Celebrate Oktoberfest With Us!

Tuesday, October 1
$85.00

Oktoberfest originated in 1810 as a royal wedding celebration for Crown Prince Ludwig of Bavaria and Princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen. The festivities, which included a horse race and various festivities, took place over several days and were so popular that they became an annual tradition. The festival was officially named Oktoberfest and gradually evolved into a large public event featuring beer tents, traditional Bavarian food, music, and amusement rides.

Join us for a delightful Oktoberfest hands-on cooking class, where you’ll prepare a menu inspired by the rich traditions of this iconic festival that began in 1810 to celebrate a royal wedding in Munich. Experience the flavors of Germany as you craft succulent chicken schnitzel, cheesy spaetzle adorned with caramelized onions and crispy shallots, tangy red cabbage, and end on a sweet note with classic apple strudel. Immerse yourself in the cultural heritage of Oktoberfest while honing your culinary skills in a fun and engaging environment, leaving you with unique recipes and stories to share at your next gathering!

Our Hours

Dave Marino

Food is my life! I attended culinary school at the College of Dupage, received a bachelor degree in Culinary Arts at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh and masters in Education from Kaplan University. After a restaurant circuit I’ve been executive chef for various companies and institutions. I am currently a director of Food Service at a retirement home and I still teach culinary arts at the college of Lake County - which I love. I’ve traveled extensively and love picking up cooking techniques and flavors. There’s almost nothing I can’t cook but my favorite is classical French. I love cooking, teaching and sharing a great evening with our guests!
