How does VinConnect work?
VinConnect acts as the direct-to-consumer channel in the U.S. for its winery partners. We work closely with many of leading Europeean wineries to create and administer mailing list and club programs that enable U.S. customers to buy wine directly from them (through us).
Each winery has its own mailing list, and offers the wines it selects at the frequency it chooses. Those wines are then transferred to the U.S., forwarded along to our warehouse in Sonoma, CA, and shipped on to you.
How do I get started?
1) Go to our home page and input your email address
2) Select available winery mailing lists to join
3) Begin receiving news and offers directly from those wineries
How do I order?
1) When you receive an email containing an allocation, simply reply to the offer with your quantities desired within the offer window (usually two weeks)
- If it is your first order with us, we will contact you directly to gather information to set up your account to expedite future order processing: credit card, billing address, shipping preference, ship to address, and phone number.
2) At the close of the offer window, all orders are processed and you will receive a receipt via email confirming your order with a general timeframe for expected delivery.
- Depending on the winery and the offer, your wine should generally arrive in 4-6 weeks (see Shipping).
