Tour and Table at the Oktoberfest Opening Weekend – 2027

The Oktoberfest is the largest beer festival in the world, as well as the perfect chance to experience Bavarian culture. Though this fest is a must-see, a crowd of over one million people on any given day can be daunting. Let All Things Garmisch make this event as stress-free and entertaining as possible! 

Why Celebrate Oktoberfest With Us?

We meet you at Munich’s main train station and head to the Augustiner Keller beer garden for lunch and history. Then we guide you into the Oktoberfest with a historical tour of the tents, festival, and happenings that make this event so amazing, before settling into one of the major tents for our afternoon table reservation with beer and a snack board. We handle all the ordering and payments in German, so you can simply enjoy the best day possible.

One of the perks of booking with us: your reserved table guarantees you entry into the Oktoberfest, even when the festival is over capacity and closes its gates to the public for crowd control.

An Incredible Pretzel-Making Experience at Zum Bauer! 🥨 Our pretzel-making class at Zum Bauer was an incredible experience and a highlight of our trip to Germany! We had so much fun learning the art of making traditional Bavarian pretzels Lena was our incredible instructor, from shaping the dough to choosing our own toppings. The experience was hands-on, entertaining, and delicious! It was wonderful to learn something new while enjoying a taste of Bavarian culture. We left with wonderful memories, new skills, and, of course, delicious pretzels. This is a must-do experience for anyone visiting the Garmisch-Partenkirchen area. I highly recommend it!

Lena did a wonderful job. She definitely was a knowledgeable expert, and also very personable. And genuine. And made us feel like we were capable of success. We loved the story of her learning to bake from her grandfather. And the intimacy of a four-person group. The large variety of Toppings was and unexpected surprise! What a wonderful way to spend an afternoon.

Wir haben den Brezen-Backkurs bei Lena gebucht. Es hat uns riesig Spaß gemacht in die bayrische Backkunst zu schnuppern. Lena hat uns mit ihrem Brezen-Wissen begeistert und den Kurs angenehm angeleitet. Wir würden jedem dieses Brezel-Back-Erlebnis bei Lena empfehlen! Vielen Dank für den schönen Back-Kurs :)

Our group of 10 had the absolute best time at our pretzel-making class! The sweet lady who led our class was so much fun and made the whole experience even better. Jake, the owner, stopped in later and shared some of the history of the area with us, which was such a cool added bonus. Such a quaint little shop with great food, drinks, atmosphere, and people. We had the best time and would absolutely recommend it!
