Native wineries; authorize to make sales at one satellite location in same county.
SB 2555 allows Mississippi Native wineries to sell directly to consumers at one additional location within their home county, in addition to their primary winery site. This change directly affects Native wineries by expanding their sales options without requiring them to operate outside their county. The bill amends existing law to explicitly permit this single satellite location for direct consumer sales, while maintaining other sales restrictions. The law became effective after the governor signed it on March 21, 2025.
