Reporting Requirement

Business and Professions Code Section 23327 and California Code of Regulations Section 9 require every licensed winegrower or wine blender to report all wine produced or blended for the prior fiscal year including wine produced for other licensees. Only licensees with a master Type 02 or Type 22 license are required to report. If you have both license types, you are required to submit a report for each license.

Winegrowers/Blenders Fees

Winegrowers and wine blenders must pay license renewal fees annually by June 30. The renewal fee is calculated based on the estimated number of gallons to be produced or blended in the fiscal year.

When you complete your Winegrowers/Blenders Report, you are reporting your actual gallons produced or blended. If you produced or blended more gallons than you estimated, you may owe an additional fee. If you produced or blended fewer gallons than you estimated, you may be entitled to a refund. Your future renewal fees will be adjusted based on the gallonage you report. You must submit a Winegrowers/Blenders Report even if there is no change to the fees.

To see the renewal fees from the prior year, please review the prior fee schedule.

Reporting Gallonage

For fiscal year 2022/2023, winegrowers and wine blenders can report online or by returning the ABC-261 form mailed to you. In future years, reporting will only be available online.

To report online, you must have an Online Services account with the License Administrator role. License Administrators must enter a validation code when they add licenses. All winegrowers and wine blenders will receive validation code letters in the mail. If you have already created your License Administrator account, you do not need to create a new one.

License Administrator Resources

Once you have created your License Administrator account and added your license numbers, you can select Manage and click Reports. Select your license number from the Winegrowers/Blenders Report dropdown menu. Some license numbers may not be eligible to report online for fiscal year 2022/2023. If you do not see your license number or you see a message that you cannot report online, please return your ABC-261 by mail.

After selecting your license number, enter the total number of gallons produced or blended for the prior fiscal year. The report will show the amount you paid for your renewal, the gallons you entered, the total fee required, and the amount to be paid or refunded if applicable. If you owe an additional fee, click Pay Now to submit your payment with your report. You can pay online by eCheck or credit card. A 2.99% non-refundable convenience fee will be added to all credit card payments.

If you do not owe an additional fee, click Submit Gallonage to complete your report. Refunds may take six to eight weeks to process. A check will be mailed to you.

You will not be able to edit your gallonage after you make a payment. If no payment was made, you may be able to select your license number again and make changes. If your license number is not available to select, it can no longer be edited. Please contact revenue@abc.ca.gov to request changes after the report is posted.
