Those interested in taking part in the bidding must fill in a form at reception that includes their name and address and produce valid ID in the form of an identity card or a driver’s license. You will then be issued with a bidder’s number.
Bidders who are unable to be present on the day of the auction may submit their bid in writing. The written bid must be available to Steinfels Weinauktionen 2 days before the start of the auction (please click here for a bidding order form). Alternatively, you may authorise a third party to do the bidding for you. This requires written authorisation.
