The department may issue a special on-sale wine license to an establishment licensed to do business as a bed and breakfast inn.
“Bed and breakfast inn,” as used in this section, means an establishment of 20 guestrooms or less, which provides overnight transient occupancy accommodations, which serves food only to its registered guests, which serves only a breakfast or similar early morning meal, and with respect to which the price of the food is included in the price of the overnight transient occupancy accommodation. For purposes of this section, “bed and breakfast inn” refers to an establishment as to which the predominant relationship between the occupants thereof and the owner or operator of the establishment
is that of innkeeper and guest. For purposes of this section, the existence of some other legal
relationships as between some occupants and the owner or operator is immaterial.
An establishment holding a license under this section is authorized to serve wine purchased from a licensed winegrower or wine wholesaler only to registered guests of the establishment. Wine shall not be given away to guests but the price of the wine shall be included in the price of the overnight transient occupancy accommodation. Guests shall not be permitted to remove wine served in the establishment from the grounds.
The applicant for a license shall accompany the application with an original fee of fifty dollars ($50) and shall pay an annual renewal fee of six dollars ($6) for each guestroom in the establishment until December 31, 2004, and for each year thereafter the annual fee shall be calculated pursuant to
subdivisions (b) and (c) of Section 23320.
