The first shipment in the Passport Wine Club membership is a "welcome shipment". It will contain:
- A welcome letter/wine appreciation newsletter,
- A Food & Wine pairing guide,
- Two wines from reputable wine region,
- A regional lesson,
- A convenient "luggage" folio to house your materials.
Note: A sturdy 3-ring binder will arrive in the member's 7th shipment to house more lessons as they continue with the program.
Members will receive 2 reds, 2 whites or mixed based on their preference. Your shipments will be tied to the particular region or topic covered during that month. (Ie. Spain, France, Italy, Wine Competitions, Awards & Ratings, etc.) We may also choose a wine that reflects the varietal grown in that region from another area. The program is designed so that eventually you will cover all of the wine regions/topics we explore.
The first Passport welcome shipment is delivered within days of ordering. Delivery time will vary depending upon state.
After the first month's welcome shipment, Passport continuous shipments continue based on the regional lesson being covered in that particular month. Passport continuous shipments are made during the first two weeks of the month and scheduled to land on or about the 15th of the month. Delivery time will vary depending upon state. If possible, choose a business address where someone over the age of 21 will be available to accept delivery
Dates will vary by state. We suggest you allow up to 2 weeks for delivery. Use a HOLD date wherever possible to ensure timely delivery for a special occasion.
All orders entered before the 20th of the month will receive their welcome shipment in month 1 and their subsequent shipments in month 2 and beyond. Orders entered after the 20th may receive the next month's wines depending upon when they are processed. For instance, if you want November wines as the welcome shipment, your order needs a Hold Date prior to November 20th to include these wines.
The member or the gift-giver can make cancellations by calling 800-782-WINE (9463). Cancellations on pre-paid orders are granted on a pro-rata basis. Cancellations must be made by the end of the month in order to stop the shipment for the following month.
A special hotline number is available to Passport members at 866-434-WINE (9463). This Passport line is offered to provide enhanced service for any membership questions or for Passport members to place orders in which they require personalized advice.

We have designed elegant gift cards especially for the Passport program. These gift cards are available for FREE and can be delivered to the gift giver (for ultimate delivery to the recipient) or mailed directly to the gift recipient. Included with the gift card is a brochure that explains the program.
Gift cards are available by phone only. Gift card requests should contain the following information:

Periodically, Passport members will receive offers to purchase additional wines. These offers come in the newsletter-style lesson with each regular monthly shipment and are detailed on the last page of the lesson.
Passport members will be able to reorder the wines they receive in our program for at least 3 months after a given wine has been used in a monthly shipment. However, often our wines are in limited supply and we cannot guarantee availability.
An adult over the age of 21 must sign for Passport Wine Club shipments. Therefore, consider sending Passport Wine Club shipments for you or your gift recipient to a business address for convenience. Also, please provide us with your gift recipient’s email address so that we can notify them of shipments and the full range of member benefits.
