INFO ON SHIPPING FROM WINERIES
If you want to travel light, shipping wine is a fairly painless way to receive the wines you loved the most.
Most wineries offer to ship wine directly to guests. Many offer a price list “to go” and another “shipping included” where the price of the wine includes the shipping cost. The minimum volume tends to be 6 or 12 bottles.
Standard shipping time is usually around 3-5 weeks (Europe, of course, is faster). Different shipping companies may have restrictions on where they cannot ship to (eg Canada), so do ask at each winery.
If you ship from one of the wineries, please make sure you take their contact information so you can communicate directly about your shipment (we at Grape Tours will have no info about it).
COLLECTING WINES DURING THE TOUR AND SHIPPING AT THE END
Should you perhaps like to pick up bottles at the different wineries during the day, you can ship them from our meeting point at the end of the day (the Fomaggioteca). Please notice that this service is not available on Sundays.

If you do select this method of shipment, please make sure to:​
-
Fill in the SHIPPING FORM with the number of bottles and their indicative value. Remember to put full shipping address, phone number & email for the shipper. IMPORTANT: in the box "SPECIAL REQUEST FOR DELIVERY" please put your credit card number, date of expiration, and CVC. If you do not put all these details, the shipper will not be able to process your shipment efficiently.
-
Drop bottles off at Formaggioteca Terroir and make sure your boxes are clearly marked with your name & the name of Grape Tours (the staff at Formaggioteca will be glad to help you).
​
Should you not fill up your potential shipment during the day, you could always purchase a few extra bottles at Formaggioteca Terroir where you will find a great selection of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and wines from lovely organic wineries around Italy and France.
​
NB: Shipments can contain wine or olive oil, but cannot contain spirits like for example limoncello or grappa.
