Corporate Gifting FAQ: Sending Napa Valley Wine & Farm Food as a Gift

We’re a family-owned winery and organic farm in Napa Valley — about 100 acres of grapes, fruit trees, olives and vegetables, farmed by real people dedicated to regenerative and organic practices. Our corporate gifts come from that farm: estate wine, preserves made in our farm kitchen, olive oil pressed from our own trees. Here’s how the program works, start to finish. If you’d rather talk it through, email gifting@cliffamily.com.
How Corporate Gifting Works
What is the minimum order for corporate gifting? Plus

There's no minimum. We'll build a corporate gift order at any size, from a few gifts to several hundred. A couple of things do scale with quantity: custom packaging like branded gift bands has its own production costs and lead times, so what's possible depends on how many you're sending and when you need them. Tell us the quantity and what you have in mind, and we'll walk you through the options.

How do I place a corporate gift order? Plus

Two ways. Build it yourself at gifts.cliffamily.com, or email gifting@cliffamily.com and we’ll build it with you. Larger and fully custom programs run through our concierge service: we set up a project for your company, price it, collect your recipient list and invoice you. You approve; we execute.

Do you offer volume pricing on corporate gifts? Plus

Yes, starting at 10 gift sets. Tell us about your budget per recipient and how many people you’re sending to, and we’ll come back with options that fit.

Can you invoice our company? Plus

Yes. We send an invoice with all line items, shipping along with a payment link. We start building your gift sets once payment is confirmed.

How far in advance should we order corporate gifts for the November and December Holidays? Plus

September or October is not too early — especially for logo’ d packaging orlarge recipient lists, which need lead time. Ordering early also means first pick before limited wines andartisan foods sell through. Later is still doable: we work backward from our shipping cutoffs (Nov 17 for Thanksgiving in western states, Dec 15 for Christmas), and after December 21 we move to e-gift cards that arrive instantly.

Custom and branded gifts
What’s in a Clif Family corporate gift? Plus

Wine from our estate vineyards and food from our farm — olive oil, organic jams and preserves made in our Organic Preserve Kitchen. Our collaboration sets add accessories like wine totes and insulated tumblers. Start from our curated sets, or we’ll build something from scratch.

Can I gift a wine tasting in Napa Valley? Plus

We pour seven days a week at our tasting room at 709 Main Street in downtown St. Helena, and we host virtual tastings for people who can’t get to Napa. The simplest way to give a tasting is a gift card, so the recipient books the date that suits them. For a virtual tasting, email virtual@cliffamily.com.

Can I gift a wine club membership? Plus

Our memberships… The Wine Drop, The Cab Drop and Mangia! — are ongoing releases rather than a one-time purchase, so they’re built to be joined. Email membership@cliffamily.com and we’ll find the best way to do it for the person you have in mind.

What makes Clif Family's corporate gifts sustainable? Plus

Three things. We farm about 100 acres in Napa Valley organically… grapes, orchards, vegetables and olive trees — certified through CCOF. We're a Certified B Corporation, so our environmental and social practices are independently audited and re-verified. And we're a partner of American Forests, supporting their forest restoration work across the country.

Can you create custom corporate gift boxes? Plus

Yes, at 10 gifts and up. We build the set around your budget, the occasion and the people receiving it, and we can include your own branded swag alongside ours.

Can you add our company logo to the gift? Plus

Yes. We offer custom gift boxes and bands carrying your company logo and printed logo cards included with the gift. We do not offer bottle engraving.

What if some recipients don't drink? Plus

We have gift sets with no wine in them at all. Our favorites are the Berry Jam Trio, Just Add Cheese and the Artisan Snack Happy Hour — all built from what we grow and make on our farm in Napa Valley.

Can each recipient get a different message? Plus

Yes. Through our gifting portal you can write an individual message for every recipient — no sending the same line to two hundred people.

Can we let recipients choose their own gift? Plus

Yes. With an e-gift, recipients receive a link, choose from a curated set of options and enter their own shipping address. We recommend three choices — enough to feel personal, few enough to be easy. You’re charged the tier price when they redeem.

