California Regulatory Resources
The California Sustainable Winegrowing Alliance has worked with experts to develop a list of the environmental permits that are commonly applicable to a California vineyard that includes information about the applicable regulatory program area, legislation, and relevant regulatory agencies. The list is not necessarily exhaustive and it is the responsibility of the individual vineyard to remain in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. A simplified questionnaire for determining which permits may be relevant is also provided below.
