Michaelangelo Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Ok, I'm confused and seek wisdom. Where specifically does it say that I cannot have my manufacturing in one space and my tasting room and retail sales in another space across town? I am asking because I have seen this same set-up in two other distilleries and several wineries. I was under the impression that sales of bottles was only permitted in the same building where the product is made. Can anyone shed some light on this?

Mars Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 I am not a lawyer, nor from Illinois, but my understanding is that in NY one cannot do anything that is not expressly permitted. Maybe you should ask your state government? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluestar Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 It is in the state law, below. Still, there are issues of interpretation as to what the premises are. It can't be the TTB definition of distillery premises, because you can not conduct sales on such premises. A person licensed as a craft distiller not affiliated with any other person manufacturing spirits may be permitted to receive one retailer’s license for the premises in which he or she actually conducts business permitting only the retail sale of spirits manufactured at such premises. Such sales shall be limited to on-premises, in-person sales only, for lawful consumption on or off premises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristian Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 In Colorado we can have 2 tasting rooms. It's a state thing so check with Illinois. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
