Ripley's Aquarium Fin & Tonic Cocktail Class - Octoberfest!
You're invited to celebrate Oktoberfest with Cape Fear Distillery’s Frying Pan Shoals Bourbon to create cocktails with a German twist, each one crafted to complement a festive, flavor-packed menu. Led by a Cape Fear Distillery expert, you'll create three sea-riously amazing cocktails while enjoying the aquarium's ocean wonders.
To make it even more special, we’ve partnered with a Guest Chef who has designed an Oktoberfest-inspired feast that pairs perfectly with our pours!
