The food and drink selections hit the mark, with thoughtful pairings at each stop that introduce you to Cincinnati's brewing heritage and culinary scene. What stands out is how engaging these guides make the experience even in less-than-ideal conditions. Multiple reviewers mention freezing temperatures that didn't dampen their enjoyment because the stories and interactions kept things lively. Both locals and visitors found value here, with Cincinnati residents discovering new perspectives on their own city. The tours cover various themes from bourbon and beer history to Findlay Market brunches and Over the Rhine cocktails, giving you options depending on your interests. Customer service gets particular mention for being accommodating with weather changes and dietary needs.
The Cincy Bourbon, Beer & Wine Tour was a unique glimpse into the brewing history in Cincinnati. Beth and Laura were very knowledgeable, and it was a great way to spend a cold winter evening!
