Gala Dinner:  “A taste of Stuttgart” at the Old Wine Cooperative

Although the City of Stuttgart holds 15 Michelin stars (of a total 61 stars Baden-Wuerttemberg), none of the star restaurants are big enough to take the entire EMSOS crowd. For this reason, we have hired what was formerly Germany’s largest cooperative wine press, the “Alte Kelter”,  as the venue for our gala dinner, and hired one of the region’s best caterers to provide traditional Swabian dishes accompanied by excellent local “Remstal” wines.
