FAQ'S




How long does it take for my order to process?

Depending on the size of your order and destination, it could take up to 2 business days to process. If there are weather holds, it may be delayed until the weather hold is lifted. Once your order is processed it will be shipped with your selected shipping method and you will receive an email notification with tracking information. Transit times vary based on shipping method.


Can the carrier leave the wine on my doorstep?

No, wine must be signed for by an individual at least 21 years old. A business address where someone will be present to sign during regular business hours is preferred.


What if I am not at home to receive the wine?

FedEx will attempt to deliver on 3 consecutive delivery days, and they will hold the package an additional 5 days before returning it to us.
