Over the last nine years, the Wachau Gourmet Festival in Austria, has established itself as one of the most important international culinary festivals.

Wachau Festival is no stranger to internationally acclaimed supremacy as it frequently makes its acquaintance in the form of international restaurateurs and winemakers, eager to make the most of the place where some of the finest white wines in the world are made. For example,WEIN & GENUSS Krems, the top wine tasting event which unites over 60 of the best winegrowers in Lower Austria every year, is another distinctive highlight of the Wachau Gourmet Festival.
