South Lake Tahoe Dining

dining

Being able to drive from one end of South Lake Tahoe to the other within 15 minutes, it’s amazing the diverse selection of cuisine we have from so many different cultures.   Ranging from “hole-in-the-wall” places to five-star dining, eclectic menus to simple ones, you will surely enjoy your dining experience while staying in Tahoe.  Some of the types of cuisine the South Shore has to offer are: Chinese, Mexican, Greek/Mediterranean, Japanese, Thai, California Cuisine, steakhouses, Indian, Italian and much more.

Many people who come to South Lake Tahoe tend to cling to the downtown casino area, not knowing there is so much more to the South Shore dining experience than the casino restaurants (which are also very good, don’t get me wrong).  If you have come to the South Shore without a vehicle, taxis are in abundance here and no restaurant will be more than a short cab ride away.

As I could write all day about my favorite picks (I am very passionate about food), here is a link to the Tahoe Daily Tribune’s 2010 Best of Tahoe winners which were voted for by the locals — you will need to scroll down almost to the bottom.  I hope during your next trip to Tahoe you will get a chance to take advantage of our wonderful selection!

Après Wine Company in South Lake Tahoe

After a long day on the slopes or a day out on the boat, unwind with some wine at Après Wine Co.  They offer fine wines, tastings and gifts… and now offering lunch!  They have over 50 different wines available for tasting on a daily basis, they serve lunch between 12 – 4 daily and appetizers all day!  The food and wines are delicious.  You can purchase an Après Wine Pass (similar to a debit card) and put it into the Enomatic wine dispensing machines, and choose a wine, wait a second for the pour, then… swirl, sniff, sip and enjoy!  Their wines for sale are organized by region, and the staff is very knowledgeable about every kind of wine (and have tasted every single one!).  There is section in the back with wines under $20 and under $10 if you are looking to spend a bit less.  In the front of the store, they have every wine accessory you could need, and some other goodies too: jewelry, Tahoe collectibles, and much more.

Their calendar is packed with weekly events and they offer a happy hour twice daily on Mondays through Saturdays!  During happy hour, you can enjoy reduced pricing for wine tastings and appetizers.  It is located in the Ski Run shopping center, across the street from the Ski Run Marina, one mile from the casinos.
