Following the success of its inaugural event in 2023, the Cincinnati Black Wine Fest -- presented by Lush Life Brands --  promises to be even more exceptional in year two, offering an elevated experience for wine enthusiasts and newcomers alike.

This year's festival will bring together more than thirty-five exceptional wine brands from across the country, celebrating the rich diversity and artistry of Black winemakers. This journey through wine will feature pairings provided by festival partners Lucius Q, Murray’s Cheese, GFI, Sweet Petite’s, and more.

During the festival, guests will be transported to the idyllic landscapes of Napa Valley through immersive activations and experiences that are designed to make this event truly unforgettable. To further enhance the experience, the 2024 festival will introduce two premium liquor brands, offering a diverse range of spirits for attendees to savor. Guests will also have the opportunity to indulge in a cigar lounge, adding an extra layer of sophistication to the event.

The evening will feature live music, delicious refreshments, and, of course, plenty of dancing to your favorite tunes by yours truly, DJ Arie. It's the perfect opportunity to dress up, twirl around the dance floor, and create cherished memories together.
