La Crosse Wine Gift Delivery Tips
Minnesota is across the river
La Crescent is in Minnesota. Wine ships there too, but double-check the state.
College students
Most UW–La Crosse and Viterbo 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
Gundersen Health and Mayo Clinic Health System may not accept alcohol for patients. Send to the recipient's home instead.
Oktoberfest
The fall festival brings big crowds downtown. Order early.
Bluff roads
Homes on the bluffs are on steep, winding roads. Include a phone number and allow extra time in snow.
Winter cold
Wisconsin winters bring snow and below-zero days that can slow deliveries and freeze wine left outside. Pick a day when someone 21 or older will be home to sign and bring it in.
