Last Updated: October 28, 2025

Welcome to Thomas Fogarty Winery (“Fogarty Winery, LLC,” “we,” “our,” or “us”).

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of our website, online store, and related products, services, and digital communications (collectively, the “Services”), which are hosted and powered by Shopify.

By using the Services, you agree to these Terms, our Privacy Policy, and all applicable laws and regulations, including those governing the sale and shipment of alcoholic beverages.


1. Eligibility & Age Restriction

You must be 21 years of age or older to purchase alcoholic beverages through the Services.

By placing an order, you represent and warrant that you are at least 21 years old and that the recipient of any shipment is also at least 21 years old. Deliveries require the signature of an adult 21+ with valid government-issued identification.

We reserve the right to cancel or refuse any order if age verification cannot be completed or if shipment is not permitted to your location.

 

2. Compliance With Shipping Laws

Thomas Fogarty Winery complies with all applicable U.S. and California laws governing direct-to-consumer wine shipments.

We currently ship only to states where we are legally licensed or where shipment is otherwise permitted. You are responsible for knowing and following the laws of your jurisdiction regarding the receipt of alcoholic beverages.

Orders placed for prohibited delivery areas will be cancelled and refunded.


3. Orders, Pricing & Availability

All prices are in U.S. dollars and may change without notice. Product availability varies and may be limited.

By completing a purchase, you authorize us (and Shopify Payments or our payment processor) to charge your designated payment method for the total amount including shipping, handling, and applicable taxes.

We reserve the right to correct any errors in pricing or availability and to limit quantities per customer.

 

4. Returns, Exchanges & Refunds

Due to state and federal regulations, alcoholic beverages generally cannot be returned except in cases of defective, damaged, or incorrect shipments.

If you receive a damaged or incorrect item, please contact kaitlin@fogartywinery.comwithin 10 days of delivery.

Refunds or replacements will be processed according to California law and winery policy.

 

5. Subscriptions & Memberships

If you join our Wine Club or subscription service, you authorize recurring charges to your payment method as outlined during sign-up.

You may modify or cancel your subscription at any time before the next billing cycle. Club memberships are subject to state laws governing recurring shipments of alcoholic beverages.
