Cincinnati International Wine Festival 2027
Cincinnati International Wine Festival
The Cincinnati International Wine Festival is an annual charity wine festival founded in 1991 in Cincinnati, Ohio. Since its inception it has raised and granted more than $8 million to over 30 Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky nonprofits in the arts, education, and health and human services sectors, while promoting the wine industry.
The 36th annual festival is scheduled for Thursday 4 to Saturday 6 March 2027, with dates and venue to be confirmed on the official site. The flagship Grand Tastings take place at the First Financial Center (formerly Duke Energy Convention Center), 525 Elm Street, downtown Cincinnati. General admission includes unlimited tastings of more than 700 wines, a keepsake Riedel wine glass, food samplings, and access to wine experts, with an optional Morgan Stanley VIP Tasting Room experience. Other festival events include winery dinners, the Wine Festival Auction & Luncheon, pop-up wine sales, and the RWM Golf Tournament. Attendees must be 21 or older.
Note: the official homepage currently advertises the 36th annual festival as 4-6 March 2027, while the Grand Tastings page still shows sessions at the First Financial Center without printed year dates; earlier editions were held in early March (the 35th edition in March 2026).
