The festival targets all lovers of fine dining, beverages and coffee, and it is designed as a combination of a conference, a fair and a festival which promotes excellence in catering and food and beverages production.

In addition to lectures of top culinary experts, famous Michelin star chefs and excellent baristas, the first R'n'B Weekend will also host workshops, tasting events and a world championship of the Barista League, we could say; which means lots of fun moments for visitors.

The same is true for Scott Rao, a leading consultant in the coffee industry and the author of numerous books on coffee preparation and roasting.
