.... At the Albtrauf, there is a unique natural harvest on well-tended traditional orchards of old fruit varieties growing on high-standing trees that produce fruits of particular taste and quality.

In our fruit workshop, we collect and cultivate these rare varieties individually and get the best out of them, always respecting the traditional usage, with the best knowledge of winegrowing and always driven by those so very “Swabian” virtues of passion and perfection.

Let yourself be seduced by stimulating and simple companions and the aromas of our natural surroundings in hand-crafted perfection!

Jörg Geiger was awarded the Innovation prize of the Steinbeis Foundation and the Göppingen District Chamber of Commerce in 1999.

The commitment to reviving old traditions through innovations, and thereby preserving and supporting our cultural landscape with these giant trees that so influence our surroundings, was honoured with the Cultural Landscape prize in 2001.

On 16 May 2007, the first German “Presidio” promotion society was recognised by the International Slow-Food-Foundation for biological diversity. Promotion societies are projects with the aim of protecting small producers and preserving high-quality hand-crafted products. Their purpose is to guarantee a future for food cooperatives by allowing the producers to join forces, new market outlets to be found as well as tastes and bonds with a territory to be developed.

Jörg Geiger’s workshop in Schlat is among twenty chefs and producers who have rendered outstanding services to Germany’s top state for connoisseurs. Accredited by the state of Baden-Württemberg with one star at the new Stuttgart Trade Fair.
