The largest wine festival in the Midwest returns to the Queen City this weekend, allowing you to sip wine from all over the globe right here in Cincinnati.
The Cincinnati International Wine Festival, which started in 1991, is celebrating 35 years of operation. Beginning this Thursday and running through Saturday, plenty of exotic wines will be on hand for sampling, with proceeds from the festival going to more than 30 local nonprofits.
New this year is a 20-minute introductory course on how to properly taste wine and a class on the three biggest wine trends right now, with samples included. The main event this year is The Slam on Saturday night, which puts sommeliers head-to-head in a live, timed challenge as the audience watches and sips the same wines they’ll be tested on.
To date, the festival has raised more than $8 million for local nonprofits.
