Last night was my first time visiting in over two years and it was such a nice treat. My friend and I showed up around 5 and sat at the bar to grab a tasting. There is a really comfy cozy vibe inside. We picked which option we wanted and started from there. About three tastings in (we don't really drink) we needed to add some carbs to the party so we checked out the food menu. $10 for a small pizza, not bad at all. The pizza is made in the oven right there and smells so good! I think we spent two or more hours at Vegas Valley Winery and enjoyed every minute. I can't wait to come back and bring one of our other friends too. I highly recommend you check out VVW if you haven't yet!

They are located in Henderson's Booze District right next to Grape Expectations, not too far from Crafthaus Brewery and Neon Desert Brewing. They are also one of the first wineries to ever open in the Las Vegas valley. We were greeted instantly upon walking in and took a seat at a table. It wasn't busy, which was typical for a Thursday evening, so there were plenty of open tables and chairs at the bar. You can choose between having wine by the glass (red and white wine available) or you can try their tasting flights. We were given a food and wine menu to start off with. Lots of wine choices, but limited food choices. For food, we decided on their 12" cheese pizza and their Charcuterie table. For our wine choices, I had the Sauvignon Blanc dry white wine, my mom had the Mist Muscat Canelli white wine, and my dad had the Whimscal Semi-Dry Riesling white wine. While my parents only had one glass each, I decided to have two glasses of my own because it was just so good! The Sauvignon Blanc had that fruity flavor to it with just a hint of green apple and grapefruit. While I didn't get the chance to try the Charcuterie table, which had numerous amounts of meat and cheese on it, the pizza was excellent, cheesy, and shareable. I really want to come back again and try their other options, plus their flights and tastings. Excellent little winery in town with a casual, chill ambiance. Come check them out if you haven't already!

It was a classic bar and lounge place. We entered the venue and it was quiet, like a lobby and I had to use the restroom which is clean. Then we approached the dining section and the bar and the waiter asked us if we needed a table which we did. My friend asked about the whiskey samples and we got a few samples and then my friend bought a couple bottles. It was a nice experience, a speakeasy type of place. Quiet, clean, classic and the staffs gave us great service. Perhaps if I'm in the area, I will stop by again.

My husband booked us a food tour and when he told me my expectations were not high. I've been to food tasting in the past but due to being a pescatarian, I usually left hungry and had to stop somewhere after to get food. That was not the case with Lip Smacking Foodie Tours. The took us to Carson Kitchen, La Mona Rosa, Oak & Ivy, Le Thai. We had food and drinks at Carson Kitchen, La Mona Rosa, and Le Thai and each place brought out multiple dishes to try. Oak & Ivy was a drink only and it was one of the best Mules we ever had. My husband loved every dish at each restaurant and I was brought out separate pescatarian/vegetarian version of the same dishes. When I tell you we weren't hungry the rest of the day, I'm not exaggerating. Throughout the tour, we also learned interesting fact about the area and the community. I am so happy we went on the tour and got to explore an area we probably wouldn't have went to and tried multiple restaurants. When we come back to Vegas, we will be coming back and we will be recommending this food tour to everyone!

Hi All I wish I had…read morean Lip Smacking Foodie Tour (LSFT) experience to share... instead, I had to cancel my reservation because I ate something that day (i wont mention where) and I had an upset stomach, so I could not attend the LSFT. I called to cancel the morning of my reservation. The male who answered the phone was not helpful at all. Basically he said no there would be no refunds if I cancel period. I called back to ask if I could have someone else attend in my place? Same guy, said no! I needed to be at LSFT at 5pm. I receive a text from LSFT at 4:38pm, saying what is the name of the person coming in your place? This is what the website says, "ARRIVE EARLY: Mandatory check-in 15 minutes prior to the posted start time of the tour. In fairness to those who arrive on time, we will depart promptly. Latecomers will not be admitted." Im on a vacation in Las Vegas, I am 45 minutes to 1hour away from the strip depending on traffic. How is anyone suppose to make it there in a 22 minute notice? LSFT needs to have better customer service. Apparently, I could have sent someone in my place, he should of said that on my first call as an option instead of cancelling? This is what their website says, "REFUND & RESCHEDULING POLICY: Tours are non-refundable and cannot be rescheduled. Once purchased, tickets cannot be refunded, rescheduled, or exchanged for any other date or time. Tickets, however, are transferable." Why was I not told about tickets being transferable? Instead I was told "No", someone cannot come in my place? This LSFT is $285. Would you be just little angry? Again, have options, people in Vegas are on vacation, situations happen. Offering me another date to come back, issue a certificate or gift card good for a year? Bad customer service, poor training, no follow up call from a supervisor or manager to say, I understand you could not attend, however here is what I can do....? For the record I am not a Karen! I really wanted to check out LSFT! I should be refunded 100% or issued a certificate for a later date!

