Sausage, Schell’s, Pizza Buffet & Lights Tour

Adult Programs / Trips & Tours -

2026-2027

co-sponsored with Community Club Tours

It’s time once again for an annual favorite tour! This tour has it all… one of the best meat markets in the state, the historic Schell’s Brewery, a Pizza Ranch buffet, and a very popular light display… all in one tour… and just in time as we prepare for Christmas celebrations! We’ll begin with casual shopping at Schmidt’s Meat Market in Nicollet. (Bring coolers or insulated bags with your name clearly marked on them.) After you’ve had time to buy those Christmas party treats, we’ll head to Schell’s Brewery in New Ulm for a tour and tasting of their fine products. Not a beer drinker? They also make 1919 root beer. They’ve added a Bier Halle where we’ll relax briefly, shop and visit before we head to the Pizza Ranch for an included late afternoon pizza buffet. (They’re even opening their buffet early just for us.) We’ll end our day with the beautiful Kiwanis Holiday Lights in Mankato.
