FAQ's
Everything you need to know about buying and subscribing to better French wine, direct from the importer.
What is Vintrepid?
Vintrepid is a direct importer of small-batch French wines, sourced from independent producers across regions like Burgundy, Loire Valley, Beaujolais and the Rhône. We curate wine boxes and subscription packs — all importer-direct, with no middlemen or bottle shop markups.
How does the Vintrepid wine subscription work?
Choose from two subscription options — the Discovery Pack (3 different wines, with the option to double up) or the House Pack (6 bottles you select).
Wines are delivered every three months, and you can pause, cancel or change your selection anytime.
What kinds of wines are in the packs?
All wines are French, small-batch, and made by independent winemakers. We focus on wines that are organically farmed, expressive of place, and often found on top restaurant lists — not supermarket shelves.
Can I try a one-off box without subscribing?
Yes. You can order any of our curated one-off wine boxes — no subscription required. Perfect if you're trying Vintrepid for the first time or want to send a gift.
How do I give Vintrepid as a gift?
You can send any wine box as a gift — just add your message at checkout and we’ll include a handwritten card.
You can also gift a subscription, or send a digital wine gift card if you want them to choose for themselves.
Is shipping included in the price?
Shipping is calculated at checkout based on your location and the size of your order. We deliver Australia-wide using trusted couriers. If you’re unsure, feel free to get in touch and we’ll confirm your rate.
Are your wines organic or natural?
Many of the wines we source are certified organic, biodynamic, or made with low-intervention techniques. We work with producers who farm sustainably and make wines with integrity.
Can I choose the wines I get?
Yes — in the House Pack, you select your wine from our curated rotating list and can change your mix any time.
The Discovery Pack is a curated selection — but you can choose whether to receive 3 bottles or double up to 6 (2 of each).
Where do you deliver?
We deliver across all of Australia — metro and regional. If your address is outside standard coverage, just contact us and we’ll do our best to help.
Who selects the wines?
Our founder, Chris Harag, worked across Europe sourcing wine for Michelin-starred restaurants. Every bottle in a Vintrepid box is handpicked based on quality, authenticity and value — not label or hype.
What makes Vintrepid different?
We are the importer — not a reseller. That means you're getting direct access to incredible French wines at better prices, with full transparency and no fluff. No middlemen. No overhyped labels. Just wine worth drinking.
