On Saturday, March 14, 2026, Falstaff once again invites guests to its legendary Big Bottle Party. What makes the event so special? The tasting and the party that follows give private visitors the rare chance to experience a touch of ProWein, the world’s leading trade fair for wine and spirits. Guests can meet international winemakers and sample their wines—an opportunity normally reserved exclusively for industry professionals.
From March 15 to 17, 2026, ProWein returns to Düsseldorf, drawing winemakers and trade professionals from around the world. The night before the fair begins, Falstaff sets the stage with an extraordinary wine celebration.
While the fair itself is reserved for industry insiders, the Falstaff Big Bottle Party gives all readers the rare chance to step into this exclusive world. Guests can taste premium wines and spirits, meet the winemakers behind them, and enjoy a curated tasting experience usually limited to trade visitors. After the tasting, the evening flows seamlessly into the legendary Big Bottle Party. Expect great music, a lively atmosphere, and exceptional wines poured from impressive large-format bottles—accompanied by carefully selected culinary delights.
Don’t miss this unique opportunity to discover top-class wines and celebrate with us in style.
