Wisconsin Wine Gift Delivery Tips
Winter cold
From November through March, freezing temperatures can damage wine left outside, and snowstorms can slow deliveries. Pick a day when someone can sign and bring it inside.
Packers Sundays
A game-day basket makes a great gift, but deliveries usually arrive on weekdays. Order a few days ahead so it's there before kickoff.
Up North cabins
Many homes in the Northwoods, Door County and the Wisconsin Dells are seasonal or vacation rentals. Confirm the recipient will be there, and check with the rental company first.
Rural addresses
Farm and rural recipients may need an extra day for delivery, and wine can't go to a P.O. box. Ask for a physical address where someone 21 or older can sign.
Fort McCoy
Fort McCoy near Sparta has restricted access. Ask for an off-base address where someone 21 or older can sign.
College towns
Madison, Milwaukee, Eau Claire and La Crosse are home to UW campuses and Marquette. Wine can only be delivered to someone 21 or older with ID, so it's better for faculty, staff, parents or graduates.

Milwaukee and Southeast Wisconsin
Milwaukee, Waukesha, Brookfield, Wauwatosa, Mequon, Racine and Kenosha include corporate offices, hospitals, breweries and Marquette. A staffed office is often easiest on weekdays.
Madison and South-Central Wisconsin
Madison, Middleton, Janesville and Wisconsin Dells include state offices, UW–Madison, Epic in Verona and resort water parks. Many students are under 21, so wine gifts are better for faculty, staff and alumni.
Green Bay, the Fox Valley and Door County
Green Bay, Appleton, Oshkosh, Sheboygan and Door County include Packers country, manufacturing offices and summer cottages. Confirm the recipient will be at any Door County vacation home.
Eau Claire, La Crosse and Western Wisconsin
Eau Claire, La Crosse, Wausau and Hudson include river towns, UW campuses and Twin Cities suburbs. Hudson is near Minneapolis but in Wisconsin, so double-check the state on the address.
Wisconsin Wine
Wisconsin's cold winters are tough on grapes, but wineries grow cold-hardy hybrids like Marquette and La Crescent and make fruit wines from local cherries and cranberries. The Wisconsin Ledge AVA includes Door County, and Wollersheim Winery near Prairie du Sac is one of the state's best-known and oldest wineries.
The gift baskets on this page don't include Wisconsin wines. They feature wines from California, Italy, Spain, Chile and France, chosen to suit a wide range of tastes.
