Weinfest 2025

Dear Ladies and Gentleman,

In 2025, we commemorate 57 years of a flourishing partnership between Mumbai and Stuttgart, a relationship rooted in shared values and strengthened through cultural exchange. Twenty-one years ago, the “Stuttgart meets Mumbai” wine festival was born out of the desire to deepen this bond, and today it remains a cornerstone of our collaboration.

The past year, 2024, was pivotal for both Indo-German and Indo-European relations. Through initiatives in sustainability, education, and economic partnerships, we set new benchmarks for cooperation. This spirit of collaboration is reflected in the growth and impact of this wine festival, which, in its 21st year, continues to serve as a platform for meaningful exchange.

Over the years, this festival has welcomed tens of thousands of participants, fostering connections that transcend cultural boundaries. It is inspiring to see how our cities, regions, and countries have grown closer, making India and Germany exemplary partners on the global stage.

The 2025 edition promises an enriching experience with interesting workshops and informative partner booths. Expect an evening filled with music, entertainment, and opportunities to connect with distinguished delegates from both regions. Of course, no celebration is complete without the finest wines and culinary delights from Stuttgart and Mumbai.

Let us come together to toast to our enduring friendship, and look ahead to a future of continued collaboration. I invite you all to join us at the 21st “Stuttgart meets Mumbai” wine festival.

With warm regards,

Andreas Lapp
