Ravintola Patapirtti, on the Uusi-Yijälä winery in Jämsä, hosts company meetings, parties and weddings in three rooms that take 4 to 40 people. The place stands beside the Himos resort area in Central Finland. It combines a country restaurant, a farm winery, a sauna building and a few guest rooms, so a small group can meet, eat, sauna and stay at one address.
Seminars and company events
Three rooms are offered for meetings. The Pirtti is the main room for larger gatherings of 18 to 40 people, mostly used for meetings in daytime. Its walls can be moved, so it works as a meeting room, a training room or another gathering space. Lyhtykuisti suits 4 to 18 people and is also mainly used by day. Päätykamari takes 4 to 14 people and stays available while the restaurant is open.
Broadband and basic meeting equipment are provided: a projector, a screen and a flipchart. A meeting can be combined with the farm's sauna services or the winery, or with activities in the Himos area, such as the ski resort, the simulator world and Himos Golf. The team will tailor the catering to the group. Pre-planned menu options include coffee meetings for 4 to 15 people and buffet meals for groups of 15 to 25.
Weddings and receptions
The party rooms are used for weddings, christenings, birthdays, family gatherings and Christmas parties for companies and associations. The three rooms and their capacities for parties are the Pirtti for 18 to 40 guests, Lyhtykuisti for 4 to 12 and Päätykamari for 4 to 14. A dining and meeting room in the Patapirtti sauna building, opened in spring 2023, takes groups of 8 to 12. Guests can decorate the room to their taste and bring their own program or a band.
Rooms and capacities
The Pirtti is the largest room at 40 people. The smaller rooms serve working groups and family tables. The sauna building adds a room for 8 to 12 that suits a small board meeting or a private dinner.
Accommodation
The country hotel has a handful of named rooms: Ruusukamari, Lehmäkamari, Aurinkoinen Eurooppa, Itsenäinen Suomi, Päätykamari and Morsiusaitta. The official site states that the place can serve a lodging group of up to 16 people at most.
Catering
Catering is tailored to each group. The venue publishes ready-made buffet menus for groups of 15 to 25, including a traditional Pirtti buffet and a festive table with local fish, and offers an à la carte list for inspiration. The restaurant is open Tuesday to Friday from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. and Saturday from noon to 10 p.m. The farm shop sells the winery's own wines.
