Organized by GHM Gesellschaft für Handwerksmessen mbH, the event brings together regional artisans, global beverage producers, and industry buyers in a vibrant and historic Bavarian setting.

The first FOOD & LIFE fair launched in 2004, and since then has grown into Germany’s largest specialist event for food and drink, operating twice yearly.
