Special Events: Identifying Legal Issues - Part 1

5/7/2018

Picture
​Acres of rolling hills covered in fruit-covered vines are an idyllic setting for large gatherings and special events.  But, for wineries, there are a host of legal concerns that must be addressed or they could lose their license or even be subject to criminal prosecution.
​
ARE YOU ALLOWED TO HAVE THE EVENT?​
Whether it is a hosted event that is open to the public or a private event, like a wedding or anniversary party, the threshold question is whether the winery is even permitted to hold the event. ​
​Zoning Laws
Zoning laws vary dramatically, not only state-to-state, but even among cities and counties within a state.  Most, however, have some limitation on the number and/or size of special events.  Wineries need to know how their jurisdiction defines a “special event” and what restrictions are in place.  For example, in Placer County, California, a winery is required to have one parking space for every 2.5 attendees of a promotional event.
