The draft amendment to the Alcohol Act introduces a time-limited possibility for small-scale on-farm sales of alcoholic beverages. The aim is to improve the conditions for small-scale beverage producers by promoting local hospitality and culinary tourism. Opportunities to live and operate throughout the country are thus increased. Small-scale food and drink producers can also contribute, through culinary tourism, to a better consumer understanding of how food production works and thus can raise quality awareness.

A provision is to be introduced in Chapter 5, Section 2, second paragraph, of the Alcohol Act to the effect that holders of on-farm sales permits may retail self-produced alcoholic beverages in accordance with the provisions of the proposed new Chapter 5a of the Alcohol Act on on-farm sales.
