Cincinnati's premier young professional wine tasting

Cincinnati's premier young professional wine tasting event is an unforgettable night featuring Sauvignon Blanc wine, live music from Jon Jon, and food samples at the historic Findlay Market. The Bacchanalian Society's signature event is a blind wine tasting where participants sample wine throughout the night and vote for their favorite while each bottle's brand name is hidden. This event brings together wine enthusiasts, philanthropists, foodies, and young professionals to network, mingle, and raise money for the Corporation for Findlay Market
