Raise Your Glass and Make a Real Difference!
Nothing says “Doing good and having fun” like our Wine Festival Auction and Luncheon. This year’s event takes place at Cincinnati’s most exciting and innovative event space, the Mercantile Immersive, which will surround attendees with 360° immersive art.
The special morning includes a champagne reception with passed appetizers and a 3-course luncheon paired with wines from a visiting winery. As you enjoy the food and drink, you can bid with gusto on rare lots of fine wine, exciting trips and exclusive experiences during silent and live auctions in support of 30+ nonprofits across Greater Cincinnati.
