Credit Card Charges

Orders are by credit card only. We accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express.

Minimum Purchase

No minimum purchase is required.

Wine is a Delicate Commodity

Wine is a perishable commodity. Wine does not like extremes of temperature: hot humid summer and cold winter weather may adversely affect the condition of your wine during shipment.  We guarantee all our wines and therefore may elect to hold your wine in our climate controlled warehouse if inclement weather would provide adverse conditions for the wine.

Returns & Cancellations

We are able to cancel orders for a full refund up to 90 days from purchase date and/or as long as the order has not shipped yet. To cancel an order, please email info@zerbacellars.com with your order number or call 541-938-9463. 

Due to the temperature-sensitive nature of wine, we are generally not able to accept returns on wine orders that have already been received by the purchaser or gift recipient. The exception would be if a member of the Zerba Cellars staff is responsible for the error (i.e., the wrong wine was packed). To inquire about this policy, please email info@zerbacellars.com
