ProWein 2025

When March sees ProWein come to town, the whole of Düsseldorf turns into a hotspot for the international wine and spirits sector. For six days everything in the Rhine metropolis will revolve around successful business, high-octane events and the latest trends.

From 16-18 March the fairgrounds at Messe Düsseldorf will host ProWein, the most relevant international trade fair for wines and spirits. Nine out of eleven exhibition halls await trade visitors with a comprehensive range of products from all relevant wine-growing regions across all continents.

Two additional halls will introduce decision-makers from retail and gastronomy to a unique line-up of spirits from all over the world under the label ProSpirits.

The top-notch exhibitor ranges are enhanced by a high-calibre supporting programme on all three trade fair days. This includes the new Business Forum with exciting sessions, the varied activities hosted by exhibitors at their stands, the numerous tastings at the Masterclass Forum, the Gastro-Area urban gastronomy featuring star-rated chefs, the Champagne Lounge, the special show ProWein Zero, the presentation of the Union des Grands Crus de Bordeaux, the special Packaging & Design show and the Organic World, to name but a few.

With this varied line-up ProWein 2025 consolidates its position as a must-attend event for all wine and spirits industry professionals. For more information and tickets, head to www.prowein.com.
