The Best Wine Advent Calendars, Wine Club and Subscription Boxes to Gift This Holiday Season 2022

There are few better ways to get in the holiday spirit than by gifting yourself or someone you love with a present that gets opened for days or even weeks. The holidays are fast approaching and it's time to start thinking about Advent calendars to reveal surprise treats as we count down the days until Christmas 2022. Nowadays, Advent calendars go beyond the chocolates from your childhood to now feature candles, coffees, beauty products, and wine.

The best wine Advent calendars of 2022 feature reds, whites, rosé's, and sparkling wines to tailor your gifts to your loved one's tastes. These adult iterations of the multi-day gifting experience make great gifts for moms, dads, girlfriends, grandparents, and friends who appreciate wine. We promise you won't miss wandering down aisle after aisle of wine bottles, pondering how so many labels and varieties exist.

Want to keep the wine coming? We recommend trying a wine club or subscription box that are also convenient to gift and won't break the bank. Many wine subscription services ask a few simple questions and then take care of the only hard part: choosing a bottle. That means that a great wine (more specifically, a case of six or 12 great wines) is just a few clicks away. If you want to find out what wine you like best, you could even do a taste test with your Advent calendar and then order a subscription for yourself.

A wine gift is perfect for any occasion, especially during the cozy seasons. From red wines like pinot noir, merlot, and cabernet, to white wines like chardonnay and sauvignon blanc, rustic California wine and fancy fine wine imports from France, there’s a gift idea for every kind of wine drinker. Below, shop our favorite 2022 wine Advent calendars, subscriptions, and wine clubs for gifting this year.

The Best Wine Club and Subscription Boxes in 2022

Firstleaf

Joining the Firstleaf wine club starts with a quiz — a very easy quiz. Just tell them about your wine preferences and they'll create a customized tasting profile, which they'll use to curate your introductory shipment. After that, you can rate the wines they send with a simple thumbs up or thumbs down to refine your tasting profile even further. Every shipment includes six wines and costs $90, including shipping. And if you happen to get a bottle that you're not keen on, the Firstleaf Wine Concierge team will find a replacement on the house.

STARTING AT $60

90+ Cellars

Celebrate each season with a quarterly delivery of wine! When you join the 90+ Cellars Wine Club, a shipment of three, six or 12 bottles will arrive at your doorstep four times per year. Each selection is handpicked from wineries and vineyards around the globe, and shipping is free.

Martha Stewart Wine Co.

Options abound with Martha Stewart Wine Co.'s wine club. Choose between six bottles of wine every six weeks or 12 bottles of wine every eight weeks, and have your wine shipments be all red, all white or a mixed pack (meaning the team will curate special selection of wines for you).
