A GLOBAL HUB ON THE RHINE

Düsseldorf, the capital of North Rhine-Westphalia, is a vibrant, cosmopolitan city with a rich cultural and economic heritage. Home to over 620,000 residents and part of the densely populated Rhine-Ruhr metropolitan region, Düsseldorf is a key center for business, finance, fashion, and innovation in Germany. The city’s skyline, a striking mix of historic architecture and modern landmarks such as the Rheinturm and MedienHafen, reflects its dynamic character.

The Rhine River, flowing through the heart of Düsseldorf, has been central to the city’s growth for centuries. It is not only a major European waterway facilitating trade and commerce but also a scenic backdrop for leisure, cultural events, and riverside promenades, making Düsseldorf one of the most attractive cities in Germany for both business and tourism.

ProWein, the world’s leading trade fair for wine and spirits, is hosted in Düsseldorf due to its excellent transport connections, international airport, and reputation as a global business hub. Every year, thousands of wine professionals, buyers, importers, distributors, and sommeliers gather here to discover the latest vintages, trends, and innovations in the wine industry.

The Women in Wine Expo (WIWE) 2026 will be part of this vibrant setting, by curating a flagship Masterclass: Her Terroir Her Story, WIWE highlights the expertise, creativity, and diversity of women in wine while offering an inspiring professional platform within the international environment of ProWein.

Whether arriving early for the WIWE Meet & Greet on March 14, exploring the city’s cultural treasures, or strolling along the Rhine promenade, Düsseldorf provides the perfect backdrop for learning, networking, and celebrating women in wine.
