The Cincinnati International Wine Festival is returning March 9-11 for its 32nd year of giving back one glass at a time. Festival organizers will be welcoming over a hundred wineries from around the world for a glorious weekend of wine, all benefiting dozens of local charities!Â
Wine For All
There is truly something for everyone from wine newcomers to collectors and connoisseurs. This ultimate weekend of wine consists of gourmet dining at the area’s finest restaurants, grand tastings, a collector’s tasting room, charity auction, luncheon, silent auctions and more. One of the largest of its kind in the country, the extremely popular, non-profit festival showcases more than 700 wines from 100 wineries.
The weekend begins with upscale winery dinners on Thursday, March 9, when guests will enjoy the best of fine wines and fine dining simultaneously at 10 prestigious restaurants across the city.
The festival continues March 10 and 11 at the Duke Energy Convention Center with grand tastings held in the main level exhibit hall. Grand tasting ticket holders receive unlimited tastes of wine, a keepsake Riedel wine glass, small bites from notable brands, and access to wine industry representatives and experts from around the globe.
