WAC 314-28-066. Tasting room age restrictions for distillery and craft distillery licensees

Consistent with RCW 66.24.140 and 66.24.145 : (1) A distillery or craft distillery licensee must not allow any person under the age of twenty-one to enter a tasting room unless they are accompanied by their parent or legal guardian. (2)(a) Every tasting room must include a designated area where persons under the age of twenty-one are allowed to enter. (b) The designated area may be in a separate room or within the tasting room. (c) The designated area must be separated from the remainder of the tasting room space by a clear demarcation. "Demarcation" has the same meaning and options as provided in WAC 314-02-025 (3). (3) Persons under the age of twenty-one are not allowed on the premises of a licensed distillery, craft distillery, or off-site tasting room past 9:00 p.m., unless: (a) They are on the premises during an event where a private party has secured a banquet permit (see chapter 314-18 WAC); or (b) They are the children of owners, operators, or managers of the licensed distillery, craft distillery, or off-site tasting room, and they are under direct supervision of their parent or legal guardian while on the premises.
