Welcome to VOUX Wines Private Winery Club (“VOUX Wines,” “the Club,” “we,” “our,” or “us”).
By enrolling in any membership tier, making a reservation, attending an event, visiting the property, or otherwise engaging with our services, you (“Member,” “you,” or “your”) acknowledge and agree that you are joining a private membership association and are bound by these Terms of Service and Club Rules.


VOUX Wines operates as a private membership-based winery located at 36149 Meadow Ridge Rd., Temecula, California 92592. The property and its facilities are not open to the general public and access is restricted to approved members and their invited guests.


2. Private Membership Agreement

By joining or participating in the Club in any capacity, you acknowledge and agree to the following:

  1. Private Association:
    Membership in VOUX Wines constitutes participation in a private, member-only association. The Club is organized under the principles of private association and freedom of contract, protected by the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution and applicable state law.
  2. Acceptance of Rules:
    Members agree to abide by all Club Rules, Bylaws, and Policies, as amended from time to time, which govern conduct, membership privileges, and use of Club property.
  3. Non-Public Nature:
    The Club and its premises are not open to the public. Membership or authorized guest status is required for entry, tastings, events, and any on-site participation.
  4. Voluntary Participation:
    Joining the Club is a voluntary act. By doing so, you agree to participate in and be governed by the Club’s private rules and dispute procedures rather than public regulatory frameworks intended for commercial public entities.


3. Membership Eligibility and Access

  1. Eligibility:
    Membership is by invitation or application approval only. VOUX Wines reserves the right to approve, deny, or revoke membership at its sole discretion.
  2. Access and Privileges:
    Membership provides limited rights to access the Club’s facilities, attend private tastings or events, and purchase wines produced on-site. All activities are for the benefit of members and their personal guests only.
  3. Guests:
    Members may invite guests in accordance with current Club policy. Members are responsible for ensuring their guests comply with all rules and conduct standards while on the premises.


4. Conduct and Member Responsibilities

Members and guests agree to:

  • Respect the property, staff, and other members at all times.
  • Follow posted safety and operational guidelines.
  • Consume alcohol responsibly and in compliance with ABC regulations applicable to licensed winegrowers.
  • Not act in any manner that could endanger others, disturb operations, or violate the Club’s private nature.

The Club reserves the right to suspend or terminate membership for conduct inconsistent with these expectations or detrimental to the community.


5. Club Property and Operations

  1. Licensed Premises:
    The Club operates under a valid California ABC Type 02 Winegrower License, authorizing production and limited on-premises tasting of wines produced on the property.
    All tastings and events occur on the licensed premises and are restricted to members and invited guests.
  2. Agricultural and Private Nature:
    The property is zoned R-A (Rural Agricultural) and functions as an active agricultural operation. Club tastings and events are incidental to on-site wine production and vineyard management.
  3. No Public Commercial Activity:
    VOUX Wines does not operate as a bar, restaurant, or public tasting facility. All activities are private and conducted under the principles of a member association.


6. Dispute Resolution

As a condition of membership, all members agree that:

  • Any dispute arising from membership, Club rules, or property use shall first be resolved internally through good-faith mediation within the Club.
  • If unresolved, disputes shall be subject to private arbitration in Riverside County, California, under the rules of the American Arbitration Association.
  • Members waive any right to a public trial or class action.


7. Indemnification and Liability Waiver

By joining, members and guests assume all responsibility for their own safety and voluntarily waive any claim against VOUX Wines, its owners, employees, or agents for personal injury, property loss, or damages arising from participation in Club activities, except where caused by gross negligence or willful misconduct.


8. Amendments
