Wine Law

Our wine law attorneys have represented a variety of clients throughout the wine industry, from vineyard installation services, wine grape growers and purchasers, winemakers, tasting rooms, and wineries. The wine industry in California is booming. From the foothills of Amador County to the Temecula Valley, our wine law attorneys across the state know how important it is to keep in compliance to continue the expansion of this business. Whether you are considering adding a vineyard to your property, creating a new label for your wine, trademarking your logo, opening a tasting room, or selling your winery, we are here to help. We truly represent “vines to wines,” and everything in between.

If you are already part of the wine world, you know the regulations involved are thick, tangled, and always evolving. The wine law attorneys at Quinn Covarrubias are well versed in federal, state, and local statutes and regulations to ensure that you stay in compliance. We have extensive understanding of the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB), the department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC), the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), and local ordinances specific to your area. In addition, we are committed to keeping up with the changing (and sometimes conflicting) developments of the industry by attending continued legal education seminars, trade shows, and being active members of leading wine-related professional organizations.
