The Cincinnati Region offers foodies everything from one-of-a-kind tastes to five-diamond dining. Each pocket of the region features restaurants, bakeries, cafés and markets that faithfully celebrate its unique style from comfort food to a fusion of exotic flavors. We opened its first brewery in 1812. Today there are over sixty, and every autumn more than 700,000 people help us celebrate that heritage with America’s largest Oktoberfest. Kentucky’s storied Bourbon Trail begins here as well, offering connoisseurs a vast selection that is the envy of the world. Cincinnati sustains several first-rate performing arts organizations and hosts world-class touring shows and exhibits as well. |
