Game, set and match - meal time! The wine tavern community of Tattendorf wants to create a new gastronomy hotspot in a former tennis hall. The conversion work is currently in its final stages.

Tattendorf is known and loved as a wine tavern far beyond the borders of the district of Baden. However, the pandemic, shortage of skilled workers and increasing bureaucracy for small and medium-sized businesses have also thinned out the gastronomic offer here. "Some wine taverns have closed in recent years," reports Mayor Alfred Reinisch, who also emphasizes that nine winegrowing families still uphold the tradition of serving wine in the village.

However, the bakery and pastry shop, the tennis hall with sports café and an evening restaurant have finally closed down. Although Tattendorf is not a culinary wasteland, the municipality has now taken the initiative to ensure that the curfew does not become a trend.

Tenant wanted
The tennis hall in Dumba Park has been purchased and renovated. "We have also installed a PV system," says the head of the municipality. A promising replacement for the sports facilities has already been found in the form of "Padel 4 fun". "The renovation of the adjoining catering area is currently being finalized," explains Reinisch. In future, it is to be run as a breakfast café, bakery and sports lounge: "We are now looking for a tenant with whom we can implement these plans!"
