The festival is a special commitment from Cologne's top gastronomy. Cologne has long been a culinary hotspot and it's wonderful that more and more people are experiencing this. Only moral, active, and financial support makes a festival like this possible. A big thank you goes out to all sponsors and supporters.

Here, fun-loving connoisseurs meet in a very unconventional way. Connecting with others: It's easier to do nowhere else than in Cologne.
A glass of wine in the church, dinner in a cable car, afternoon tea in a museum or dinner in a greenhouse... events here are unique experiences.
A great love for the culinary arts, a commitment to the very, very best quality, and fine cooking are all on display here.
