Title

Small farm wineries, authorize to sell to consumers or distribute to retailers

Description

Under existing law, a producer of alcoholic beverages may only sell its product to distributors or wholesalers, or directly to consumers in limited quantities at its licensed premises.

This bill would allow licensed wineries that produce locally sourced wines and are below a certain size, known as "small farm wineries," to sell and transport their table wines directly to licensed retailers or to sell directly to consumers, under certain conditions. Transportation of the table wine must be made by the winery's employees in a vehicle owned or leased by the winery.

This bill would require small farm wineries to collect and remit certain taxes in certain circumstances.

This bill would authorize the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board to adopt rules to implement this act.
