Can I leave a note for the package to be left when I am not there?

Can I specify the delivery time of the order?

No, you will be notified of the shipment and the day of arrival. We recommend having delivered to a place of work where someone is present during business hours.

Why can't the wines be shipped to all 50 states?

When the 21st Amendment was added to the Constitution, it was left to individual states to set the laws pertaining to the importation and shipment of alcohol within its borders. As a result, each state has different laws regulating the shipment of wine and compliance issues are very complex.

Can I send wine to multiple addresses?
Yes. It is possible to send wine to multiple addresses, however because shipping regulations vary by state, you must complete separate orders for each address, and check out completely in between transactions.
Can I request a specific delivery window or delay my wine shipment to avoid extreme weather?

Yes, if you have a specific arrival period in mind, or will be away on vacation at the time you purchase wine, it is possible to delay your shipment during the checkout process by leaving a note in the "Instructions for Winery" section.

As you know, wine can be damaged by exposure to extreme weather, such as extreme heat or to freezing temperatures. During times when wine is at risk of being damaged, we recommend you include a note during the checkout process to alert VinoShipper to place a hold on shipment until a specific date. To track the shipping status of your order, refer to the tracking number on the email confirmation you received.
