Vine & Cellar Closure
We’ve loved being part of your wine journey, but we’ve made the difficult decision to close later this year.
When is Vine & Cellar closing?
Vine & Cellar will only be open while supplies last! Once we sell out of inventory, the website and customer accounts will no longer be accessible.
What will happen with my order?
All orders will be processed and shipped as usual.
As of the October 7, 2025, new shipment holds will no longer be available or accepted. If you previously selected a shipping hold for up to 14 days for an order, we will contact you to arrange for delivery of your order within two weeks of October 7, 2025.
What if I need to return an order?
Return requests will need to be made within 30 days of placing your order. By law, we are only allowed to accept returns of alcoholic beverages if they were (i) purchased or received in error or (ii) damaged when received.
To process a return request, please contact our customer support team at Vine.Cellar@VineCellarReserve.com to address the issue. Please refer to our Terms of Use for full policy details.

Shipping your order
Do you offer shipping in my area?
We currently only offer shipping to California addresses. We do not offer delivery to P.O. boxes, regardless of where in California they are located.
Do shipping fees apply to orders placed on Vine & Cellar Reserve?
Yes, shipping fees apply for all Vine & Cellar Reserve orders and are based on the average rates charged by our carrier and the size of your order.
How long will it take for my order to be delivered?
If orders are placed before 2 PM Pacific Time (Monday-Friday), they will typically ship same-business day. Otherwise, orders will typically be shipped the following business day. Once shipped, transit times are typically 1-2 days from our warehouse in Southern California. Unforeseen circumstances may occur and impact typical order processing and shipping times. You’ll receive a confirmation email when your order has shipped with more information on how to track your shipment.
Can I have my order shipped on a later date?
As of the October 7, 2025, shipment holds will no longer be available or accepted. If you previously selected a shipping hold for up to 14 days for an order, that hold will be lifted, and we will contact you to arrange for delivery of your order within two weeks of October 7, 2025.
Do I need to be present at the time of delivery? Who can accept my order?
Someone age 21 or over with a valid photo identification must be present at the time of delivery to provide identification, accept, and sign for delivery, as alcoholic beverages are an age-restricted item. If someone 21+ years old is not present at the time of delivery, delivery will not be made. Our carrier will likely leave a delivery notice if the initial delivery attempt was unsuccessful and will make two additional delivery attempts before the order is returned to our warehouse. If this happens, please contact Customer Support for next steps.
Do you deliver to businesses?
Yes, we deliver to business addresses in California, subject to shipping limitations, see above “Do you offer shipping in my area?”. We do not offer delivery to P.O. boxes, regardless of where in California they are located.
