Shipping policy
Government Regulations
The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario regulates wineries’ sale and distribution of their products in Ontario. It has firm rules that apply to the sale and delivery of wine, most notably the requirement that alcohol can only be delivered to a person 19 years of age or older, who is not intoxicated. Therefore, the delivery agent acting on behalf of Pillitteri Estates Winery Inc. is obligated to ensure your age is 19+ (two photo IDs may be required, if the agent requests confirmation) and obtain your signature before handing over the order.
Freezing Damage Policy
Pillitteri Estates Winery is not responsible or liable for damage to product in transit due to freezing. Some couriers may leave shipped wine in non-climate-controlled environments and this may cause the wine to freeze. Please be aware that this damage is not covered in our return and refund policy and will be at the buyer’s expense. If the temperature in Niagara is extremely low at the time of shipping, we will delay shipment to protect from freezing. However, we cannot monitor temperatures at all points throughout transit. If there is an extreme freezing risk in your area and you would like to delay delivery, please make a note of it in your order and we will delay shipping of your order.
