Shipping Policy

Orders placed after 12:00pm PST are processed the following business day.

Delivery of the package depends on the distance from our winery and the day and time the order was received.

 

All orders are shipped Monday through Thursday and delivered Monday through Friday.

Orders are shipped through UPS Ground, unless expedited shipping is specified.

We do not offer International sales or shipping at this time.

 

UPS cannot deliver wine to P.O. boxes, so please provide a physical address where someone 21 or older can sign for the wine.

 

All packages containing alcohol must be signed for upon delivery by an adult (21 years of age or older). UPS will not leave such packages on the door step, even if the recipient has requested this.

 

UPS will attempt to deliver packages containing alcohol 3 times before sending it back to Orfila Vineyards & Winery. Orfila Vineyards & Winery is not responsible for additional shipping charges. If a package returns, please contact the Wine Club at their direct line, 760.738.6500 x 18 or call Orfila Vineyards & Winery toll free at 1.800.868.9463. A re-shipping fee will be applied to all orders that are reshipped.

 

Once your Wine Club Shipment, Online Store or Tasting Room Order has been processed and a change of address is required while in route, an additional shipping charge will be applied to the order under the sole discretion of management. Please contact the Wine Club directly at 760.738.6500 x 18 or Orfila Vineyards & Winery at 1.800.868.9463.

Orders of any Large Format Wine Bottles, 1 case, 12 bottles or 36lbs will be shipped in two separate packages. Shipping rates vary.

 

 

 

Due to many state and local laws, Orfila Vineyards & Winery is only able to ship wine to the states listed below. Some restrictions to states, zip codes and/or ordering limits are also below. These laws do not affect shipping of Non-Wine Products. We will be happy to ship orders not containing wine to any U.S. destination.

 

The laws regarding the direct shipment of wine are constantly changing. For more information and a state by state analysis of direct shipping laws, please visit the Wine Institute site.

Ohio residents please note the following: On July 19, 2005, a US District Judge declared Ohio's previous law prohibiting interstate wine shipments to be unconstitutional. At that time, it became legal for a winery to ship unlimited amounts of wine to Ohio consumers via common carrier. One provision of this decision is that local residents must file an Ohio Excise and Use Tax Filing along with the required payment of tax for every shipment. As the form states; all taxes due to the state of Ohio are required to be paid within 30 days of the receipt of your shipment.

Persons must be 21 years of age or older to shop on www.pontewinery.com or view our Online Store. By entering our website you verify that you are legally able to consume alcohol and understand all the risks (health, legal and other) that may occur by doing so.

 Wine may only be purchased and delivered to persons who are at least 21 years of age. By placing an order, you validate that you and the person who accepts delivery will be 21 years of age or older. When your wine is delivered, the person accepting delivery may be required to show identification. Wine will not be delivered to a visibly intoxicated person.

 

During hot weather (90 degrees and above) and cold weather (32 degrees and below), there is a high chance the wine will be damaged in transit. In the instance you would like wine to be shipped to an area affected by these conditions, we highly recommend selecting the Next Day Air shipping option. Orfila Vineyards & Winery is not liable for any packages damaged due to hot or cold weather.

 

 

If you are unable to sign for your wine package on any of the 3 delivery attempts, UPS will return your package back to the winery. You have the option to have the package held for pick up or reshipped for an additional shipping fee. Please contact us directly at 760.738.6500 x 18 or 1.800.868.9463 for any questions or concerns regarding delivery.
