Customers become friends

She represented 50 wine producers and their employees in an authentic way. Katharina Gräff describes the atmosphere at the Duisburg Wine Festival as follows:

<p <p>I'm going to try a glass", it becomes "I need it for moments of pleasure at home" and customers become friends for many years.

Greatest wine festival outside of a wine-growing region

The Duisburg Wine Festival was first held in 1986. It is the largest of its kind outside of a wine-growing region.

There was a very positive atmosphere that invited visitors to linger and enjoy themselves. <p <p>Photo source: Duisburg Kontor: Gruppe C Photography / Luisa Wallenheit
