Our mission
Make DC social again.
Washington is the loneliest city in the country. Nearly half of its households are a single person living alone, and the wine bars worth sitting in are scattered across neighbourhoods that never quite connect. It is a city with an unusually good wine scene and an unusually hard time showing it to anyone.
So we built a reason to go. One passport, five wine bars, and a complimentary 5 oz pour waiting at each of them. It opens in your browser the moment you buy it, and it fills up only if you actually turn up.

FAQs
No. It is a heads-up and nothing else. You give us an email, we tell you the morning passports go on sale, and you decide then. No card, no hold, no obligation.
October 15. That is also the first day a pour can be redeemed, so nothing sits unused while you wait.
No. One pour per bar, per passport, for the season. The server enforces it, not the app.
Their choice, and it changes. They know their wines better than we do.
No. Turn up. Once a bar is named its mark on this page links straight to them, where their own hours live.
Yes. Put the recipient's email in at checkout and the passport opens on their account, not yours.
Redemption closes. Your passport becomes the record of the season, and a full set of stamps unlocks a printable poster.
We are naming them one at a time as the final lineup comes together.
Not for this edition, but coming soon.
