Arkansas: Now Open for Winery-to-Consumer Direct Shipping!
Action Alert
April 28, 2025
Dear Wine Lovers of Arkansas,
We’re happy to report success in Arkansas! This state was one of two that maintained an on-site purchase requirement. Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders has recently signed legislation that will finally make the state open to winery-to-consumer direct shipping.
On April 16, 2025, Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders signed HB 1476, which is essentially Wine Institute’s model direct shipping bill. Wineries will be able to ship up to 24 cases per year to any consumer without the requirement (currently) of being on the premises of the winery. Rulemaking should begin within the next several weeks and will provide for the particulars of the application process. With this, Arkansas will truly be open to direct-to-consumer sales.
