We would be delighted to have you with us. Four days centred on the hops of the 2026 harvest: it all starts with a relaxed and informative reception in Freising, an exclusive hop selection, the hop fields in Tettnang and, to round things off, the Oktoberfest in Munich. You will find the programme below.
