to one additional shipment of their chosen allocation of The Lion or equivalent Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, at 25% off retail price, in that year (minimum 4 bottles), for a total of 5 shipments annually.

Club Contact

AHNA JOTTER
Ahna Jotter is a Napa native who developed her love for the wine industry at a young age, having grown up on her family’s small winery in Yountville. She began her tenure at The Hess Collection in 2009 as a Visitor Center Host before quickly moving up to Visitor Center Assistant Manager in 2011. Her passion and dedication to the winery, as well as her intimate knowledge of Hess wines led to her current role—Collectors Club Manager. As Club Manager, Ahna very much enjoys serving as the Collectors Club Members’ guide to the world of The Hess Collection’s art, wine and experiences.
When Ahna isn’t curating the next wine shipment with the Winemaking Team, or planning the next spectacular Collectors Club event, you may find her birdwatching with her husband André, or tickling the ivories—much to her cats’ chagrin.
