SHIPPING POLICY
For residents outside of California, you have the choice of two shipping companies: FedEx nationwide and UPS. All California resident shipments utilize GSO (Golden State Overnight). The best value shipping carrier will automatically be selected for you at checkout based on your shipping state.
All shipments containing alcohol must be signed for. It is illegal to ship to a P.O. box.
Taxes are applied at checkout based on your shipping address.
Unfortunately, it is not feasible for us to have licenses in all states. We are currently unable to ship to the following: AR, DE, ME, MS, NE, NJ, RI, UT, VT, or WV.
Special Notes
ALABAMA residents: All orders must be shipped to an ABC liquor retail store where you will pay state taxes and a form must be filled out and submitted to us prior to shipping. Please download the forms below and email the completed Direct Import Authorization to Caston (caston@palomavineyard.com) if you are interested in shipping to Alabama. Once submitted, you can proceed with placing your order on our website.

KENTUCKY residents: Kentucky has created an additional tax associated for out of State alcohol purchases of 10% applied to 70% of the retail cost of the purchase. Unfortunately, this is a cost that we will have to pass on to the customer. You will see an additional tax applied to your bill at checkout. Additionally, Kentucky still has “dry zones”, therefore we are required to have our Kentucky customers sign an affidavit confirming that they do not reside in a “dry zone” prior to shipping any wine. Thank you kindly for your understanding.
