While staying at the Bavarian Inn Lodge, many of our guests have a tradition of enjoying a traditional family meal together at the Bavarian Inn Restaurant. Besides wonderful meals and plenty to explore in the Castle Shops below, Bavarian Inn Restaurant also has other group experiences for families and work groups. No matter if you’re a group of adults or accompanied by kids–we have activities for all!
Activities for Teams and Work Outings (Adults Only)
German Wine Tasting
What’s better than wine and cheese? German wine and cheese! Sample from several of our private label German wines, and pair with delicious cheeses and crackers. Our tasting experience comes with a spirits guide who will teach your group how to properly read a wine’s label (or “birth certificate”) and how to understand the qualities and flavors of German wines. For guests 21 & over.
German Beer Sampling
Taste for yourself why Germany is renowned for its beer. You will sample three unique German flavors made from different brewing methods. Enjoy a classic Pilsner (light), a Dunkel (dark) beer, and a Weisse (wheat) beer along with a tasty German classic–a warm, soft pretzel! For guests 21 & over.
