THE DOCENTE VINEYARD SOCIETY
Utah Members
Utah law does not allow home delivery of wine. As a Utah member of the Docente Vineyard Society, you order through the state’s Department of Alcoholic Beverage Services (DABS) special-order system — and we handle the paperwork for you.
How the Utah Special Order Works
Step 1 — Join the Vineyard Society. Contact us to select your box (Family, All Reds, or Full Collection) and confirm your Utah membership.
Step 2 — We submit your DABS special order. Once your seasonal shipment is ready, we file the special-order paperwork with the Utah DABS on your behalf.
Step 3 — DABS notifies you. When your wine arrives at the state warehouse, DABS sends you a pickup notice.
Step 4 — Pick up your wine. Collect your shipment from the designated Utah DABS state store. That’s it — your Tuscan wines are in hand.
Utah Pricing
Because your wine is processed through the DABS system, Utah pricing includes state-imposed markups and fees.
6-Bottle Box — ~$189.50
12-Bottle Box — ~$369.65
For comparison, ship-to-door states (CA, WY, FL) pay $179.30 / $349.25 + shipping.
Utah prices are approximate and subject to DABS markup schedules.

Every member chooses one of three curated boxes, shipped each season.

Utah FAQs
Why can’t wine be shipped to my door in Utah?
Utah state law requires all wine to pass through the DABS distribution system. Home delivery of wine is not permitted.
How long does the DABS special order take?
Typically 4–8 weeks from the time we submit the order, depending on DABS processing and import schedules.
Where do I pick up my wine?
At the DABS state liquor store designated in your pickup notice. You’ll choose your preferred store location when you join.
Why is the Utah price higher?
DABS applies its own markup and processing fees on all special orders. The difference is entirely state-imposed — Docente’s base pricing is the same for all members.
Do I need my own DABS account?
We handle the special-order filing for you. You may need a DABS customer number, which we’ll help you set up if needed.
Can I cancel my membership?
Yes — you can cancel at any time. Note that the annual membership fee of $1,000 is non-refundable for the current year.
