Rethinking your 2025 wine supply chain services? Let's chat. Stop by our booth #A2303 at the Unified Wine & Grape Symposium on January 29-30.

The journey from grape to glass is more complex than most realize. Wineries juggle transportation, storage, labeling, compliance, and customer fulfillment—often across multiple vendors—making consistency and visibility a challenge.

Yandell Companies takes a different approach. As a fully integrated wine logistics provider, they bring transportation, warehousing, value-added services, and DTC fulfillment together in one connected system.

With a dedicated fleet, 900,000+ sq. ft. of climate-controlled warehouses, and in-house relabeling, repacking, and inspection, Yandell simplifies the supply chain—giving wineries fewer handoffs, faster timelines, and better control.

DTC shipping has become one of the most dynamic—and demanding—channels in the wine industry. Club members expect their shipments on time. Allocated releases need to arrive flawlessly. And a single broken bottle or late delivery can turn a loyal customer into a lost one.

Yandell Companies has shaped its DTC fulfillment model with those stakes in mind. From temperature-controlled handling to secure, wine-specific packaging, their team focuses on preserving both the product and the brand experience at every step.

What sets us apart isn’t just care in transit—it’s the integration behind the scenes. Because Yandell also manages storage, transportation, and value-added services in-house, fulfillment isn’t a disconnected final step. It’s part of a seamless flow that starts the moment the wine leaves the production line.

This integration enables Yandell to quickly adapt to seasonal demand spikes and last-minute order changes without sacrificing accuracy or speed. Our experienced staff understands the nuances of wine handling, from fragile glass to temperature sensitivity, and we apply that knowledge to ensure every shipment meets exacting standards.

That level of continuity means faster turnaround times, fewer errors, and a higher level of confidence for wineries sending shipments out to customers nationwide.

Whether you're managing a monthly club or a one-time release, Yandell brings a hands-on, wine-literate approach to every box they ship—helping you protect what matters most: your reputation.

As the urgency to combat climate change intensifies, one of the significant initiatives is to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. This means that within the supply chain, every truck move counts. There is power in streamlining a company’s transportation to reduce the number of unnecessary truck moves and reduce its corresponding CO2 emissions.

You can derive your CO2 emissions by looking at how much freight you transport, the distance that freight travels, and the specific mode of transport used.  According to the Environmental Defense Fund, a 300-mile truck transport of a 20-ton freight will emit one metric ton of CO2 to the environment.
