Clear, practical California ABC licensing support for beverage alcohol businesses in Napa, Sonoma and throughout California.
Plan the license around the operation
California ABC licensing begins with the business model, premises and activities—not merely an application form. Ownership, production, storage, tastings, retail privileges, distribution and off-site activities can affect which license or amendment is appropriate. Gateway Compliance Napa helps businesses identify the path before filings begin.
ABC applications and amendments
Gateway supports new applications and changes for wineries, breweries, distilleries, importers, wholesalers and other beverage businesses. Work may involve premises changes, ownership updates, tasting-room applications and coordination with federal or local approvals.

Coordinate ABC, TTB and market access
State licensing often moves alongside federal permits, local approvals, seller’s permits, label work and registrations in other states. Gateway helps organize those dependencies so that one approval does not unnecessarily delay another.
Support after the license is issued
Compliance continues with renewals, reporting, tied-house considerations, brand registrations and changes to the licensed business. Gateway can help assess new activities and keep records and approvals aligned as the operation grows.
