Save the Date: Kombucha Summit, Berlin, November 12-13, 2022
Organizers have announced the first in-person Kombucha Summit in two years, scheduled in Berlin for the weekend of November 12-13. The first Kombucha Summit was held back in 2019. The pandemic then caused the event to be held virtually in 2020 and 2021.
Having #KS22 as an in-person event again means attendees will get to interact, network, and build relationships face to face.
With the tagline ‘Helping Kombucha Producers Succeed,’ the seven hours of video from the first event give a flavor of what to expect. The Summit provides a knowledge exchange and networking platform for kombucha producers worldwide to help them succeed.
Venue
Organizer Fabio Carlucci, the founder of ROY Kombucha, has secured Berlin’s stunning Kuehlhaus for the event. This historic brick building dates from the 1900s, built to store fresh produce for the German capital.

The Summit will provide an opportunity to:
- Network with other producers
- Expand your know-how
- Enjoy tasting a variety of ‘booch at Europe’s largest kombucha bar
