At Adversity Cellars, we know our wines represent more than just what’s in the bottle—they embody craftsmanship, patience, and the pursuit of excellence. That’s why we’re thrilled to introduce our Summer Shipping Solutions program, designed to ensure every bottle arrives in pristine condition, even during the hottest months of the year.

Wine is a living product, sensitive to temperature fluctuations. During summer, traditional ground shipping can expose your wines to heat spikes that compromise their integrity. At Adversity Cellars, protecting the quality of every bottle—crafted under the careful eye of Russell Bevan, a winemaker responsible for over 35 perfect 100-point wines—is paramount.

What is the Summer Shipping Solution?

Starting May 12th, Adversity Cellars is offering an exclusive Summer Shipping Solution for all new orders. This special program includes:

• Overnight shipping for the price of ground shipping. We’ve partnered with our carriers to offer expedited delivery without the premium cost, ensuring your wines spend less time in transit and arrive safe and sound.
• Thursday deliveries every week. We’ve chosen Thursdays as our target delivery day to optimize logistics and provide customers with a predictable delivery schedule.
• Personal coordination with every client. Our team will reach out to every customer prior to shipping to confirm delivery availability. We’re committed to making sure someone is available to receive the shipment to avoid exposure to heat.
• Optional cool shipping upgrades. For those seeking even more protection, we offer temperature-controlled shipping options for an additional fee.

By combining faster shipping speeds with personalized coordination, our Summer Shipping Solution provides peace of mind without compromising on convenience or cost.

Why Is Summer Shipping a Big Deal for Wine?

If you’ve ever received wine during summer, you know how risky it can be. Exposure to high temperatures—even for just a few hours—can lead to cooked or oxidized wine, flattened aromas, and dull flavors. A hot delivery truck or warehouse can undo the care and craftsmanship invested in every bottle.

Our Summer Shipping Solution directly addresses these risks. By using overnight shipping at no extra cost and coordinating delivery windows, we’re reducing the wine’s time in transit and ensuring it avoids prolonged heat exposure. It’s a proactive, customer-first approach rooted in our commitment to quality.

A Testament to Adversity Cellars' Dedication to Excellence

At Adversity Cellars, we believe great wine doesn’t happen by accident—it’s the product of passion, precision, and perseverance. Whether it’s our vineyard selection, our fermentation techniques, or our barrel choices, every step is taken with the utmost care.

The same philosophy guides our approach to shipping. Just as we wouldn’t cut corners in the cellar, we won’t cut corners getting wine to your doorstep. The Summer Shipping Solution is an extension of that dedication.

And it’s not just about protecting wine—it’s about protecting the experience. Every bottle of Adversity Cellars wine tells a story. We want you to experience the full arc of that story as our winemaker, Russell Bevan, intended—from the vineyard, to the bottle, to your glass.

How Does It Work?

Once you place your order with Adversity Cellars starting May 12th:

You’ll be contacted by our team to confirm the best delivery window.

We’ll ship your wine overnight (at ground shipping prices) to minimize time in transit.

Delivery will be scheduled for Thursday, unless otherwise arranged.

If no one is available to receive the shipment, re-delivery fees may apply. This is why we coordinate every order—we want to avoid missed deliveries that can expose your wines to additional risks.

We’ve designed this process to be seamless, transparent, and tailored to your schedule.
