Washington Domestic Winery License Bond
Overview
Washington wineries that produce or bottle wine within state lines need this bond before the Washington State Liquor and Cannabis Board will issue a Domestic Winery License. It guarantees your operation will comply with the licensing laws governing domestic wine production in Washington. Without it, your application stays incomplete and your license won't issue.
Who Needs This Bond?
You've applied for — or you're about to apply for — a Washington State Domestic Winery License, and the Liquor and Cannabis Board has told you a surety bond is required. Any individual, partnership, or business entity that grows, produces, or bottles wine within Washington's borders falls under this requirement. If you're opening a new winery or renewing an existing license that requires a bond on file, this is the bond you need. It applies statewide — there is no local-only version of this requirement.
What is this Bond For?
This bond protects the state of Washington and the public against financial harm caused by a licensed domestic winery that fails to meet its legal obligations under Washington's alcohol licensing laws. If your winery violates the terms of its license — including tax obligations and regulatory requirements tied to wine production — the bond provides a financial remedy. The Washington State Liquor and Cannabis Board is the obligee, and your winery is the principal. The bond does not protect you; it protects the state and those affected by a violation.
When is it Required?
Before your Domestic Winery License is issued, the bond must already be executed and on file with the Washington State Liquor and Cannabis Board. There is no grace period — you cannot legally operate as a licensed domestic winery in Washington without an active bond in place. Plan to secure this bond during the application process, not after.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is a statewide Washington requirement enforced by the Washington State Liquor and Cannabis Board. It applies to any licensed domestic winery operating anywhere within Washington's borders. There is no county or city variation — the same requirement applies regardless of where in the state your winery is located.
