urban gastronomy by #asktoni & ProWein

Restaurateurs – particularly the young, urban scene from Europe’s and overseas’ metropolises – can look forward to the upcoming ProWein with great anticipation: The legendary lounge "urban gastronomy by #asktoni & ProWein" will be part of the program once again. A tailored offering of current trends and topics will await the culinary scene, presented by Toni Askitis, a restaurateur from Düsseldorf, influencer, and recently named “Sommelier of the Year” by Rolling Pin.

As trendy as the scene gastronomy is, the program in the lounge in Hall 4 is just as exciting; action is guaranteed! And this is, of course, due to the combination of food and wine – the cornerstone of gastronomy. But what are the basic principles of successful food pairing? What should restaurateurs pay attention to, and how can guests be engaged and thrilled? Daily workshops in the urban gastronomy lounge will provide answers and inspiration.
