Charlottesville Wine Gift Delivery Tips
College students
Most UVA 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.
Virginia wine lovers
Virginia has its own wine country. A Napa, Cakebread or Champagne gift makes a nice change for local wine fans.
Rentals and resorts
For a guest at a hotel, resort or vacation rental, contact the front desk or host first and include the guest's name and dates.
Farms and estates
Homes in Ivy and Keswick are on long drives and country roads. Include the recipient's phone number.
Graduation and game weekends
Hotels fill up for UVA graduation and football weekends. Order early.
Hospitals
UVA Health may not accept alcohol for patients. Send to the recipient's home instead.
