Prerequisites
- Members must be 21 years of age or older.
- Members must have a valid CREDIT CARD on file to receive society orders and benefits. The primary credit card on file will be charged at least two (2) weeks before the wine is shipped or available for pick up.
- Members must make a minimum one (1) year commitment, four (4) quarterly shipments, to join the society. Wine Society Memberships are ongoing with auto renewal and can be canceled once the society order minimum requirement has been fulfilled.
Wine Selections
- Each quarter, you will be provided with a SOCIETY MANAGERS SELECTION. Selections will vary based on seasonal appropriateness, availability, and special features.
- One (1) month prior to each quarterly release, you will receive an email notifying of the SOCIETY MANAGERS SELECTION for the quarter. Through that email, you can follow the link to securely customize your order. At this time, you may also update your credit card and shipping preferences.
- Customizations will be due two (2) weeks prior to the quarterly release date.
- Cost of each quarterly release will vary based on Society Managers Selection and/or customizations but will always include the 20% off society member discount.
Billing
- Every quarter, four (4) times per year, your credit card will automatically be billed for the retail price of the wines less your 20% discount, plus shipping, packaging, and any applicable states taxes. Quarterly Wine Society Costs can range from $60 – $200+, depending on wine selection and customizations.
- Members will be charged for their wine shipments, typically two (2) weeks prior to the quarterly release. Please ensure you have updated credit card information on file. To update, please login to your Vino Shipper Account, created during society enrollment, or contact us via email at [email protected].
Shipping Information
- Shipping rates vary by state and weight/quantity. If you have any questions, contact us via email at [email protected].
- Wine must be signed for by an adult 21 years of age or older. For this reason, we cannot ship to a P.O. Box and strongly recommend shipping to an address where an adult 21 years or older is available to sign for the package.
- The quality of our wines is guaranteed when signed for on the first delivery attempt.
- You will be emailed when the shipping label is created and again with tracking information once the carrier scans your package. These details will be sent to the email you provided. Check to be sure that it isn’t sent to your spam or junk inboxes. Please check directly with the carrier for the most accurate delivery estimate so you can ensure someone is present to sign for your wine. Ground delivery typically takes 1 – 7 business days, depending on your state’s proximity to Colorado.
- Our shipping carrier is UPS. To best manage your deliveries, we strongly recommend you sign up for UPS MY CHOICE. It is free to sign up and allows you to request more services to simplify delivery, such as vacation holds or appointment delivery through this program, which only the recipient can select.
- The carrier will make three delivery attempts before returning the package to us. If you know you will not be able to sign at the time of delivery, or if you receive a notice the package missed its attempted delivery, please reach out directly to UPS customer service at 1-800-742-5877. You may be able to arrange to pick the package up at a local facility. Please note, carriers will only hold packages for 5 days. Or have the package sent to an alternate address. Please note, changing the delivery address will incur an additional expense.
- It is your obligation to update account information before the beginning of a shipment month. Misdirected shipments and delivery difficulties may result in additional shipping charges.
- To update your account information, please log into your account through vinoshipper.com, or you can reach us via email at [email protected].
- We may automatically hold shipments during time of extreme weather to ensure your package arrives successfully.
- We discourage shipping wine as a surprise gift, as packages containing alcohol require the signature of someone over 21 at the time of delivery. When gifting wine, we ask that you communicate with the recipient so they can expect a package that needs a signature. We also ask that you provide an email address for the recipient, so they can receive tracking information and best prepare for a successful delivery.
- If you need your wine shipped during a specific time period, please notify our wine society manager via email at [email protected] With advance notice, we are happy to change your ship date to ensure delivery.
Returned Shipments
- Members are responsible for all shipping charges including those incurred due to misdirected and/or returned shipments.

Pick-Up Members
