Lafayette Wine Gift Delivery Tips
Festival International
In late April, Festival International brings huge crowds downtown. Order early and avoid downtown deliveries that week.
Oil Center offices
Oil and gas offices have reception desks and gift policies. Confirm the office can sign for alcohol.
College students
Most UL Lafayette students are under 21, and wine can only be delivered to someone 21 or older with ID. Wine gifts are better for faculty, staff, parents and graduates.
Heat and humidity
Louisiana is hot and humid for much of the year. From May through October, choose a savory basket and pick a day when someone will be home.
Hurricane season
From June through November, storms can pause deliveries along the Gulf Coast. Check the delivery date at checkout and avoid ordering when a storm is in the forecast.
Hospitals
Ochsner Lafayette General and Our Lady of Lourdes may not accept alcohol for patients. Send to the recipient's home instead.
