International wine festival at Cincy's Jungle Jim's Market

Wine lovers and food fans need to mark off Nov 12th & 13th on their calendars and plan a road over to Cincinnati O-H-I-O for the Jungle Jim’s International Wine Festival!

Novice and connoisseur alike will find much to enjoy at Jungle Jim’s International Wine Festival, from international favorites to the new and unique. With over 400 wines, guests will experience the classics like Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay as well as Carmenere, Pinotage, Tempranillo, Petit Sirah, Mead, Viognier, Vidal Blanc, Petit Verdot and a host of others. During this event the world of wine is spinning in your favor...your favorite wine is just a taste away.

Over 20 countries will be represented as you wander, sip by sip, through all the major wine producing regions of the world. Argentina, South Africa, Spain, New Zealand, Canada, Chile, Italy, and France are a few of the countries sharing their bottled bounty at the show. Taste how Vitis vinifera (the common grape vine) has been historically cultivated from culture to culture. As you experience the wines, you will also learn about wines, wine making and storing from those who taste and promote winemaking for a living. Table after table of experts are available to walk you through the wines they know and love.

Interspersed among the wines are olives, cheeses, meats and more. All arranged within their countries to compliment your tasting experience. There is a food for every wine and a wine for every food, which is understood by all those who make and enjoy wine. The right bite can make a great wine into a memorable experience. This event brings food and wine – and the company of other wine lovers - together in the way wine was meant to be experienced.

You’ll want to visit the booths of our local and regional vintners from Ohio, Kentucky, Missouri and more. Home grown isn't always the most exotic, but we invite you to experience the local pride and connection that wine connoisseurs and others have always felt about the wines from their countries.
