Spine & Wine: Summer Kickoff!
Kick off summer with sips, stories, and spine-tingling reads at Passages Wine & Books!
Join us for an afternoon of wine tastings, bookish vibes, and the perfect excuse to let your summer reading list run wild. Bring friends, your curiosity, and your love for stories that linger… just like that last sip of wine.
Let’s toast to sunny days, good reads, and even better company!
About the Venue
The Lit Wagon
The Lit Wagon is a women-owned, Chicago-based pop-up bookstore that brings thoughtfully curated new & used books to community spaces across the city and suburbs. Rather than operating from a traditional storefront, we partner with coffee shops, markets, festivals, small businesses, and local events to create welcoming, book-filled experiences wherever we go. We specialize in contemporary fiction, literary fiction, queer literature, children’s books, giftable reads, and themed seasonal curation — with a strong focus on discovery, conversation, and community connection. Our pop-ups are designed to feel approachable, cozy, and a little serendipitous. In addition to our regular events, we host monthly give-back initiatives that support a designated Charity of the Month, using bookselling to directly support local organizations and causes we care about. Whether you’re stopping by for a beach read, a beautifully designed nonfiction pick, or a surprise “blind date with a book,” The Lit Wagon is all about making independent bookselling feel joyful, mobile, and community-centered. Come stop by and say hi!
