Procedure details

In principle, you require a restaurant license in accordance with Section 2 (1) of the German Restaurant Act (GastG) to operate a restaurant that serves alcohol.

However, serving wine or cider that you have produced yourself is privileged under certain conditions and only requires notification to the municipality (§§ 4 ff. Bavarian Restaurant Ordinance - BayGastV).

Only the serving of self-produced wine or self-produced cider for a period of four consecutive months or in two consecutive periods totaling four months per year is possible without a permit.

You must observe the following requirements in particular:

  • You may only serve wine or cider made from fruit that you have produced yourself.
  • The serving of wine in a wine tavern is only permitted in rooms located in the municipality of the producer's business.
  • The serving of wine in a wine tavern may not take place in rooms that have been rented specifically for this purpose.
  • A wine tavern may not be combined with another pub or restaurant.
  • There may be no more than 40 seats in a wine tavern.
  • Only cold and simply prepared hot food may be served in a wine tavern.
  • It is not permitted to sell bottled beer, non-alcoholic drinks that are not served by the tavern owner in his establishment, or tobacco and confectionery for sale on the street.

Only the serving of self-produced wine or self-produced cider is privileged. If you also wish to serve other alcoholic beverages, you require a pub license. The same applies if you want to operate the business for longer than a maximum of four months a year.

  • the period during which the bar is to be open,
