GenussGipfel Cologne

The "GenussGipfel", often simply shortened to "GG", stands as a beacon for gourmet delicacies in Germany. Nestled in the heart of Cologne, within the "Hall Tor 2" – a former industrial site boasting the unique charm of early 20th-century architecture – this annual trade fair celebrates both culinary innovations and time-honoured traditions. Since its inception in 1996, the GenussGipfel (or Enjoyment Summit) has become an indispensable event for fine food enthusiasts. The EHI Retail Institute GmbH, recognised for its retail expertise, is the driving force behind its organisation. The Enjoyment Summit showcases an eclectic selection of premium foods and beverages. Over 70 manufacturers, primarily small yet prestigious from across Europe, take this opportunity to introduce their finest products. The range spans from established suppliers unveiling their newest creations and bestsellers to gourmet newcomers injecting fresh vigour into the sector, and even international brands yet to make their mark in the German market. One of the trade fair's standout features is the "Delicacy of the Year" and "Product of the Year" competitions, where the crème de la crème of products compete in a thrilling showdown. The exhibitors hail from varied sectors, encompassing gourmet retail, gastronomy, and hospitality. Reflecting this, the audience is equally diverse. Every year, professionals from these industries converge on Cologne, eager to uncover the latest trends, forge new connections, and pioneer innovations. The GenussGipfel is more than just a trade fair; it's a sensory feast and a nexus for aficionados and experts of gourmet delights. And with its prime location within the striking Hall Tor 2, it offers easy access for all attendees. Truly, it's an event not to be missed!

The 25th edition and therefore the anniversary fair of the GenussGipfel in Cologne took place on Mon., 11.09.2023.
