Kuokkalan Kartano continues as the catering partner for the Premium VIP hospitality at the Harju city stage of Secto Rally Finland also during the event’s 75th anniversary year. The long-standing collaboration will be further strengthened, with Kuokkalan Kartano’s role becoming even more visible within the Premium area.
Kuokkalan Kartano is a distinguished and protected manor estate located on the shores of Lake Päijänne, just outside Jyväskylä. It is known for its high-quality restaurant and event services. The kitchen places strong emphasis on Finnish seasonal thinking, local ingredients, and carefully refined flavours. Menus are built around the rhythm of nature – showcasing the best tastes of summer with a modern and elegant approach. In the anniversary year Premium VIP experience, this translates into dishes that combine ingredients from Central Finland, Finnish culinary traditions, and an international finish.
Pekka Räisänen, entrepreneur of Kuokkalan Kartano, sees the anniversary year collaboration as particularly meaningful:
“Secto Rally Finland’s 75th anniversary makes the coming summer truly special. We want to be part of creating a Harju Premium VIP experience where high-quality food, refined service, and a spectacular setting come together. Our goal is that guests do not just enjoy a dinner – but experience a moment where taste, atmosphere, and the event combine in a way that stays with them for a long time,” Räisänen says.
Jaana Kiilamaa, VIP Services Producer at AKK Sports, highlights the importance of continuity and development in the partnership:
“In the anniversary year, we want to take the VIP experience to a new level. Premium is not only about better service – it is about a carefully curated whole, where every detail, including the culinary offering, is thoughtfully considered. Together with Kuokkalan Kartano, we are able to build an experience where Finnish quality, locality, and an international event meet in a unique way,” Kiilamaa says.
Sales of the anniversary year VIP packages are now open, and demand is strong – secure your place early.
