Gin Week St. Louis Roots

Over 60 bars and restaurants participated in the cocktail and spirit focused Gin Week that preceded the Gin Festival, each establishment choosing a particular gin brand to host for the week. Each restaurant and bar placed a cocktail on the menu exemplifying their host gin brand and had the option to host an educational seminar and/or distillery meet and greet at their location. Ginworld is the third year extension of this Gin Week platform. Ginworld will be modeled after this successful prototype and extended to include the east coast’s District of Columbia, the west coast city of San Francisco and Oxfordshire, England in addition to St. Louis. Each city will highlight the Ginworld partners as well as the regional gin distilleries and brands that wish to join in the efforts to elevate the spirit of gin.

Ginworld Beginnings…

Ginworld flourished out of an annual Gin Week Gin Festival celebration started in St. Louis Missouri by The Gin Room in 2015. The second annual Gin Festival in 2016 gained press as the largest gin festival in the United States attracting distillers, brand ambassadors and spirits educators from around the country to travel to the Midwest city to introduce, teach and amplify the exposure to the spirit and spectrum of gin.

Current Dealings..

Currently Ginworld is in an additional five cities with more popups planned. Annual events in St. Louis, Washington DC, and New York City are the new normal, with one offs and pop-ups in New Orleans, San Fransisco, and Phoenix. We are ever expanding and always looking for new and excited adventures.
