Culinary speed dating: enjoyment and networking in the Limeskastell Pohl!

In the Limeskastell in Pohl there was a special event: the culinary speed dating, organized by the Lahntal Tourismus Association (LTV) and the business development agency (WFG) of the Rhein-Lahn district. The aim of this event, which took place on February 7, 2025, was to bring food generators, restaurateurs and hosts together in order to increase the visibility of regional products and to promote new collaborations. The participants had the opportunity to get in touch in short “dates” and to discuss potential together that could be an advantage for the region. As rhein-zeitung.de , the event was a platform for exchange and networking.

The event was not only a meeting, but also part of a larger initiative that aims to support the local producers and food producers in marketing their products. The Lahntal Tourismus Association works closely with the municipalities, the city of Lahnstein and the economic development of the Rhein-Lahn district.

Promotion of regional products

In order to gain a better understanding of the needs of local businesses, an online survey was launched, which is open until mid-October. This is aimed at farmers, food producers, restaurateurs, hosts and retailers from the Rhein-Lahn district. The aim is to record the interest in offers and information and create new business relationships. Participants can benefit from a free listing on the website of the Lahntal Tourismus Association and are given the opportunity to be included in a partner brochure that should address potential cooperation partners. According to the lahnstein.de Press release This is a step to strengthen regional added value.

The initiative is completed under the Chapeau of the Rhineland-Palatinate Ministry of Economic Affairs and is supported by business development and the associations. The success of such local projects, such as those in the Limeskastell, depends heavily on this network that comes to the fore sustainable tourism and regional development.
