Oktoberfest Drive & Dine: Yalaha Bakery, Yalaha, FL
Grab your keys and join fellow members for a scenic drive to one of Central Florida's hidden gems! Yalaha Bakery has been serving award-winning, family-owned German fare since 1995. Tucked in Lake County, this slice of Bavarian charm features fresh-baked breads and pastries, a full deli, and a dog-friendly, open-air Biergarten with live music. Breads are handcrafted in European stone-slab ovens from organic flours; with no chemical preservatives, additives, fat, or cholesterol. Save room for the pastries: danishes, bear claws, croissants, scones, and traditional European tortes. Many visitors make it a full day out, pairing the bakery with the adjacent Blue Bayou Farms country store.
