Norfolk Wine Gift Delivery Tips
Naval Station Norfolk
Deliveries onto Naval Station Norfolk can be harder. Off-base homes are usually easier, so check with the recipient first.
PCS moves and deployments
Military families move often, and ships deploy for months. Confirm the recipient's current address, or send to a family member at home who is 21 or older.
Hurricane season
From August through October, coastal storms and nor'easters can flood streets and delay deliveries. Watch the forecast and order early.
Tidal flooding
Some low streets flood at high tide or in heavy rain. Pick a dry day and allow extra time.
College students
Most ODU 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
Sentara Norfolk General may not accept alcohol for patients. Send to the recipient's home instead.
