Section 160. Farm wineries; percentage of Virginia products; other agricultural products; remote outlets

A. No more than 25% of the fruits, fruit juices or other agricultural products used by the farm winery licensee shall be grown or produced outside the Commonwealth, except upon permission of the board as provided in § 4.1-219 of the Code of Virginia. This 25% limitation applies to the total production of the farm winery, not individual brands or labels.

B. The term "other agricultural products," as used in subsection A of this section, includes wine.

C. A farm winery license limits retail sales to the premises of the winery and to five additional retail establishments that need not be located on the premises. These five additional retail outlets may be moved throughout the state as long as advance board approval is obtained for the location, equipment and facilities of each remote outlet.
