Shipping Policy
At Dawn’s Dream Winery, we’re committed to delivering your wine safely, quickly, and in the best possible condition. Please review the details below regarding our shipping methods, warm-weather precautions, and state compliance.
Order Processing & Delivery
- Orders typically ship within 1–3 business days.
- Orders placed after Thursday at 12:00 PM PT will ship the following week.
- We do not ship on Fridays, weekends, or holidays to avoid wine sitting in transit depots.
- UPS is our primary carrier, and an adult signature (21+) is required for delivery.
- For best results, we recommend shipping to a business address or a local UPS Store. UPS Stores will hold your package for up to 5 business days (a $5 hold fee may apply).
Warm Weather Shipping (June–August)
To protect your wine from heat damage:
- Next Day Air is required for shipments during June, July, and August.
- We offer this service at a 70% discounted rate and include ice packs at no additional cost.
- If you select a non-expedited shipping method during these months, we cannot guarantee or replace wine damaged by heat.
- If temperatures in your area exceed 80°F, we strongly recommend Next Day Air regardless of the season.
- Prefer to wait? You may select a future ship date at checkout to avoid warm-weather risks and extra costs.
Wine Club Shipments
Wine Club emails are sent 2–3 weeks prior to billing, including important updates and customization options.
- UPS is the default carrier for Wine Club orders.
- Tracking information is sent automatically when your order ships.
- Pick-up members are asked to collect their wines within 60 days of release or request that we ship the wines.
