Allows certain winery licensees to also hold plenary retail consumption licenses and operate restaurants; excludes land used for sale of alcohol under plenary retail consumption license from farmland tax assessment.

This bill would allow winery license holders (plenary and farm wineries) to also hold plenary retail consumption licenses and operate restaurants directly adjacent to their winery premises, with a combined annual fee of $1,250 for both licenses. It would exclude land used for alcohol sales under these licenses from farmland tax assessment under the Farmland Assessment Act of 1964, and exclude related income from eligibility for farmland tax assessment. The bill aligns winery licensing more closely with existing brewery rules that permit restaurants on premises, but does not increase the total number of plenary retail consumption licenses a municipality can issue. The changes would apply to wineries that meet requirements for operating a restaurant with adequate kitchen and dining facilities.
