Virginia ABC Distillery Store Bond
Overview
Virginia requires licensed distilleries operating retail stores to carry a surety bond as part of the ABC licensing process. This bond — the Virginia ABC Distillery Store Bond — guarantees that your distillery store will operate in compliance with Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Control Authority regulations. It protects the Commonwealth by ensuring financial accountability for any violations of licensing terms or tax obligations tied to distillery retail sales. If you've been told you need this bond, Bond Titan can get it to you fast.
Who Needs This Bond?
Craft distillery owners, spirits producers, and distillery operators who hold or are applying for a Virginia ABC Distillery Store license need this bond. This includes small-batch distilleries that sell their own products directly to consumers on-site, as well as larger Virginia-licensed distilling operations with attached retail storefronts. If your distillery sells spirits at retail under a Virginia ABC license, this bond is a condition of that license.
What is this Bond For?
This bond exists to hold distillery store licensees financially accountable to the Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Control Authority. It ensures that if your operation violates ABC regulations or fails to meet tax obligations associated with distillery retail sales, the Commonwealth has a financial remedy. The bond does not protect your business — it protects the public and the regulatory body overseeing Virginia's alcohol industry.
When is it Required?
During the Virginia ABC license application process for a Distillery Store, the ABC Authority requires this bond before your license is approved and issued. You'll need to secure the bond and submit proof as part of your licensing paperwork — not after approval. Having this bond ready prevents delays in getting your distillery store licensed and open for business.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond applies statewide across Virginia and is governed by the Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Control Authority. It is a state-level requirement, not specific to any county or city. Any distillery store operating under a Virginia ABC Distillery Store license must maintain this bond for as long as that license is active.
