Our verdict

Tilden suits US drinkers who want a cocktail or alcohol-free box delivered on a schedule they set, with monthly, every two months and quarterly to choose from. Entry pricing starts at $35 and box sizes of 1 to 6 bottles keep a first order small.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Box sizes of 1 to 6 bottles let a first delivery test the range without committing to a full case
  • Pace belongs to the customer: deliveries follow monthly, every two months and quarterly, so gaps can be set rather than inherited
  • The range covers cocktails and alcohol free, so alcohol-free drinkers are served in the same box as cocktail drinkers
  • Chat support appears in email, chat and help centre, a channel only 21.9% of clubs in this category list

Cons

  • The bottle guarantee is a no, in line with 71.4% of clubs in the category, so breakage is not replaced
  • Deliveries are limited to US, which rules out buyers living elsewhere
  • On starting price it sits at 28 of 33 brands listed, so it is well down the table of entry prices here
  • Support runs on email, chat and help centre only, with no phone line published for anyone who prefers to talk to someone

Who it suits

  • US drinkers who want a curated cocktail delivery on a schedule they set, using monthly, every two months and quarterly
  • Households still deciding on quantity: 1 to 6 bottles covers a small trial order and a larger case
  • Mixed households that want alcohol-free covered in the same range, since cocktails and alcohol free includes it

Who should look elsewhere

  • Wine club shoppers: The Wine Society lists wine club, wine shop and spirits, a range Tilden does not attempt
  • Pick-your-own shoppers: Total Wine covers wine shop, spirits and cocktails, so a box subscription is not the only route
  • Bourbon buyers: Bourbon Concierge lists spirits, which points the opposite way from a cocktail-led club

Core features

Tilden keeps the box narrow. A delivery runs to a size of 1 to 6 bottles, so a first order can stay small and a later one can grow, which lets a drinker learn the range before committing to a case. The one thing the club does not add is a bottle guarantee, and that is a no here, so a bottle that breaks in transit is not replaced and the cost rests with the customer. The two facts trade against each other: flexible sizing keeps the entry decision small, while the missing guarantee means a mixed selection is chosen at your own risk. Buyers who know what they want can order a larger box in one go, and buyers who do not can move gradually. A wider box spreads the same risk across more bottles, while a single-bottle order keeps the exposure to one bottle.

The company behind it

The club is run by Tilden Cocktails, Inc., headquartered in the United States, which makes it a single-market operation rather than a brand with offices elsewhere. Support runs on email, chat and help centre, so help arrives by email, chat or a help centre, with no phone line published. Most contacts here are about deliveries and box sizes. Written-first support suits a repeat-order business where most contacts are about delivery timing and box size rather than complicated cases, and a help centre lets a drinker check an answer before writing. It suits readers who would rather not queue to talk to someone, and it is a reasonable default for a club built on recurring orders. The trade-off is that a question needing a conversation has to be typed out, which is slower for anyone who prefers voice, and the same written setup has to carry first-time questions as well as repeat ones.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a Tilden box cost?+

Entry pricing starts at $35 for a box, and sizes run to 1 to 6 bottles, so a larger box costs more in total while spreading that cost across more bottles. The figure is a starting price rather than a fixed rate for every box, and no separate renewal price is set out alongside it.

Is the price a one-off or does it repeat each delivery?+

Tilden quotes $35 as the starting price for a box, and no separate renewal price appears with it, so read that number as the cost of entering the first delivery. What you control is the rhythm: monthly, every two months and quarterly means the timing of later deliveries is your decision rather than a fixed term you sign up for.

How many bottles come in a box?+

Box sizes run to 1 to 6 bottles, so there is no single fixed count. A smaller order suits tasting across the range, while a larger box suits a household that already knows what it drinks. Delivery timing sits separately on monthly, every two months and quarterly, which means the quantity and the pace of orders can be set independently.

How often do deliveries arrive?+

You choose the pace from monthly, every two months and quarterly, which spans several gaps between deliveries rather than one fixed rhythm. Monthly deliveries are the common setting across the listings on this site, and this club offers that alongside longer gaps, so someone who drinks slowly or travels often is not pushed into the fastest schedule.

Can I get alcohol-free drinks as well as cocktails?+

The range covers cocktails and alcohol free, so alcohol-free options sit alongside the cocktails in the same club rather than in a separate shop, which matters for mixed households. The comparison is useful here: Total Wine lists wine shop, spirits and cocktails, so an alcohol-free buyer can shop single items there instead of waiting for a box.

Where does Tilden deliver?+

Deliveries stay in the United States, and the operator is headquartered in the United States, so the service is built around a single home market rather than international shipping. For readers based elsewhere, one of the other clubs listed, or a local drinks shop, is the more practical route to the same kind of box.

How do I get help if something goes wrong?+

Support runs on email, chat and help centre, so questions go by email, chat or a help centre, with no phone number published. Chat suits a quick question between orders, and email suits anything that needs detail or a photo attached. On a club that ships only in the United States, written channels cover most of what a customer is likely to need.

What happens if a bottle arrives broken?+

The bottle guarantee is a no, so breakage is not replaced as standard and the cost rests with the customer. That position is common rather than unusual: 71.4% of clubs in the beer and spirits category share it. Anyone expecting a replacement for a damaged order will not get one from this club.
