General questions

Some general questions about Vinifero.

Vinifero is an online shop for organic, biodynamic, and natural Italian wines.

We provide single bottles or monthly boxes.

We will soon broaden our products and services. Stay tuned!

Vinifero was founded by Francesco, like many of us he appreciates a glass of great wine. His favorite? A white from Friuli or a good Barolo.

Although he comes from a totally different background (finance), over the years he has developed a keen interest in wine. He studied in Bordeaux (International Wine Business Management) and in Milan (WSET up to level 3).

He runs Vinifero from Basel, where he lives with his wife, his daughter, and their rescue dog Prugna.

Every wine we offer has been tested by Francesco and by local sommeliers, restaurateurs, and other wine connoisseurs.

Every time we select a wine, we try to answer these two questions: Is it grown organically, biodynamically, or naturally? Would we drink it ourselves?

If the answer to both the questions is yes, it goes directly into Vinifero range!

We will deliver the wines to the address indicated by you and in the manner specified in the order summary.

Upon delivery, please verify the content of the delivery and, in case of anomalies, send us an email at hello@vinifero.ch as soon as possible. You may also refuse to accept the parcel if visibly damaged.

We ship all of our wines from a specialized food and drinks warehouse and your wine is shipped in eco-friendly protective wine packaging to ensure it gets to you in pristine condition.

We aim to process orders as quickly as possible; the wines should be with you within 2-3 working days.

If you made any mistake (due to inaccuracy or incompleteness) during the purchase, no problem. Write us an email at hello@vinifero.ch and we will do our best to fix the error.

Once the package is handed over to the Post, unfortunately we cannot help you anymore.

If the package is not received or collected at the time or within the deadline specified, it will be returned to our warehouse, but don't worry! We will contact you to schedule a second delivery attempt or to agree on the future course of action.

Unless otherwise agreed, any delivery attempt starting from the second shall be at the User’s expense.
