Back to the Rootsis the topic of the 29° edition of Merano WineFestival

Merano WineFestival, back to the roots: The WineHunter Helmuth Köcher is confronting COVID-19 with courage and enterprise, confirming that the 29th edition will be held from 6th to 10th November without radical changes to the traditional format. Indeed, he will be returning to the origins of the Festival, back in 1992, when the world’s most glamorous food & wine event was first staged.

MWF 2020 is going back to the roots and respects its traditional format

The WineHunter Helmuth Köcher is presenting a special edition of the Merano WineFestival, an edition that is going back to its origin. The format remains traditional with regard to the health and safety of producers and visitors, but with the addition of some new digital content. However, with respect to the traditional ethos of the event, it still remains the epitome of style and excellence. So, the theme of the 2020 edition is focused on the Festival’s ancestors and entitled “Merano WineFestival, Back to the Roots”.

The Merano WineFestival is the first event in Europe which, since 1992, solely focuses on the selection of top quality products in an exclusive ambience. Its multi-sensory journey in just one Glass, has become a milestone in this type of festivals.

The Merano WineFestival is more than just an event, it is an outright think tank. It provides a platform for exchange between producers, opinion leaders, professionals and consumers. A proper benchmark for high quality and a reference for a selective purchase.

The visibility and notoriety of the Merano WineFestival reaches a global level and represents a brand of top-quality. Every selected company is part of the wine-world’s gotha.

Meanwhile, the Masterclasses will represent a variety of guided tastings of excellent national and international wines with the purpose to create culture and knowledge.

Another fast-growing sector of the last years will be one of the protagonists: during the Naturae and Purae, the best biological, byodinamic, natural, “orange” and PIWI wines (Disease-resistant wine varieties) will be presented on the opening day.

All of this on the 29^th Merano WineFestival: unique, exclusive, authentic!
