Fairfax 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.
Office buildings
Many offices have security desks or mailrooms that may not sign for alcohol. Confirm with the recipient, and check that the employer allows alcohol gifts.
College students
Most George Mason 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.
Hospitals
Inova Fairfax Hospital may not accept alcohol for patients. Send to the recipient's home instead.
Winter weather
Snow and ice can shut down roads for a day or two. Order early in winter and pick a day when someone 21 or older will be home.
Townhomes
Many residents live in townhome communities with similar street names. Use the full address and unit number.
