Frequently Asked questions 

How long does it take to get into Hye Society? 

Only a day or two while we process your information! As many of our current members can attest, we have long utilized a wait list for Hye Society in order to ensure that we had enough wine to satisfy the demand of our club and look after the needs of our most loyal customers. However, because we've had to temporarily close our tasting rooms and halt our events, we find ourselves with an excess of wine inventory that we now have an opportunity to share with more William Chris fans.

NOTE: Total spaces in Hye Society are still limited, we are just currently accepting new members without a wait list process.  

Logistics and Payments

If you chose to have your wine shipped, an adult signature is required and a business address is recommended. Cancellations and order changes must be received 30 days before shipments are processed - an e-mail reminder will be sent to you. Credit cards will be stored in member profile and charged in advance of each shipment and is non-refundable.

Returns and Cancellations

We will replace or refund you for any bottle of wine that is damaged, flawed or that the customer finds unsatisfactory. We ask the customer return the unfinished portion of the original bottle for replacement. By law, we cannot accept returns of alcoholic beverages unless the product is corked, or flawed. We are also unable to accept return of wine that was damaged due to adverse weather conditions during shipment, or wine that is ordered in error.  A 15% restocking fee will be applied to all canceled orders.

Wine Club Cancellations

All wine club cancellations MUST be made 30 days prior to a wine club release. You will receive an e-mail reminder the month prior to your shipment prompting you to update your wine club information.

Given the limited quantities of wine set aside especially for our Hye Society members, we are unable to give refunds after wine club orders are processed.

Please e-mail wineclub@williamchriswines.com to confirm your cancellation.
