About us
Our Mission Virginia ABC generates a reliable stream of revenue for Virginia and promotes public safety through the responsible sale and regulation of alcoholic beverages. Our Values Accountability – Service – Integrity – Performance Excellence Our Structure Virginia ABC and its more than 4,700 employees are proud to serve the Commonwealth of Virginia. As an authority working with the Secretariat of Public Safety and Homeland Security, ABC administers alcohol-related laws with an emphasis on public safety by ensuring an orderly and regulated system for convenient sales and responsible consumption of alcohol. In 2018, Virginia ABC transitioned from a traditional state government agency to an authority, an independent political subdivision, which provides more flexibility and efficiency as a retailer, wholesaler and regulator of distilled spirits. Virginia ABC is a leading revenue producer for the commonwealth and the source of future economic growth and innovation for the state. The profits that Virginia ABC contributes—collected from distilled spirits sales at ABC stores, and taxes collected on beer and wine sales—provide much-needed funding for use in a multitude of state programs, which benefit all Virginians. Since its establishment in 1934, Virginia ABC has contributed $12 billion to the commonwealth’s general fund supporting major education, health and transportation initiatives. As one of 17 control states across the United States—where the state government manages the sale and distribution of distilled spirits at the wholesale level, ABC stores are the only retail outlets in Virginia where customers may purchase liquor.

Virginia's own Maj. Jas Boothe is a 2024 Evan Williams Bourbon American-Made Hero! Boothe was recognized earlier this month with a ceremony at Store 436 in Winchester. Jas is one of six American-Made Heroes to be featured on Evan Williams Bourbon bottles this summer. Final Salute, Inc. will receive a grant from the American-Made Heroes Foundation Fund. During her military career, Jas was awarded for outstanding service and taught Officer Candidate School, training future military leaders. While serving, she founded Final Salute Inc., which provides safe housing to homeless women veterans and their families. The American-Made Heroes Foundation Fund was established to show Evan Williams’ pride in being American-made and owned, and to give back to those who served.
