Falstaff Wine Trophy 2024

On Saturday, 11 November, St. Martin's Day promises to be a highlight for all wine lovers this year. Falstaff cordially invites you to join us for the presentation of the "Weinguides 2024" and the award ceremony of the coveted Wine Trophy in the picturesque Bergisches Land in Bensberg.

Sommelier of the Year, Newcomer of the Year, Winemaker of the Year - Falstaff presents these prestigious awards every year. After a 2-year break, the coveted Falstaff Wine Trophy is back on the big stage and will take place this year at the Althoff Grandhotel Schloss Bensberg.

For the first time, the award ceremony will be combined with the unveiling of the Falstaff Wine Guide Germany. All guests at the gala will have the exclusive opportunity to be the first to hold the brand new guide with the current ratings of Germany's most renowned wineries in their hands and add it to their collection. The excitement will be palpable in the ballroom when the respective top three candidates for the coveted titles are presented.

Following the award ceremony, you will enjoy a walking dinner of the absolute top class - the chefs read like the "who's who" of the German culinary scene: the chef stars of the Althoff Collection, cooking up close alongside numerous award-winning partner chefs. Of course, you will enjoy all the nominated and award-winning wines!
