Additionally, Andy Saul, a Michelin-starred chef, and Tim Tanneberger from theNOname restaurant will be part of the festivities. Tim will be receiving his first Michelin star this year. The gala will feature esteemed wineries, including Prof. Dr. Georg Prinz zur Lippe, owner of VDP.Estate Schloss Proschwitz in Meissen, talented winemaker Matthias Hey (VDP), and the remarkable VDP.Estate Reichsgraf von Kesselstatt.
