OTHER WAYS TO HELP
Cincinnati International Wine Festival Weekend kicks off on Thursday, March 7 with our winery dinner series hosted at local restaurants. Friday, March 8 begins with an industry-only Trade Tasting where those who work with wine are encouraged meet each other and meet the producers. Friday night is the first of three public tasting sessions where attendees can sip their way through over 800 wines from around the world! For those looking for a more curated wine tasting, we offer the Collector’s Tasting Room one hour prior to each Grand Tasting session. Saturday March, 9 we host the Charity Auction & Luncheon where top bidders take home exclusive vintages and luxurious trips. In addition to the festival in March, we host the annual Russ Wiles Memorial Golf Tournament in the fall to honor of our founder. None of these events would be possible without the help of many volunteers! Please visit our website to learn more about these nonprofits we support!
