These are the forces that propel us forward in our lives. These are the characteristics that we seek in ourselves and others. Our company, TYGE, was founded on the strength of the human spirit, and we infuse every bottle of wine we produce with our ruggedly individual approach to winemaking. We have been farming in the same way for four generations, since a time when lands were still undiscovered and wild places were still unexplored. Our wine club was founded on a nostalgic sense of adventure: to venture forth into uncharted territory with good wine, good people, and good times, and to have a good time doing it. Creating the finest, most flavorful, and fearless wines that reflect our own sense of adventure is our mission. We hope to broaden the horizons of our palates through our work. Our founder is fond of saying that "every bottle is an adventure," and this sentiment extends beyond the flavors contained within. The wine we drink, like the food we eat, is meant to be shared—it is a source of shared adventures, just like the food we eat. We'll drink, eat, mingle, and discover new things at Club Tyge as a group. Our goal is to motivate you to seek out and experience new things on your own. Additionally, you can be the author of your own story.

Menlo Circus Club
190 Park Ln, Atherton, CA 94027, USAABOUT MENLO CIRCUS CLUB A group of young girls met on an Atherton Estate around 1920 to ride their horses and play. These girls created a "club" and decided to put on a circus for the delight of their parents, friends, and neighbors, as young children do. The mother of one of the girls, Mrs. W. B. Weir, offered that the revenues of the circus be donated to the Stanford Convalescent Home (now known as Lucile Packard Children's Hospital). The first circus was hosted on the W. B. Weir property at Middlefield Road and Glenwood Avenue in the summer of 1920. Youngsters rode their own horses and ponies, while others brought along pet cats, goats, and dogs that they had trained to perform stunts. The Stanford Convalescent Home received $500 from the first circus. The circus flourished the following year. Adults turned the circus into a social gathering, attracting visitors from as far north as San Francisco and south as San Jose. The circus grew in size, as did the social event, in the third year, and it became clear to parents that the circus had overrun the two fields. Land was purchased in the fall of 1922 for the creation of the Menlo Circus Club, which was formed the following year. AVAILABLE EVENT SPACES The Menlo Circus Club, located in the heart of Atherton, provides welcoming and gracious accommodations for private events such as Weddings, Holiday Gatherings, Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, Class Reunions, Birthday Parties, and Cocktail Receptions. The large entrance immediately sets a classy tone that is appropriate for any occasion. For your event, the Clubhouse can accommodate up to 350 people. Each suite boasts a different view of the Club's lushly maintained grounds. Our beautiful dishes have been painstakingly picked by our amazing culinary experts, and we provide private outdoor events overlooking one of the Bay Area's finest Polo Fields.
