Kirkland Signature Champagne isn’t made in a Kirkland Signature factory, as the brand doesn’t make its own products and instead outsources to other well-known companies. The Kirkland Signature Champagne is produced by Manuel Janisson, based in Virginia, and has vineyards in California. 

Which Company Makes Kirkland Signature Champagne?

Manuel Janisson is a Virginia-based company with vineyards in California. It is responsible for the production of Kirkland Signature Champagne.

Though this specific champagne isn’t the best in the world, it’s one of the most reasonably priced champagnes on the market and does not taste half bad.

Who Is Manuel Janisson?

The Manuel Janisson company has a long history and was created by two men- Manuel Janisson and Claude Thibaut.

It’s reasonably indicative by their names that both of these men are French, and it is no surprise that they began their wine journeys in France.

At one point, both men started to produce their own sparkling wines, and when Manuel Janisson decided to head to California to start his business, the men decided to team up.

Manuel Janisson and Claude Thibaut then introduced their own brand of champagne to the United States, and now their sparkling wine is consumed worldwide.

Interestingly enough, the likelihood of you being able to find the Manuel Janisson label on the product in the United States is quite slim.

The reasoning is that Manuel Janisson operates as a private-label company (mostly) in the United States.

Therefore, the brand’s bottles will be labeled with the company they’re sold under, i.e., Kirkland Signature Champagne, and are sold at Costco.

Where Can You Buy Kirkland Signature Champagne?

As mentioned previously, finding Kirkland Signature Champagne is easy when shopping at your local Costco Wholesale store.

It can be found in the liquor department of the massive warehouse.

You can buy most Kirkland Signature products online through Costco.com or third-party retailers such as Amazon.com or Instacart.com.

Of course, it will depend on the state in which you live and your store location on whether ordering alcohol online is possible.

However, if you decide to purchase Kirkland Signature Champagne in person from your local Costco, it is important to remember that you may need to obtain a Costco membership.

(You will find solutions to getting around not having a Costco membership to buy alcohol later in this article.)

Is Kirkland Signature Champagne Produced in France?

The Kirkland Signature Champagne has its roots in France, but it is no longer produced in France and is now produced in the United States.

One thing is for sure—if the wine was produced in France, the Kirkland Signature brand would not be able to offer it for the low price it does.

Do You Need to Be a Costco Member to Buy Kirkland Signature Champagne?

As mentioned, Kirkland Signature Champagne and other alcohol can be purchased from Costco without a membership.

The easiest way is to tag along with a friend on a shopping trip who already has a Costco membership.

Or, if you want to go on a different day than your friend, ask them if they will pick you up a Costco gift card, otherwise known as a Costco Cashcard.

With a Cashcard, you will not be required to have a membership to shop at Costco.

It’s also a good idea to take note of the legal conditions of the state where you live, as some states across the United States don’t allow stores to sell liquor under a membership program.

Listed here are 12 states that will allow you to buy alcohol without a Costco membership:

• Arizona
• California
• Connecticut
• Delaware
• Hawaii
• Indiana
• Massachusetts
• Michigan
• Minnesota
• New York
• Texas
• Vermont
