Virginia Amends Law on Food-to-Beverage Ratio for Mixed Beverage Licenses

The Virginia Governor signed a law amending the Code of Virginia, relating to alcoholic beverage control by modifying the food-to-beverage ratio requirements for establishments with mixed beverage licenses. The law includes establishing a tiered system that exempts establishments with monthly food sales averaging at least $48,000 from food-to-beverage ratio requirements, while requiring a 30 percent ratio for those with monthly food sales between $25,000 and $48,000, and a 45 percent ratio for those with lower sales (with exceptions for smaller venues). The law takes effect July 1. [H.B. 975, enacted 04/13/26]
