Visiting Fredericksburg this weekend for a friends birthday. They want to tour the local wineries in the area. Being the good friend that I am, I offered to drive while they do wine tasting. Anyone know of any specific wineries in the Fredericksburg area posted 30.06? I did a search on the 30.06 site, but it didn't come up with anything. Or if you know of any businesses in paticular posted 30.06 in Fredericksburg, I would appreciate it. Thanks for any heads up yall give. :tiphat:

I would have assumed that you wouldn't be able to carry due to the 51% rule. But that's just what my assumptions would have been so it may be wrong. :headscratch

The 51% rule applies to places that recieve > 51% of their revenue from sale of alcohol for consumption on premise. I doubt the wine tasters buy and drink 51% of the product.

That was what I was going on. They normally charge a small fee for a "wine tasting" on the premises, but the large majority of sales are bottles of wine which cannot be consumed on the premises, therefore the 51% rule is not applicable.

anyone know for sure of any that do post 30.06 though?

toured it again as recently as last year. never saw a 30-06 sign anywhere; however as Steve has pointed out in a previous thread... some wineries tasting rooms ARE classed 51% due to a quirk in the law. There's a couple of the 51% spots on the main drag. Enjoy the trip.
