How does wine gift delivery work in San Diego?
- Choose a gift: a gift box, a single bottle, or a few bottles you pick yourself.
- Enter the recipient's address as the shipping address at checkout, not yours.
- Add your message in the order notes. Our gift boxes include a handwritten card.
- Order by 2 PM, Monday to Friday, for next-business-day delivery anywhere in San Diego County.
An adult 21 or older has to sign for wine, so send it where someone will be home, or to their office. For more on how delivery, shipping costs and our quality guarantee work, see wine delivery in San Diego County.
Can you pick up a gift in person?
Yes. Choose local pickup at checkout and your order is ready within 24 hours at our La Mesa location. It's the easiest option if you want to hand the gift over yourself.
What's the best wine to send as a gift?
If you don't know their taste, send sparkling wine; nearly everyone is glad to open it. For a red-wine lover, a small-estate Napa Cabernet or an Oregon Pinot Noir. For someone who loves trying new things, a natural or orange wine. For a San Diegan, a bottle made right here in the county is a lovely touch. Our full guide, the best wine gifts for every budget, has picks from $20 to $100+.
What about corporate gifts in San Diego?
For clients and teams, our Corporate Gifting Box includes two or three bottles in branded packaging with a personalized card, and custom branding is available on larger orders. Local deliveries make last-minute client gifts easy. Read corporate wine gifts for clients and teams for budgets and etiquette.
Can you send a wine gift outside San Diego?
Yes, to every state we can legally ship to; see the states we ship to. Outside the county, delivery takes 1 to 3 days on the West Coast and 3 to 7 days to the East Coast by ground. If the recipient is in a state we can't ship to, send a digital gift card, delivered by email.
What about the holidays?
December is the busiest shipping month of the year. Order early in the week and as early in the month as you can. We publish exact cutoffs for local delivery and UPS each year on our holiday shipping deadlines page. San Diego County recipients get the latest cutoffs of all.
Which San Diego areas do you deliver to?
All of San Diego County, including La Mesa, El Cajon, Santee, Lakeside, Spring Valley, Alpine, Jamul, Ramona, Julian, Poway, Chula Vista, Coronado, Downtown and every coastal city from Imperial Beach to Oceanside. See our pages for El Cajon, Alpine and Descanso.
