a safe place for your wine, for as long as you need
Chaperone Wine Services is a national leader in interim wine storage. If you're selling your house, moving, renovating, retiring, or getting a collection ready for auction, and you need a safe place for your bottles in the meantime, we have a solution. Most of our clients need medium-term storage, anywhere from a couple of weeks to a couple of years, with no long-term contract and simple month-to-month billing.
Because storage is rarely the whole job, we handle the legs on either side: we pick the wine up, keep it climate-controlled and secure while you're in transition, and deliver it wherever you land next. For the security of every collection we hold, we don't publish our storage location, but give us a quick call and we're glad to walk you through it. Access is by appointment during regular business hours.
three steps, start to finish
we pick it up
Trained professionals collect your wine from your home in a refrigerated vehicle. If your wine is already packed, great, if not we'll pack everything in high-quality boxes.
we store it
Secure and climate-controlled at 55°, month to month, for as long as you need.
we deliver it
When you're ready, we bring it wherever you're headed, anywhere in the country.
climate-controlled storage
As you already know, wine needs to stay at 55 degrees to avoid spoilage, and that's exactly how we hold it, year-round. We can hold it for as long or as little as you want, everything is month-to-month, no long-term contract. What we hear from clients is that we're easy to reach and our prices are competitive. When you want it back, whether a single bottle or the whole collection, we bring it to you.
national & local transport
Our local team handles every pickup and delivery in person, and we reach the rest of the country through our freight network and regional crews. Our drivers are trained specifically to pack and load wine and keep it cold the whole way. A single case or an entire cellar, we handle it the same careful way.
sommelier services
We offer inventory, appraisal, and full cellar organization, handled by certified sommeliers. Whether you are valuing a collection for sale, settling an estate, or simply want a clear record of what you own, every bottle is logged and accounted for.
Most of our orders are in Park City and Salt Lake City proper, and we cover the Wasatch Front from Ogden down through Provo. We make regular runs into the mountains, to Jackson, Big Sky, Bozeman, Billings, and Aspen, and both Denver and Las Vegas are within our range. We ship anywhere in the country.
frequently asked questions
can I access my wine while it's in storage?
Yes. Your wine is palletized and accessible by appointment. This works best when you don't need daily or weekly access.
how far do you ship?
Anywhere in the country. We are currently unable to handle orders to Mexico and Canada.
how can we get the best price on wine transport?
There are two ways. First, plan ahead, since last-minute orders cost more. Second, pack the wine yourself in regular boxes, not the oversized "shipping boxes."
can you ship my wine fridge?
Our insurance is exceptional, but it only covers wine. Our crews are experts in moving wine safely, not appliances.
