Alexandria Wine Gift Delivery Tips
Federal employees and contractors
Federal employees and many contractors have strict gift rules. Send personal gifts to a home address, not a federal office.
Old Town rowhouses
Historic rowhouses sit on narrow streets with tight parking. Pick a day when someone will be home.
High-rises and apartments
Many residents live in high-rises or apartment buildings. Ask whether the front desk can sign for alcohol, and include the unit number.
Summer heat
Virginia summers are hot and humid. From June through September, choose a savory basket and pick a day when someone will be home.
Waterfront flooding
Lower King Street can flood in storms and high tides. Allow extra time.
Hospitals
Inova Alexandria Hospital may not accept alcohol for patients. Send to the recipient's home instead.
