Frequently Asked Questions

Wine

Billing and Shipping

Do I have to be home to receive my wine?

When UPS, FedEx, or GSO delivers your wine, they do require a signature from an adult age 21 or older to deliver your package. They will not leave the package without an authorized signature.

Why can't you ship to my state?

Unfortunately due to state laws regarding alcohol delivery, there are restrictions on alcohol shipments to certain states. We are unable to make any exceptions to these rules and regulations.

Do you use UPS or FedEx?

Both, depending on the state we’re shipping to.

I'd like to order wine for the holidays. When should I place my order so it arrives on time?

Always plan in advance and keep weather conditions in mind as UPS, FedEx and GSO do not have temperature-controlled vehicles. Plus, shipping delays are common during the holidays due to winter weather and increased deliveries so be sure to order on the early side!

Am I able to return wine?

No, unfortunately our wines are non-refundable as the product would be considered opened and damaged. But we are more than happy to offer you a discount or credit on your next purchase until you find your favorite wine.

Vineyard

Can we visit the vineyard? If so, can we bring children/pets?

We don’t currently have guests visit us, as we prefer to focus on providing great wine for your personal gatherings!

Do you offer wine tastings?

We don’t offer wine tastings, but we are currently working on a sampler of our wines so you can get the chance to try them all at once.

Do you have a wine club?

Not yet, but we are looking forward to providing this option for loyal Byrd customers in the future.

Do you offer private events or tours?

No, we do not currently host any private events or tours.

Wine

How many calories are in a glass of your wine?

Each glass of wine is approximately 150 calories, depending on the type of wine.

Are your wines organic?

Yes, all of our wines come from grapes grown on-site at our vineyard. Our grapes are grown without the use of any chemical fertilizers, pesticides, or artificial substances. Our wines are also vegan.

Can I buy Byrd Wines in stores?

No, Byrd wines are not currently available in stores as we are a small vineyard that focuses on small batches of delicious wine.

How do your wines taste different from lower altitude wines?

Our high-altitude wines are high in phenolic compounds, low in tannins, and deep in color. Wines from higher altitude tend to be richer in flavor and higher in acid than wines from low altitudes.

Do you offer custom label wine services?

No, but it’s something we’d like to offer in the future.

Are your wines vegan?

Yes, all varieties of our wines are vegan!
