Doom the Winter Gloom with Kohlfahrt at Genesee Country Village & Museum

Jan 16th, 2018

Weary of these short and gloomy winter days and yearning for something to raise your spirits?

Genesee Country Village & Museum has found the answer in Kohlfahrt—a German-inspired event that combines outdoor activity, booze and a hearty meal.

So popular last year when it was first introduced— “more fun than any human should be allowed to have!” according to one guest—the event is now offered over two days, Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 10-11.

It all begins with a walk through the winter landscapes, with numerous pauses for silly games. (Who knew that Brussels sprouts would make such fine ammunition for toy rifles?)

A group “Booze Wagen” provides sips of German beer, wine, cider, Schnapps as well as non-alcoholic drinks as the day unfolds. Then, after all that outdoor exercise, the Kohlfahrt culminates with a hearty sit-down, German-style meal.

Groups depart on these two-hour escapades every 15 minutes between 1:30 and 4 pm on Saturday, and 1:30 and 3 pm Sunday.

Tickets (adults 21 and over with ID) are $70/$63 GCV&M members. Reservations, available online, are required.
