Moving Your Tasting Room

[bdkolstad]

Good morning! We have an opportunity to move our tasting room from a rather industrial, off-the-beaten-path location, to a high-traffic area in a very cool Main Street building. My question is, what kind of hoops do you need to jump through to make this happen at the Federal level. I don't think we'll have any problem with the state or the city. The rent is $250/month and we can be in there before Christmas. We have t-shirts, books and, of course, our vodka (soon gin and whiskey) to sell.

Thank you.

Cheers/ Brian

An off site tasting room is just a retail store. TTB is not concerned with retail stores.

In Washington, I assume you would have to have a dif license for an offsite tasting room. Wouldn't it become a bar? In some states you would have to buy your own liquor from a wholesaler or the state. Then you may not be able to sell only your product.
