To qualify for this endorsement, wineries and microbreweries must be located in Washington State and have a valid domestic winery or microbrewery license (a “microbrewery” produces less than 60,000 barrels of beer a year). In-state domestic breweries (breweries that product 60,000 barrels of beer or more) may apply if they meet the qualification for the reduced tax rate in RCW 66.24.290.
This endorsement allow you to sell your own bottled wine or beer to-go only—you may not provide samples or tastings. Also, wineries and breweries may not store wine or beer at a farmers market beyond the hours that you offer b bottled win or beer for sale, and may not act as a distributor from the market location.
Wine sold at qualifying farmers markets must be made entirely from grapes grown in a recognized Washington appellation or from other agricultural products grown in the state. Beer sold at a farmers market must be produced in Washington.
Please keep in mind this endorsement is part of your winery or brewery license, and you have the responsibility to follow all liquor laws and rules. Violations are grounds for the Liquor Control Board to take away your endorsement and to take administrate action against your winery or brewery license.
WINERY OR BREWERY APPLCIATION PROCESS:

Submit an application supplied by the Liquor Control Board and pay an annual $75 fee. Please allow at least 7 days before you plan to sell beer or wine.
