COVID-19 Update March 26, 2020
Options During the Current Global Health Crisis
Online Ordering with Product discounts and Free Vancouver Island Shipping until March 26, 2020
While travel restrictions remain in place, we are extending discounts normally offered only to those who have subscribed to our online news to everyone without the need to enter coupon codes.
With our regular sources of income no longer available during this crisis, we are offering temporary special pricing for online orders to help us and our employees survive the crisis.
25% off our 250 ml bottles of Classic Balsamic Vinegar (by the bottle and additional discount by the case)
25% off wines (within Canada)
10% off jams (while quantities last)
Note that we can ship our balsamic vinegar and jams internationally, but cannot ship wine to destinations outside of Canada.
Visiting us
We continue to take the COVID-19 crisis very seriously. With the difficulty in enforcing the “social distancing” rule of at least two metres (about 6 feet) between all guests and staff, we are no longer offering wine tastings or accepting visitors to our wine shop. As long as people are still permitted to leave their homes, we can offer drive-in pick-up service where we will open the gate for you and deliver your order to your vehicle in guaranteed sanitary recyclable packaging.
Order online or call 250-743-5630 to leave your order and request a time to come by to pick it up. Do not leave your home if you are coughing or sneezing or in any way feeling unwell.
We are now offering free delivery by Canada Post Expedited Parcel to Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland
We have increased our product discounts to help offset shipping to other areas.
Wine orders can be shipped to BC and other permitted Canadian locations. Proof of age must be presented and a signature is required to receive any packages containing wine.
Sign up for our e-News below this blog or from our website home page to hear about events, special offers and current coupon codes for special pricing when ordering online. We send out news three or four times per year.
A reminder: Like us on Facebook and Share Something Happy!
This crisis is affecting everyone emotionally and financially. During these challenging times, we invite you to share something positive on our Facebook page to help lift spirits, including photos and things your are doing personally to stay active and healthy.
“Social distancing” at least two metres from others and frequent hand-washing with very warm soapy water are two of the main keys to success in reducing the spread of COVID-19, but that does not mean you must stay indoors unless ordered by health authorities to do so. You can still do outdoor activities such as playing with your kids in the yard, gardening, bike riding and hiking away from crowds, just do so safely. Emergency personnel have enough on their plate!
If you are self-isolating indoors and need something, there are lots of community groups on Facebook with volunteers waiting to help. Seniors with non-medical related inquiries can phone the Office of the Seniors Advocate toll-free number at 1-877-952-3181. For medical questions, please phone 8-1-1.
All the best,
Marilyn, Giordano and Michelle
