Getting Your Grapes

Shipping Grapes in the U.S.

  • FedEx – Pails of frozen grapes or juice can be shipped to your door via FedEx from our Richmond CA and Chicago IL freezer locations. FedEx is not currently available out of Portland. This is typically the most cost effective shipping options for 1 – 10 pails. We cannot FedEx drums due to their weight.
  • LTL Truck Shipments – For large pail orders or any quantity of totes and drums, we can arrange LTL freight shipments out of all three freezer locations. You are also welcome to arrange shipments with your preferred LTL provider.
    More info on LTL Shipping
    Shipping costs change frequently in response to weather, road conditions and availability so we do not provide flat rates. We happy to provide a quote for an order. You will get the best rate the closer you are to filling up a pallet. For example, there is typically a small price difference in the cost of shipping 1 drum or when filling the pallet with 4 drums. Getting together with friends and sharing shipping is a great way to save! We have accounts with multiple shipping companies that provide us with substantially lower rates than our customers typically receive for single orders. Brehm Vineyard’s charges a $50 coordination fee when we make shipping arrangements. You are welcome to arrange for your own shipping without the fee.

Fresh Grapes Available at Harvest

Pre-Order for the upcoming harvest year launches in May! Fresh grapes grown in California are available at our processing site in Petaluma, CA at Stage Gulch Vineyards. Oregon and Washington grapes are processed in Underwood, WA at White Salmon Vineyards. Please note, we do not ship fresh grapes as we cannot guarantee quality.

When it’s time to pick . . . we pick!

Brehm Vineyards monitors each varietal throughout the growing season in order to harvest grapes at their peak potential. Please be patient with us as mother nature sometimes has a mind of her own. We will work with you on scheduling your pick up and give you as much notice as possible at the time of harvest. This may be up to week of advance notice, or in rare cases, we will give you a call the day before.

Please Remember: You are responsible for bringing your own bins/containers to receive your grapes/juice and provide your own transportation.  If you’re picking up a half-ton of fruit or more, please deliver your bins in advance.
