WINE CLUB POLICIES

Membership Minimums 
There is no initiation fee to join Miner Family Winery’s wine club. However, we ask our guests to commit to at least two shipments before any holds or cancellation requests are made. Fees will apply for early cancellation. 

Pre-shipment Notification
The wine club team sends out an email about 10 days prior to the club shipment processing day. This allows members to update credit card or shipping addresses, make customizations to the shipment, or place account holds/cancellations.

Holds
Miner Family Winery allows members to skip up to two wine club shipments per year. If a third request is made, membership benefits are eligible for removal. 

Cancellations
All cancellations must be made in writing to wineclub@minerwines.com.  Cancellations must be in prior to the processing date.  Any cancellations made after the processing date will be issued their wine club shipment as their last club order. 

Customizations
The member will receive the pre-shipment notification email in advance, at that time the member is welcome to email, go online or call the wine club team to make any modifications prior to the listed processing date. Customization requests made after the processing date are not guaranteed. 

Shipping

Shipping ServiceAll club shipments are shipped via FedEx Ground, unless otherwise requested. Additional fees may apply.

Signature RequiredAll wine club orders need to be signed for by someone over the age of 21. We recommend shipping to a business address location to ensure someone will be around to sign. 

Alternatively, many members opt to have their club shipments shipped to a local FedEx Ship and Print store or a local Walgreens that accepts and holds local deliveries. Most will hold a package for 5 business days.

Please note, the local establishments are not required to notify you when the package has arrived. We recommend keeping track of the shipment through the emailed tracking link when the order leaves Miner Family Winery.

If after 5 days, the order has not been picked up by the recipient, the local establishment will ship the order back to us. Additional shipping fees will apply to get the order reshipped or rerouted.

Redirects or Returns All redirects or returns are subject to a FedEx fee. Please note, no reroute request is guaranteed.

We are unable to reroute an order over state lines. The original order will need to be recalled back to us and a new order will need to be shipped. The club member will be subject to a recall fee, plus the shipping cost of shipping the additional order.


RETURN POLICY

Miner Family Winery stands behind the quality of our wines. All wines are stored in a temperature-controlled environment and are in excellent condition when they leave for shipping.

We will only accept returns if the product is corked or flawed. If you open a bottle and find that it is defective, kindly return the unfinished portion of the original bottle and we will gladly exchange it. Please note, in some cases, the winery may offer replacement with a different vintage of the same wine.

Items to be returned are subject to evaluation by our staff and must be accompanied by your original sales receipt. Please contact Wine Club Manager Sarah Nunes for instructions: sarah@minerwines.com; 707.944.9500 ext. 31
