Want to celebrate Oktoberfest but like wine more than beer? We like any excuse to have German wine so we are celebrating like the royals did ... der wein!

German wine has a long, prestigious history. It is so much more than Riesling, and we're here to show you that by pairing five of our favorite German wines with five cheesemonger curated cheeses. You'll taste the breadth of wine styles, learn about pairing, and learn some fun facts along the wine.

Prefer beer or looking to celebrate like a royal and a commoner? We also have an Oktoberfest beer class! See main page for details.

If for any reason you or your guests avoid alcohol, we do offer non-alcoholic pairings, please email us at least 24 hours prior to the event with your reservation information prior to the class to arrange. Please note that while we do offer non-alcoholic pairings in this class, we will be discussing wine and its history in detail.
