Salem Wine Gift Delivery Tips
October crowds
Salem is packed all October for Halloween events, and downtown streets close. Avoid October deliveries downtown, or order early.
Historic homes
Many homes in the McIntire District are historic houses divided into condos. Include the unit number.
Nor'easters and cold
Winter storms can slow deliveries, and freezing temperatures can damage wine left outside. From December through March, pick a day when someone can sign and bring it inside.
College students
Most Salem State 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.
Hotels and inns
For a guest at a Salem inn, call first to confirm someone can sign for an alcohol delivery.
Hospitals
Salem Hospital may not accept alcohol for patients. Send to the recipient's home instead.
