About Wine + Dessert Pairing Contest

Wine and Dessert Pairing Contest is the only competition of its kind worldwide, taking place in three Baltic countries. Leading pastry chefs and sommeliers in each country unite to present specially created desserts, each perfectly paired with wine.

Viewers can watch the competition live, follow team presentations on stage, and see desserts being prepared on the spot. The event has an informal format and guests are free to move around the venue, support their favourite teams, and even try some of the desserts and wine pairings created during the competition. The event lasts approximately 3 to 4 hours, allowing visitors to experience the full programme or join at any point.
 
Teams comprising chefs, pastry chefs, sommeliers, and wine experts participate in the competition. Each team prepares ten portions of a single dessert and ten glasses of perfectly paired wine, which are presented on stage and served to the jury for evaluation. Awards are given for the best pairings, as well as special categories such as "Best National Dessert", "Lightest Pairing", and "Best Wine of the Show".
 
The competition is organised by Wine + Dessert International, in cooperation with national and international partners, including the Lithuanian and Latvian Sommelier Associations, the Lithuanian School of Sommelier, Vyno klubas, Pavāru Klubs, Vyno Žurnalas, and Falstaff Nordics.
