About the Event

The Wine Festival has a long tradition in Germany: more than a thousand wine festivals take place every year in Germany's wine growing regions. Records for the oldest Wine Festival - the 'Bad Dürkheimer Wurstmarkt' - go back nearly 600 years to 1412.

The German Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Japan (AHK Japan) has been organising its 'German Wine Festival' for over 10 years. This year’s dates are October 10 & 11 at HAPPO-EN in Tokyo and October 25 at The Garden Oriental Osaka.

The German Wine Festival is a great opportunity to invite clients and friends and enjoy a wonderful evening in a casual atmosphere with 10 different kinds of wines directly imported from Germany. (Click here for the Wine List)

Make no mistake, this is not just a simple wine tasting! In the spirit of a true German Wine Festival, there is plenty of wine to go around for everyone.

The German Wine Festival is supported by Verband der deutschen Weingesellschaften Japans e.V

Report

More than 550 guests signed up for this year’s German Wine Festival! With 370 participants joining the event on October 10 and 11 in Tokyo and 190 participants on October 25 in Osaka, this year’s German Wine Festival had the highest number of guests ever since it started in 2007.

Participants were able to choose from 2 Sparkling Wines, 5 White Wines ,and 3 Red Wines. While German red wine is still not very well known in Japan, a Pinot Noir from (2015, Baden Region) from the Klumpp Winery was the most popular wine in Tokyo, while Osaka preferred a 2016 Riesling from the Vinery Klumpp in the Baden region of Germany.

We thank all sponsors and partners for their kind cooperation and look forward to next year’s German Wine Festival!
