Offerings at Schloss Reichenau

Announced categories include cheeses, cured meats, baked goods, confectionery, beer, wine and distillates, oils, honey and preserves. There is also a visible presence of natural cosmetics, perfumery and body care items.
Handmade jewellery, decorative items for home and garden, textiles and woodwork feature alongside food trucks and tasting stands that cover savory and sweet options with regional and international touches.
Program highlights
The event mixes commercial exhibition with on-site activities. There is daily live music and a tombola at 16 00 in the main hall. On Saturday 3 October the lineup includes AGE & ADAM from 17 00 to 20 00 and the Charity Heroes will run children-focused activities and support the tombola.
A blessing of trikes, bikes and oldtimers is scheduled on Saturday morning at the church forecourt and nearby parking. The fair supports three social projects including an animal shelter and local fundraising drives.
Exhibitor profile and commercial focus
The exhibitor base is made up of farmers, artisanal food producers and small-scale cosmetic and craft manufacturers. Listed participants range from honey and bakery makers to artisan distillers and creators of handmade soaps and cosmetics, plus designers of accessories and decorative objects.
For buyers this implies a market of suppliers oriented to direct sales and regional distribution. Quick, product-focused exchanges and clear follow up work better than lengthy presentations.
How to prepare B2B outreach on site
- Prioritize exhibitors by product type and production capacity. Distinguish artisanal single-producers from suppliers who can scale.
- Use digital catalogues accessible via QR codes to share product lists and pricing instantly.
- Ask direct questions about minimum order quantities, organic certification and delivery windows to evaluate fit quickly.
- Schedule short meetings and send a concise recap by email with next steps. Clear, transactional communication increases conversion after the fair.
