"We are hosts with passion!"
Together, they represent the future of the Winzerhof. Simply a strong team – two people who complement each other perfectly. Nathalie, the creative mind, with a focus on marketing and the kitchen, and Florian, the numbers expert, who leads sales and oversees the administration of the Ringhotel Winzerhof.
After graduating from high school, Nathalie completed her apprenticeship as a cook with Douce Steiner at the Hirschen in Sulzburg. She then studied business administration - hotel and catering management with a focus on marketing in Ravensburg. In 2016, she returned to her parents' business.
After graduating from high school, Florian studied industrial engineering. He has always helped out in his parents' business and has become an indispensable pillar of the hotel over the years. Since 2017, he has been an integral part of the Winzerhof.
"At work, I can fully develop my passion for being creative.
My favorite place is in the kitchen, where I can not only conjure up little works of art on the plate, but also work together with our great team. Pampering guests and making them happy is simply a great job and a new challenge every day.
However, since our kitchen team is already super positioned in terms of family through my husband Ingo, I'm very happy about my second creative task: marketing."
"Numbers are my world.
In sales, I do what fulfills me every day. I make sure the occupancy figures are better. If the hotel and our event rooms are full, then I'm happy. Of course, always looking to satisfy our guests and create a great experience for them.
The technical part is also part of my job. It's nice to grow with your tasks and I'm always happy about new challenges."
Together, they have been managing the Ringhotel Winzerhof with dedication since 1994. As the fourth generation, they continue to play an active role in the management for as long as they wish and are able to do so—working together in a four-person leadership team with their children, Florian and Nathalie.
Monika completed her apprenticeship at the Winzerhof as a hotel manageress from 1975 to 1978 and also met Jürgen on this occasion. After gaining professional experience in Germany and Switzerland, she became a restaurant master and returned to her apprenticeship.
After graduating from high school, Jürgen started his apprenticeship as a cook at the Hotel Adler in Asperg. After subsequent years of travel, including with Harald Wohlfahrt in the Schwarzwaldstube - Traube Tonbach -, he made his master chef and returned in 1987 to his parents' business, the Winzerhof.
"I love being a hostess and am happy every day anew about nice guests and especially about our many regular guests. As a senior chef, here at the Winzerhof, you are simply a girl for EVERYTHING."
"I was born into the cradle of gastronomy. Since 1994, I have been passionately running our family business in the 4th generation.
What motivates and inspires me is the harmonious interaction between our young guns and our old hands in the team. No day is like the other. Don't go - don't give! Every day begins with this motto.
All this and our many great guests make our winery - along with my family (especially my grandchildren Mario and Emilia) my pride and joy."
