Alcoholic Beverages - As enacted, authorizes a licensee that holds more than a 50 percent ownership interest in a manufacturer and a winery that are located on the same deeded property to offer product tastings and make retail sales for consumption on or off of such premises of its wine or spirits manufactured on such deeded property at a location on the overlapping premises other than on the bonded premises of the manufacturer or winery. - Amends TCA Title 57.
SB 111 allows liquor licensees who own at least 51% of both a winery and a manufacturer located on the same shared property to offer wine or spirit tastings and retail sales at a designated area on that overlapping property. It directly affects businesses operating under Tennessee's alcoholic beverage laws that own both a winery and a manufacturer on contiguous, deeded land. The key provision requires all products sold to be made on-site at that property, excludes bonded premises from the allowed area, and mandates shared ownership of both entities. This law amends Tennessee Code Annotated Title 57, effective May 5, 2025.
