Virtual Wine Festival

An intercultural festival with many highlights

From 22nd until 28th February 2021 the wine festival STUTTGART MEETS MUMBAI will take place online for the first time – an intercultural festival with many highlights.
On Monday the virtual edition of “Stuttgart meets Mumbai” will be opened.

The event invites to interactive webinars, virtual exhibitions, a virtual wine tasting and intercultural art projects. Many participants from the "India Board Karlsruhe" were already guests at the traditional festival in Mumbai, so they know the live event. The city of Karlsruhe has been represented with the "India Board" with a partner stand as a permanent partner for several years. From 22nd until 28th of February 2021 participants will have the chance to: visit a virtual exhibition – take part in interactive webinars – extend their network and enjoy the results of an Indo-German dance and art project.

Unfortunately, the opening will not be possible on place this year - but Karlsruhe will still be present in 2021 - through a virtual partner profile that can be visited under the umbrella of "The City of Karlsruhe - India Board". This year visitors will be greeted by a video message from Mayor Dr. Frank Mentrup welcomed.
