The team behind The Passport Craft Cocktail & Wine Bar is preparing for a big summer, starting with a high-profile community tasting event this weekend and culminating in a major relocation.<\/span> <\/p>\n

After a successful run as part of the Greater St. Louis Downtown Pop-Up Initiative, The Passport will soon leave its current space behind. Co-founders Sommelier Javia Gilliam-Sanford and Head Mixologist Kaje Sanford announced plans to move the concept to Delmar Boulevard, where it will double in size and debut an all-new food menu, although the specific address and food items have not been announced yet.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a natural next step for our brand,\u201d said Gilliam-Sanford. \u201cWe\u2019re excited to bring our globally inspired vision to a new neighborhood while continuing to celebrate culture and community through craft.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

Though the team says the departure from downtown is bittersweet, they\u2019re grateful for the support of the local community and the Downtown Pop-Up Initiative, which helped bring their original vision to life. The new space is expected to open in late summer 2025.\n<\/p>\n

Before the move, the Sanfords are hosting The Art of Alcohol, a new tasting event designed to change the way St. Louis drinks. Taking place Saturday, June 14, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Kiener Plaza, the event focuses on transparency, craftsmanship and the stories behind every pour. Tickets are $20 and available at theartofalcohol.com\/events<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cThe grand tasting isn\u2019t just about sipping \u2013 it\u2019s about the stories, traditions and culture behind every pour,\u201d said Gilliam-Sanford. \u201cThe Art of Alcohol will be a celebration of community like no other.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

Inspired by the dynamic Midwest beverage scene and three years in the making, the event will highlight responsible sourcing, cultural heritage, and emerging trends \u2013 from the sober-curious movement to low-ABV innovation. Visitors can expect a tasting experience that\u2019s equal parts education and enjoyment.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cThe grand tasting will showcase how today\u2019s drinkers are more aware than ever about what they put in their glasses,\u201d said Kaje Sanford.\n<\/p>\n

The weekend kicks off Friday, June 13, with Bubbles & Bourbon Lounge at The Passport. Open exclusively to ticket holders for The Art of Alcohol, the evening includes a curated sparkling wine selection, a signature cocktail, and a bourbon tasting presented in partnership with Angel\u2019s Envy and Louisville Tourism. Industry experts Angel Teta, Andrea Meriwether, and Gilliam-Sanford will lead tastings and storytelling, spotlighting Louisville as a destination worth the sip.\n<\/p>\n

The current location will close after the events this weekend. To follow The Passport\u2019s journey and get updates on its reopening, visit thepassportcocktails.com<\/a> or follow @thepassportcocktailbar<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
