While drinking wine can have some health benefits, and it certainly is fun, you often don’t consider it an activity that can add to your social responsibility. A series of wine festivals is setting out to change all that, though.
If you’re a lover of wine and great causes, then you better be headed to Cleveland, Ohio, for their annual Uncorked Wine Festival!
The Uncorked Festival in Cleveland looks to be amazing. With so many wineries planning to attend and a great cause to support, it will surely be a popular draw. The date for this year's event has not been announced--but, be sure to follow their site for announcements.
The Festival
This festival was created around one thing: oenophilia or rather the love of wine. On January 11th, you can expect to find hundreds of fellow wine lovers gathering at the Great Lakes Science Center in Cleveland, Ohio, to enjoy over a hundred different wines and champagnes from all around the world! Guests can expect to enjoy delicious gourmet food and experience interactive exhibits.
The event has two sessions: Early admission and general. The early admission session has a $80 admission cost and starts an hour before the general admission, which means shorter lines and special pours from select wineries an hour before everyone else. The general admission costs $65 and includes wine tastings for the evening.
In 2025, the Uncorked Festival’s proceeds went toward supporting the non-profit Art Therapy Studio of Cleveland. Art Therapy Studio has been a leader in art therapy in Northeast Ohio
since 1967. Their mission is to enhance the quality of life for all people
through art therapy.
