Here's a good place to start learning about the requirements:

But wait! ... There's MORE!!! You will need to check your city or county for zoning restrictions and possibly a license. If you operate a tasting room you will probably need a license for food handling from your Health Dept or State Dept of Ag and you may need a license to sell retail alcohol. You will probably need a "Food Producer" license from your State Dept of Ag. Last, but certainly NOT least .. your states alcohol regulatory agency. They are ALL different, but most involve inspections, regulations, fees and a bond, oh, and TAXES.
It's daunting, but doable .. we started up in 2001 here in OR. Our roughest sailing by far had to do with county zoning .. fortunately, we decided to do that first! We had to resort to a rather clever way around a zoning restriction. If you have trouble there, drop me an email
