Copenhagen Cooking & Food Festival 2025 takes place from August 15 to 24 across Copenhagen, Denmark. The main festival hub appears in Kødbyen (the Meatpacking District) and on Israels Plads. Nearby, guests can explore historic landmarks including Nyhavn’s colorful harbor, medieval Christiansborg Palace, and Refshaleøen’s former shipyards. The city blends centuries of culture with dynamic culinary energy. The event is organized by the Food Organisation of Denmark, in close collaboration with Copenhagen and Frederiksberg municipalities.
The festival began in 2004, founded by Wonderful Copenhagen to celebrate Nordic cuisine. Since 2017, the Food Organisation of Denmark has led programming and partnerships. Over the years, it transformed into Northern Europe’s largest food festival, drawing around 80 000 visitors and hosting over 100 events . Initially rooted in Denmark’s culinary traditions, the festival now emphasizes innovation—incorporating global cuisines, sustainability themes, and regional collaborations like Provence (2025 friendship region) . Consequently, it offers a powerful platform for showcasing food — and drink — across dynamic formats: long‑table dinners, pop‑ups, workshops, and tastings.
For wine importers, distributors, and producers, Copenhagen Cooking 2025 presents key industry opportunities. The festival includes several wine‑and‑beer tasting zones within Kødbyen, as well as sommelier‑led masterclasses that highlight Nordic and Mediterranean pairings. Therefore, trade professionals can discover cool‑climate wines and forge direct relationships with Danish sommeliers and chefs. Meanwhile, boutique importers may find novel labels aligned with the festival’s focus on local, organic and sustainable ingredients. Furthermore, network events offer meeting points for international wine producers and Danish distributors, ideal for launching products or arranging exclusive deals. So, for professionals seeking to enhance portfolios and access Northern European markets, Copenhagen Cooking serves as both inspiration and business catalyst.
