Class 21 Permit

On Sept. 28, 2023, LCB started accepting applications for class 21 permits. A class 21 permit allows a short-term rental operator to provide a complimentary bottle of wine to rental guests ages 21 and over. With this new permit comes a rule change for wine distributors.
A class 21 permit holder may buy wine from wine distributors, retailers and other suppliers of wine authorized to sell wine at retail to consumers for off-premises consumption.
The 2023 Legislature revised RCW 66.24.200 to allow wine distributors to sell wine directly to class 21 permit holders. The permit holder must present their class 21 permit to the wine distributor when placing an order.