In particular, I really enjoyed the Eggplant Parmesan (a personal favorite for me) at the 4th stop and it was followed by chocolate treats to top the tour off. The trip provided ample servings to satisfy an brunch for most 'normal' eaters. Book it and you won't regret it.

The brief presentation by the father of modern icewine making, Donald Ziraldo, was informative and insightful. I love dessert wines, so hearing about the microclimate, harvesting the grapes, and non-traditional pairings for the exquisite icewine was especially interesting. Donald was definitely the right man for the job of Global Ambassador for Canadian Icewine. The sampling of the icewine was a nice treat. I really enjoyed the Vidal Icewine, which has a really nice bouquet of tropical fruits flavor notes. And getting a sip of the Cabernet Frac Icewine was really a nice treat (Thanks Dean!)

Thank you Yelp (Misti) and Patricia Nims (Kruger Wines and Spirits) for partnering up and offering this wonderful evening of extreme icewine tasting, and providing a great function for networking with other professionals.

I had no idea I'd be committing to 20 tastings when I signed up for this event, honestly, I thought maybe 8-10 tastings. But as a wine aficionado, how does one say no? The event came with a wrist band, a souvenir wine glass, a punch card and a raffle ticket. The wine walk had 20 tasting stations, everything from Riesling, to Merlot, to Muscat to Shiraz. Each wine ranging from $10-$20 per bottle. I have to admit, I only liked about 1/2 of the wines. But what a joy it was tasting everything anyway. It seemed like all of the red wines were on one side of Town Square while all of the whites were on the other. I wish they would have mixed it up a little bit more. With 20 tasting sessions, Yelp was hosting 2 of them. It was fun to meet so many of my friends such as Mel C., Terri R., and Tracy P., plus see other familiar faces like Ron L, River H.and Molly T. With my Yelp check in, I received a wine charm, another added bonus to the evening. I'm told each event has different wines, but from the 4/29/13 event - The best wine by my book? By far the Truffle Merlot at stop 15. The worst wine?? The Ed Hardy wine - *bleh*! This was the only wine that William tossed in the bushes (it was one of 3 I did). I love events that give to charity, and I also love wine, this was a perfect mix of both. I'll definitely do this again, only next time I'll arrange a designated driver!

But over the last year, I have discovered I like the taste of whiskey! Call it age....call it a more advanced palate....whatever you call it....mama likes! I never want to do things without educating myself, so what is a lady to do? Go to a class of course! Seriously....if I could have taken these classes in college....I would have been class Valedictorian! First of all JD was so accommodating, we had a change in our schedule and he came in on an unscheduled night so we could have the class before leaving early the next morning. The Whiskey Attic is located about a 10 minute drive off the strip in a quiet more industrial area. I like to point these things out because I like to know what to expect when driving to unknown areas. We took an Uber and it was easy to get a car to and from the location. JD greeted us at the door and right away we picked up on his brilliance about everything from sports, history and Whiskey of course! Because we were the only two there for this course it was a nice date night but honestly this would have been fun to do as a party, business ice breaker, or just something different. We did the introduction course, and not only did we learn about whiskey but wines, beers, anything you could want to know. And because The Whiskey Attic isn't trying to sell you product, you get to learn about all varieties, countries, and regions without being pushed to a particular brand. JD walked us through how to taste whiskey and how to drink it! After our class, JD asked us a series of questions and chose a selection of 6 brands he though we would like (the place is beautifully full of whiskey and JD knows where every bottle is) and we commenced tasting his selections! He nailed my tastes down to a tee and I enjoyed every one of the sample! We definitely want to go to the more advanced class next time we are in Las Vegas. I feel much more confident about ordering whiskey when I am out and about knowing what I like because of this class! Loved meeting JD and am looking forward to our next visit!
