SF 1938 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Amount of wine a winery may produce with a brewer taproom license modification

This bill amends Minnesota law to increase the annual wine production limit for wineries seeking a brewer taproom license. Currently, wineries producing more than 250,000 gallons of wine annually are barred from obtaining such licenses; the bill raises this threshold to 750,000 gallons. This change directly affects larger wineries that previously exceeded the 250,000-gallon limit but now qualify for brewer taproom licenses. The key provision modifies Minnesota Statutes section 340A.26, subdivision 2, to allow these wineries to operate taprooms serving both wine and beer.
