ABOUT THE FAIR
The kulinart Frankfurt is an annual public and trade fair held in autumn, established as a platform for culinary culture, sustainable food, and stylish lifestyle design. It is organized by Frankfurter Messe & Event GmbH, an experienced event organizer based in Offenbach. The venue is the Casino building on the Westend Campus of Goethe University Frankfurt – an architecturally striking location on one of the most beautiful university campuses in Europe. This elegant setting provides the ideal backdrop for an event dedicated to mindful enjoyment, regional diversity, and artisanal craftsmanship.
More than just a trade fair, kulinart is a sensory experience that appeals to food lovers, amateur chefs, health-conscious visitors, and design enthusiasts alike. It showcases a carefully curated selection of high-quality foods, innovative culinary products, stylish kitchenware, and contemporary ideas for table culture and home living. At its core is a commitment to quality, sustainability, and individuality. Whether organic, fair-trade, or locally produced, conscious consumption becomes a journey of discovery.
The focus is on culinary trends and authentic taste experiences. Visitors discover products rarely found in conventional retail stores: fine oils, unusual vinegars, handcrafted chocolates, unique spreads, aromatic spices, fresh truffles, rare mushrooms, and much more. The selection is complemented by exquisite wines – especially from Hessian winemakers in the Rheingau and Hessische Bergstraße regions – as well as artisanal sparkling wines and champagnes, distinctive craft beers, and fine spirits such as gin, whisky, and fruit brandies from small distilleries. A local specialty, apple wine, is also featured in a wide range of variations.
A key emphasis of the fair is on regional origins and artisanal production. Many exhibitors come from Hesse or neighboring areas and present products made with attention to detail and traditional methods. From cheeses from small farm dairies to specialty sausages from family-run butcheries and individually brewed craft beers – culinary craftsmanship is on display at its finest.
Kulinart also offers an interactive experience with live cooking shows, tastings, and workshops. On the show stage, renowned chefs and food bloggers share practical tips, present recipes, and invite the audience to think along, cook along, and sample their creations. Themed tasting zones and high-quality street food make the fair a place where culinary diversity can be experienced in all its forms – from quick bites to in-depth professional exchanges.
Kulinart Frankfurt is a source of inspiration for anyone who values conscious enjoyment, sustainable products, and authentic cuisine – all within a refined setting that encourages personal encounters. Seamlessly combining marketplace, trade fair, and experiential event, it has earned a firm place in the region’s event calendar thanks to its clear focus on quality, local character, and craftsmanship.
The kulinart will take place on 2 days from Saturday, 03. October to Sunday, 04. October 2026 in Frankfurt.
