WE'RE ALL ON OUR OWN UNIQUE WINE JOURNEY
MOVE FORWARD ON YOURS...
NOT SIDEWAYS
THE grape Unknown CLUB WILL GIVE YOU THE ABILITY TO DISSECT YOUR WINE AND ENJOY EVERY WINE EXPERIENCE TO THE FULLEST - BUILDING REAL WINE CONFIDENCE.
WHAT DO I GET IN THE CLUB?
MONTHLY LIVE VIRTUAL WINE TASTINGS
Consistent and continuous monthly live VIRTUAL wine tastings guided by a winemaker. We follow a specific program where we dissect and address one element during every tasting for you to master.
This approach is designed to ensure you don’t get overwhelmed and have the opportunity to properly dissect and implement what you’ve learned before tackling the next topic, the following month.
The replay of all tastings are always available, so even if you can’t join us live you can watch the replay at a time that suits you best – still mastering the full value of this club.
BONUS TASTINGS SERIES
At times throughout the year we’ll host implementation tastings and bonus series. These tastings are an open discussion for you to practice and discuss the elements you learned thus far. When we have the opportunity we’ll have guest experts and winemakers join us to further guide you on your journey.
COMMUNITY
Wine brings people together and creates beautiful bonds. This group is all about learning, community and connection.
Feel free to use this community to share your amazing wine finds and organize meet-ups with fellow members in your area.

What our Members Say
Talking about wines, connecting knowledge and passion - is exactly what I'm learning with Jaco. Thanks Jaco, for making me feel like a human being - helping me fulfill my love and passion for wines. Now, I use my own way to explain, no need to be fancy in a second language. Thank you for all the care that you guys take with us, your students.💕"
"I love what you have created! I love learning from an EXPERIENCED WINEMAKER!!!"
I’m having coworkers asking about MY wine preferences now."
“I am so glad I stumbled upon the Grape Unknown! I have been a lover of wine for the last 5 years but I have always drunk just red cabernet. I still love red cabernet but this club has helped me differentiate what I like and don't like about red cab A vs red cab B. It also has inspired me to step out of my taste buds and try different types of wine."
“I thoroughly enjoy all of the tasting masterclasses. I was conducting a tasting Friday night and the professional next to me couldn’t believe that I had only been working at the winery for 7 months”.

This club LOOKS awesome, BUT...
I DON'T HAVE THE TIME!
This club is designed for your busy lifestyle. We meet once a month for our live virtual tasting masterclass. If you can't spare 1 hour a Month (out of around 720 hours in a month) to drink and learn about wine - you might want to rethink the way you’re living.
But even if you can't make it live you can enjoy the replay. Which also means we have a library of wine tasting masterclasses with all our on-demand bonuses ready and waiting for you to take advantage of whenever you have free time.
will THIS ACTUALLY HELP ME?
Yes - because we don't diddle-daddle around with surface-level wine knowledge and random wine information. We set out a clear and easy success path for you.
By following our tasting program in the club every month, you can actively move from where you are now to the next step - embracing your wine preferences and more importantly understanding how they're unique to you.
IS THIS WORTH $17/month?
If you're buying and drinking wine this club is well worth the small investment of $17 a month. Since you will have a much better grasp of your own wine prefrences - Not only will you get more value out of every bottle you enjoy, you'll be buying better and building confidence every time you taste.
Not to mention all the bonuses, access to world class experts, that you won't find anywhere else in one place.
Learning about wine no longer needs to be overwhelming, intimidating, or boring.
Don't wine alone - staying stuck and confused
There's way too much wine noise and misinformation out there!
that's why we created...
A clear path to wine wisdom
