The goal was to introduce wine professionals from Scandinavia to the region’s wines and offer them new ideas for their product ranges—particularly for state-run liquor stores, restaurants, wine bars, and specialty retailers. 

In the run-up to the trip, the Franconian wineries gained valuable insights into the unique characteristics of the Scandinavian markets during an informational seminar. During the trip itself, they also had the opportunity to present their wines directly and engage in personal discussions with potential business

The trip was organized by the Bavarian State Ministry of Food, Agriculture, Forestry, and Tourism, Frankenwein-Frankenland, the German Wine Institute (DWI), and the German-Danish Chamber of Foreign Trade (AHK).partners.
