Love Match
The best Valentine’s Day gifts are always personal. In Cincinnati, that means something local and experiential, and thoughtfully chosen.
For this year, we’ve found a trio that covers all three bases: a big stadium concert, a Cincy-proud hoodie, and a dining experience led by some of the region’s most celebrated culinary talent.
Brunch that feels like a celebration
For couples, friends, or anyone who prefers memories over clutter, the Blk Wine Fest Sunday Brunch stands out as a thoughtful Galentine’s or Valentine’s gift. The brunch closes out Blk Wine Fest Weekend with an exclusive culinary experience crafted by Shawn Osbey, The Traveling Chef.
Hosted at Nolia Kitchen, the pre-fixe, three-course brunch curated by Chef Osbey, includes bottomless mimosas, with specialty brunch cocktails available for purchase.
