Domestic Shipping

Please allow a 24-hour turnaround time for confirmation and shipment on all orders. For example, wine orders received on Monday by 5 pm PST will be sent out on Tuesday. You are given several shipping options at the time that you place your order, and only at certain times of the year is UPS Ground Shipping an alternative. We encourage you to think carefully about the weather before selecting the less expensive UPS Ground Shipping, as NVWE cannot be responsible to damage to your wine from hot weather or cold weather. We do, however, recommend ground shipping for CA, OR, and WA unless you request faster service. For all other states, UPS and Fedex two and three day air service are most often recommended. During periods of extreme hot or cold weather, we reserve the right to hold your order and ship when better conditions are met. Shipping to a residence is slightly more expensive and results in more failed deliveries than shipping to a business address - shipping to a business addresses is strongly encouraged.

We ship to many places however all wines are sold in California and ownership passes to the buyer in California.

Disclaimer

Online Orders

By placing your online order, you represent that you are 21 years of age. All shipments of alcoholic beverages within the United States require an adult's signature at the time of delivery (another good reason to ship to a business address!)
