The prestigious Falstaff Wine Trophy will once again honor the best German wines, the most dedicated winemakers, and the most outstanding talents in the industry this November. The nationally and internationally renowned gala will take place on Friday, November 14th, 2025.
"Sommelier of the Year," "Newcomer of the Year," "Sparkling Wine Producer of the Year," "Collection of the Year," "Winemaker of the Year," and the prestigious "Lifetime Achievement Award" – these esteemed titles are awarded annually by Falstaff after an anonymous vote by industry insiders. As the three nominated candidates for each coveted title are introduced, anticipation will fill the grand hall.
After the award ceremony, it's time to explore the elegant salons of the château, where the chefs of the Althoff Group and guest chefs will present an exquisite walking dinner. Each of the nine chefs will serve a specially selected signature dish created exclusively for this evening. To accompany these culinary delights, the nominated (and winning) winemakers will be pouring their finest wines.
Join us in celebrating the magnificent Falstaff Wine Trophy and raise a glass to an unforgettable evening in the heart of the Bergisches Land!
