Gold Crest Distillery, the Orlando outfit behind P1 Vodka, is working to shift its production closer to the action, applying to relocate into a Parramore building at 503 W. Central Boulevard and build out a 1,800-square-foot tasting room and retail space. The planned conversion would fold bottling, labeling, and shipping into the same footprint and put a visitor-friendly bar within easy walking distance of the Kia Center and Inter&Co Stadium. Company officials have not set an opening date while the proposal moves through the city’s review process.
Permit filings show distillery, bottling and a tasting room
According to WhatNow, Gold Crest submitted permit applications to the City of Orlando for a potential relocation to 503 W. Central Blvd. The paperwork outlines a distillery, bottling and labeling production area, a shipping zone, and an approximately 1,800-square-foot tasting room and retail area. The filings also call out the site’s proximity to the Kia Center and Inter&Co Stadium. No firm opening date was included in the application.
Owner says plans are preliminary
As reported by the Orlando Business Journal and relayed by WhatNow, owner Mitch Patel told the paper, “We are still early in the process and working through the city's review and permitting steps, so the plans are subject to approval.” The reporting notes that P1 is distilled in small batches, each bottle features hand-laid gold accents, and a portion of sales supports clean-water projects in developing communities.
Site details and the city review timeline
Local reporting places the proposed site across from the federal courthouse in Parramore, on a roughly 0.4-acre parcel north of West Central Boulevard and south of Grove Park Drive. WFTV reported that the relocation will be reviewed by the Municipal Planning Board, with a tentative hearing set for April 21. Approval from the board, followed by city permitting, would be required before any construction or build-out could begin.
About P1 Vodka
P1 Vodka's official site describes the spirit as made from non-GMO high-quality corn and Appalachian spring water, distilled multiple times and charcoal-mellowed for a smooth finish. The brand presents itself as small-batch and Florida-made, emphasizing a distillation process suited for both sipping and mixing. The company's pages also list retailers and upcoming events where the product is available.
What to watch next
The Municipal Planning Board hearing and the city's permitting timeline will decide whether Gold Crest can convert the downtown building into an active production site with a public tasting room. WFTV lists the board's tentative review for April 21 at 9 a.m., giving neighbors and officials a formal chance to weigh in. If the project is approved and built, the facility would add a visitor amenity to Parramore while expanding local production capacity, although company leaders continue to stress that the effort is still in its early stages.
