Gourmet Christmas Party

It never happened that the Christmas party of employees, co-workers and friends of JENEWEIN GROUP and companies in its portfolio would fail. This year it was held on December 19, 2011 at Restaurant Barrique in Bratislava-Dúbravka. The motto of the evening was What we cook, we also eat. Led by the experienced Chef Michal Anyalai we prepared the tasteful menu in three teams-and the specialties were really dainty. We experienced new tastes, interesting and unusual combinations and cooking procedures; in addition to that we were having fun and enjoyed talking and dancing. Break in the tasting of self-cooked delicacies filled the traditional Christmas raffle in which we provided each other with lovely gifts. This party will surely end up among highlights of the outgoing year-this year we have moved the level of a good party pretty high...

St. Nicolas Evening

Not even this year would St. Nicolas skip premises of JENEWEN GRUOP and companies in its portfolio on his way of visits. Around twenty cheerful children were expecting him impatiently and we are happy that the number of them is getting bigger and bigger every year. St. Nicolas accompanied by Angel and Devil didn't show up until they had called for him three times. The more calm and peaceful was the atmosphere getting, the more could St. Nicolas and his helpers concentrate on giving presents. Every single song or rhyme was rewarded. After St. Nicolas left to fulfill his continuous daylong duty of spreading joy, children with their parents watched a winter fairytale and enjoyed tasteful snacks. But there was another reason to celebrate on the 6th of December! In the morning, our staff members cut a cake to celebrate one year of working in these new premises. In cheerful mood we have entered charming Christmas season...