Can we schedule when the gifts are sent? Plus

Yes. Send immediately, or choose a future date and time, and we’ll hold to it. E-gifts can be scheduled the same way, so they land on the morning you want them to.

Recipient lists and addresses
How do we send you our recipient list? Plus

This is a super easy process. If you are doing self-serve gifting via our gifting portal, you will be instructed to upload your CSV File. Or if you are working with our Gifting Sales Manager directly with your order, they can provide the link for you to use or share with whoever holds that list... useful when that person isn't you.

What if a recipient address is wrong or incomplete? Plus

We run every list through automated address validation, which catches missing suite numbers and typos before anything ships. You’ll see what needs fixing and can correct it in your file.

Can we change an address after ordering? Plus

If the package hasn’t shipped, yes — email gifting@cliffamily.com with the order number and the new address. Once it’s with FedEx, the fastest fix is for the recipient to redirect it through FedEx Delivery Manager.

Can we add recipients after we’ve placed the order? Plus

Yes, though a later addition starts with its own lead-time clock. If you know more names are coming, tell us up front and we’ll plan inventory around it.

2026 Holiday Deadlines For Bulk Orders
For Delivery By Thanksgiving: Thursday, November 26th Plus

Corporate gifting orders close earlier than consumer orders.

Shipping and delivery
How do corporate gifts ship? Plus

Via FedEx from the Clif Family Napa Valley warehouse. Every recipient receives a tracking email once their label is created.

Does someone have to sign for a wine delivery? Plus

Yes — every package containing wine requires an adult signature (21+), so we can’t deliver wine to a PO box. Office deliveries are usually straightforward; for home addresses, it helps us to tell recipients a package is coming and to point them to FedEx Delivery Manager so they can reschedule or redirect.

Are there states you can’t ship wine to? Plus

A few:

• We cannot ship wine to Utah, Mississippi, Rhode Island, Delaware or Arkansas.

• We cannot ship wine directly to a recipient in Alabama, but we can ship it to a local ABC store for pickup.

• Alaska and Hawaii are not eligible for flat-rate shipping.

• No PO boxes for wine — an adult signature is required on delivery.

If recipients live in those states, we’ll swap in a food-only gift so nobody on your list gets left out.

Can you ship to Canada or internationally? Plus

Not at this time — we ship within the United States only. We can reach all 50 states: in the handful where direct-to-consumer wine shipping isn't permitted, we send a food-only gift set instead. If your list includes recipients outside the U.S., let us know and we'll take care of the domestic portion with you.

Our recipients have tracking numbers, but nothing is moving. Plus

A created label doesn’t always mean the box is on the truck, especially in December. Wait for the first carrier scan before assuming something is wrong — and if it still looks stuck, send us the order number and we’ll chase it.

After the Gifts Arrive
A gift arrived damaged — what happens? Plus

We send a replacement. Email gifting@cliffamily.com or call (707) 968-0625 with the order number and, if you have it, the recipient’s name.

A recipient wants to know who sent their gift. Plus

Have them contact us with the order number or their delivery address, and we’ll tell them who it’s from, including the message you wrote.

Can our recipients contact you directly? Plus

Yes. Point them to (707) 968-0625 or winery@cliffamily.com. We’ll handle tracking, tasting notes and the “what do I do with wine jelly” questions so your team doesn’t have to.

Can we run the same program again next year? Plus

That’s the idea. We keep your account, past orders and recipient lists on file, so a repeat program is a conversation rather than a project.

Other Ways To Host Clients And Teams
Do you host virtual tastings for remote teams? Plus

Yes, seven days a week, year-round. We curate a box of wine and artisan food products to be delivered to your guests. We provide the Zoom link and a host. Want to learn more? Email: virtual@cliffamily.com.

Can we bring a group to the Tasting Room? Plus

Yes. We’re at 709 Main Street in downtown St. Helena, with our food truck on site, and the San Francisco Chronicle named us one of the top wineries to visit in Napa Valley in 2026. Email wineryexperience@cliffamily.com or call (707) 968-0625 to arrange a group visit.
