The Vineyard
Learn, and gather.
Answer trivia, call Wine Wisdom statements truth or bluff, and draw a Somm’s Favor. The cards you win here are what buy you clues and guesses later.
A wine game of trivia, bluffing & deduction
Every wine
has a secret.
Uncover theirs before
they uncover yours.
A social wine game of clues, deception and deduction, built for the table.
Preorders close
From the Vineyard
to the Tasting Room.
Three rooms, and the game changes character in each one. Roll the die, move clockwise, and resolve the space you land on.
The Cellar
A door closes behind you.
Reach the Cellar and the teams still in the Vineyard can no longer guess your wine. The first team through gets one clue out of somebody, once.
The Tasting Room
The rolling stops.
Spend the Guess cards you banked to name the other teams’ wines. Get one right and that team is out. Win by being the last wine still a secret.
The Sommelier’s Secret
The cellar holds
52 secrets.
Tonight, one of them is yours.
From familiar favorites to varietals that go a little deeper, every game begins with a new secret waiting to be protected, pursued and uncovered.
Sipper
(Beginner)
Familiar varietals. Approachable clues. No wine expertise required.
Taster
(Intermediate)
Know your way around a wine list? Go deeper with varietals designed for more experienced wine drinkers.
52 varietals.
Countless ways the night can unfold.
Your turn
Roll, move,
read the colour.
Move clockwise and resolve the space you land on before your turn ends. Roll the SS face and it is a Somm’s Choice: move one to six spaces and land wherever you like in that range.

Burgundy
Trivia
The team on your left draws a card and reads the question aloud — nobody ever reads their own. Answer it and you roll again. If that card carries a Guess token, you keep it for the Tasting Room.
-
Beige
Wine Wisdom
They read a statement and keep the answer to themselves. Your team calls it: truth or bluff. Call it right and the card is yours, and every one of them carries a Clue token or a Guess token.
-
Blue
Somm’s Favor
Draw the top card and do exactly what it says. Some take effect the moment you read them out. Others you keep, and choose your own moment.

Charcoal
An icon
The symbol printed on the space takes over. There are five of them, and the Icon Guide says what each one does.

Trivia, Wine Wisdom and Somm’s Favor. The decks that keep the clues coming and the turns interesting.
Rest
The SS die and the pieces, plus the Icon Guide, the Varietal Bank and the Sommelier’s Notes.
Good questions.
Straight answers.
- Do I need to know a lot about wine?
- No. A curious mind is enough. The Sipper deck starts with more familiar wines, and clues and deduction do the rest. You pick up the wine knowledge as you play.
- What exactly is the bluff?
- One of the five clues on every team’s Varietal card simply is not true. It is printed in yellow, so only that team knows which. You never have to say which clue was the lie. That stays your secret until another team correctly names your wine and you reveal your card.
- Can a team reveal the bluff on purpose?
- Yes, and a good team does. When asked for a clue you choose any you have not revealed yet, including the bluff. Read only that clue aloud and keep the card hidden.
- Is “truth or bluff” something you call out?
- That is a different card. Wine Wisdom spaces are the game of truth or bluff: the team on your left reads a wine statement without the answer, and your team calls it. Win and you keep the card, which later buys a clue or a guess.
- How do you win?
- Reach the Tasting Room and be the last team standing. Correctly naming an opponent’s secret wine eliminates that team, and the other teams can do the same to each other. Timing matters as much as your guesses.
- Where are the full rules?
- The complete rulebook is online, searchable mid-game, and behind the QR code on the box, so you can learn the game before yours arrives.
- When will I get my game?
- Preorders close on Black Friday, , and our inventory is expected around then. We expect the first 100 games to ship the following week, November 30–December 4, subject to inventory arriving as planned. That is when they leave us, not when they reach you: delivery depends on the carrier and where you are. We will email you the moment yours is shipped, with a tracking number. Shipping dates for later batches will be shown here before we take those orders. The details are in our preorder and shipping policy.
- Where do you ship?
- The game ships within the United States, with flat-rate shipping of $7.99 added at checkout, or $18.99 for priority shipping. Order three or more games and standard shipping is free.
