Richmond Wine Gift Delivery Tips
State employees
Virginia state employees have gift rules. The Capitol and state offices may not accept alcohol, so send to a home address.
Rowhouses
Many Fan and Church Hill homes are rowhouses or split into apartments. Include the unit number.
College students
Most VCU 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
VCU Medical Center and Bon Secours may not accept alcohol for patients. Send to the recipient's home instead.
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.
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.

Only if the student is 21 or older and can show ID.
What's the best wine gift to send in a Richmond summer?
Choose a savory basket such as the Classic Red Wine Gift Basket or the Chianti Wine Italian Gift Basket, since chocolate melts in the heat. Send it where someone will be home.
