Know exactly what you have before your move begins. Our inventory service documents your collection bottle by bottle — giving you an accurate record and peace of mind that nothing goes unaccounted for.
If you prefer to do this on your own, you can download our Wine Inventory Sheet to use if you do not have one. Some of our clients also find CellarTracker to be an excellent option for keeping an online inventory of their collection.
We supply the right materials and pack your collection using wine-specific methods designed to protect every bottle during transit. At your destination, we unpack and rack – leaving your cellar ready to use from day one.
Temperature-controlled conditions aren’t a feature we offer — they’re the foundation of everything we do. Your collection travels door-to-door in refrigerated vehicles, from first pickup to final delivery, with no gaps in climate control.
Our network spans the U.S. and extends internationally to the U.K., France, and Hong Kong — giving us the reach to handle even the most complex moves. Locally, we use temperature-controlled vans and smaller trucks that can navigate cellar stairs, tight driveways, and storage facility access points. For interstate hauls, climate-controlled long-haul carriers move your collection to our destination hub, where local delivery takes over. The result is a seamless, end-to-end cold chain managed entirely by our team.
Typically most pickups that occur at the home or a storage facility will require smaller temperature-controlled vans or small trucks. For Interstate shipments, temp-controlled long-haul carriers perform the transfer to our final destination hub. Final local delivery, again, are typically handled by temperature-controlled vans or a small truck to navigate smaller roads, driveways and access points at wine storage facilities.
The Wine Mover’s temperature controlled logistics network is unparalleled and provides our clients with a seamless and customized solution.
Our insurance coverage is built specifically for wine — not adapted from a generic cargo policy. While in our care, your collection is protected against:

If your client has a wine collection that needs relocating along with it household goods, you add on the complexity of having to relocate that collection in temperature-controlled conditions versus the other household goods.
