GastroNord, which will be held May 6-9 at Stockholmsmässan, is bubbling with a passion for food and inspiration.

Being knowledgeable about drinks can have a larger impact on profitability than the VAT reduction in the restaurant industry. Therefore, the beverage trade fair, Vinordic, which will be held May 6-9, will further develop its Vinordic School concept in order to be able to provide the tools that are needed for improved profitability behind the bar.
This year's Gastronomic Week will be an historic event when GastroNord and Vinordic beverage fair, May 6–9, will take place at Stockholmsmässan concurrently with Bocuse d´Or Europe, May 7-8. Visitors will thus have the opportunity to celebrate with world-class chefs, competitors, national teams and seminar participants – all under one roof.
