Drink and do good with our Lifted Spirits dinner series, as the Metropole team at 21c Cincinnati partners up with local distilleries, wineries, breweries, and more to benefit local charitable organizations.
We are kicking off with our friends at New Riff for an evening benefitting our local Make-A-Wish chapter. Join us for incredible food from Chef Zach Barnes, curated drink pairings, and personal stories from the Make-A-Wish team and families. We will also be hosting a silent auction with proceeds given right back to Make-A-Wish.
