Excellent training
The Old Vine School receives the Chefs Trophy 2025!
We are delighted that the Alte Rebschule was honored with the "Chefs Trophy Training" award in Fulda in mid-November! 🌟 This award recognizes companies that are passionate about training young chefs.
Of the nine nominated hotels, four received awards: our wellness hotel Alte Rebschule, Schloss Elmau, Orania.Berlin, and the Land & Golf Hotel Stromberg.
"This praise is due above all to our head chef Jochen Döringer and sous chef Marina Nagel," emphasizes hostess Sonja Schäfer. In our kitchen, we focus on classic craftsmanship with high-quality, mostly regional ingredients—there's no room for convenience here!
Our team is also enriched by young people from Kenya who came to us through the social commitment of our senior boss, Stephan Hafen. Their zest for life is a real asset!
This award shows that excellent training creates a bright future—for talented individuals, for the restaurant industry, and for the culinary quality of our region. We are proud to continue on this path!
