7 Day Winery ​Permit (P7W)

The 7 Day Winery Permit is reserved for wineries using grapes grown in this State that are harvested, processed, fermented, bottled, and sold at the winery's location. It authorizes:

  • The manufacturing, blending, and bottling of wine
  • The sale of wine produced at the winery to wholesalers
  • The sale of wine produced at the winery to patrons of the winery location for consumption on the licensed premises, as well as to go​
  • ​The shipment of wine produced at the winery to the homes of in- or out-of-state consumers

​​​ Because this license authorizes ​sales 7 days a week, it is only issued in counties and municipalities that ​adopt an ordinance permitting wine sales on Sunday​​ under limited circumstances.

License ​renewal

The 7 Day Winery Permit must be renewed every two years. The renewal date is ba​sed on the county where your business operates, not the date when you applied for or received your license. ​ Learn more about the renewal schedule​.

​​ ​This license does NOT authorize:
  • ​The sale or consumption of beer
  • The sale or consumption of liquor​
  • The distribution and sale of wine to retail locations
  • The sale or consumption of wine not produced at the licensed location
