WINE INDUSTRY EDUCATION SERIES


Leasing a Tasting Room:
Regulatory, Pricing and Legal Issues

 

There is growing interest in using leased tasting facilities as the public face of "virtual" wineries and for those wineries which are either inconveniently located or too small to warrant an on-site tasting room.  A number of legal and practical concerns are relevant to the establishment and operation of tasting rooms.  This program will describe the zoning and land use issues that determine the permitted locations of tasting rooms and relate those limitations to the suitable locations in Sonoma and Napa counties and their respective cities.  

Discussion will include the following:

Alcoholic beverage control requirements
Availability and rates in today's market
Practical and legal issues in negotiating leases
