Benefits of Guild Membership

 

One of the things we have observed over the years is that many businesses in the hospitality industry cannot afford insurance programs for their staff. Further, because many people change their place of employment within the industry on a regular basis they don't qualify for a program through their employer. Add to this the fact that many businesses are getting out of the business of providing insurance benefits for their staff.

The International Wine Guild is a professional wine organization and wine school that offers a full range of benefits for active members. We now have in place the following programs for members.

As an active member you can obtain:

• Health Insurance
• Disability Insurance
• Life Insurance
• Home and Auto Insurance
• Wine Cellar Insurance
• Estate, Wealth and Retirement Planning

As a business owned or managed by an active member you can obtain:

• Group Health Insurance
• Disability Insurance
• Life Insurance
• Business Liability and Business Auto Insurance
• Commercial Wine Cellar Insurance
• Business Valuation, Appraisal and Exit Strategies

All Guild members also receive discounts on wine purchased through our on-line partners, as well as other discounts from associated businesses. Please contact the Guild for details.

As an individual or business we also offer discounts from affinity members. Want to learn more? Contact our benefits manager at benefits@internationalwineguild.com.for more information. If you have general questions about the Guild contact us by clicking here.

We are very pleased to have benefits like these in place. Many people in the industry cannot get benefits through their place of employment. By getting these benefits through the Guild you can change employment without worrying about what happens to your benefits. The Guild is not issuing insurance as an employer, you will pay for the insurance, and it is simply providing a way to have insurance that is not linked to an employer and offers better rates than typical individual policies.

Benefits are available for both Friends of the Guild (associate membership), as well as full professional members. To become a full member of the Guild you must successfully complete either the Guild Certification Seminar, Advanced Wine Course, or the Intensive Study Advanced Wine Course.
