5 Wine Shipping Options When Visiting Napa and Sonoma Wineries

Last Updated on May 20, 2019

During our trip to California, we made it our mission to visit a number of wineries in Sonoma and Napa Valley. Naturally, this led us to purchase many bottles (15 to be precise) and a need to figure out how to get them safely to our home on the east coast. As information for this is rather limited, we thought it would be helpful to publish a detailed guide for wine shipping options for your visit!

Based on our experiences, there are five popular ways to ship wine from Sonoma and Napa wineries in order to enjoy some delicious bottles at home. But, as with all things with moving bottles of wine, there are some risks and costs involved.

As such, the following is organized from cheapest / most risky to most expensive / least risky as you proceed down. This assessment is based on our experience only.

Over time this added up, and I concluded that my account was more or less dead in the water. I had to do something, and my test to revive it was born.

Last Updated on April 9, 2019

Travel blogging is on its way out. There is no doubt about it.

It has been something I've seen coming for quite some time based on my 10+ years in the industry, but now I see that the day is quickly approaching.

While I actually believe the ship is sailing for many blogging niches, travel blogging is going to be among the first to feel it.

Today, I want to dive down into why I think that is with some stark predictions for the future.
