Award for Domäne Mechtildshausen: the estate, which has been managed by the Wiesbaden Youth Workshop since 1987, receives the certificate for regionality, quality and sustainability from "Hessen á la carte", the oldest regional quality association in Germany. Three lions and the red and white "Hessen á la carte" sign serve as a guide for guests: they can be sure that the food and dishes come from Hessian products and are of high quality.
"The certificate from 'Hessen á la carte', the cooperation of Hessian regional cuisine, is both an acknowledgement of our work and an incentive for us," says Mayor Christiane Hinninger. The business is run as an educational institution, which means that young people and young adults can complete excellent training and further education here. "At the Domäne, great importance is attached to quality and sustainability in all products and services. First-class dishes are on the menu in the restaurant. The ingredients are grown on the domain itself," says Hinninger.
There are now 128 "Hessen á la carte" establishments throughout Hesse. A total of 38 Hessian establishments have been awarded a certificate this year, including the "Forsthaus Rheinblick" on the outskirts of Wiesbaden since 25 September this year.
In the state capital and in the "Wiesbaden Rheingau" destination, numerous
very different establishments have committed themselves to the standards of regionality, quality and sustainability and have undergone the certification process. In Wiesbaden, these include Tillys Café Walz, the Hinkelhaus restaurant in Auringen and the Kellerskopf restaurant. In the Rheingau, the seal of approval has also been awarded this year to the Friedrichs Wine & Dine restaurant in the wine hotel "Zum Grünen Kranz" in Rüdesheim, Agathes Gute Küche in Walluf and the Hotel Lindenwirt in Rüdesheim, all of which are committed to regionality, quality and sustainability. Zum Krug in Hattenheim and Weingut Kisselbach in Erbach have already received awards.
