It was a…read morelittle tricky to find their spot on the marina but we left plenty of time, so not a problem. The captain was welcoming but the star was Kelsey, the sommelier. With only 12 people on our tour, we weren't crowded on the 1953 Cris Craft wooden boat --what a classic! Kelsey gave us 8 different wines that were all high quality, providing a nice overview of each. She is funny and personable. We liked one sample so much we shared a full bottle at the end. The cost was appropriate for the generous number of tasting pours. The sunset tour passed by Camp Richardson then to Emerald Bay, where we got a nice history of the castle and area. It did not feel rushed at all. Definitely recommend this tour!

An incredible two‑hour experience. Captain Stevo and Kelsey were fantastic--knowledgeable, fun, and…read moreclearly passionate about what they do.

Thank God for a Winery here! We were visiting from Hawaii & didn't realize a blizzard was coming…read more We booked an experience outside & was waiting at Boreal Mountain for our reserved time, but what should have been 10 mins to the Winery, was going to take us 1 hour, because of the snowstorm! We immediately called to see if we could reschedule as we know we would be back. They said we could come another day. Yay! We decided to go back when there wasn't a blizzard. Lol. We also upgraded our experience from smores & fireplace outdoors, to a YURT! Best decision ever & it was our BEST winery experience ever! It was just perfect & magical! The yurt had 2 heaters, but we quickly turned one off. It wAs equipped with blankets & pillows! It was so cozy feeling. Our table was so nicely decorated, like out of a magazine! The experience came with a charcuterie board and 5 wine tastings. Everything was so good! Not a fan of White wine, but it's something about high elevation wineries...makes white taste yummy! Ambiance was cozy, without the cold snow! We absolutely loved everything about it & we are super happy we booked it! This is a must to visit in Truckee!

Nevada Sunset Winery was the perfect venue for "The Art of Chai" workshops developed for Artown…read more The workshops benefited the Shipa Zed Scholarship Fund. The space struck a great balance: relaxed and scenic, but well-suited for seated, focused workshops. Kate and Craig are extremely generous and easy to work with, from the idea to the setup and execution of the event. The guests consistently commented on how much they enjoyed the setting and loved the wine they generously poured. I would highly recommend Nevada Sunset Winery to anyone looking to host a class, tasting, or private event. Nevada Sunset Winery is a great space with a beautiful backdrop and a supportive team, which made the experience feel special.

Becca offered to host. Originally she was going to donate wine to the venue but she was helpful enough to offer a place to have it instead. It was a lovely spot. No hard liquor, just beer, wine, cider, and mixed cocktails that are in that category. Beautiful venue. We would have had it outside but the weather was getting pretty cold so we moved inside. A little tight but still an overall success. Would definitely come back because of her hospitality and the wonderful staff. Also outdoors is great with open fire and heaters provided on patio sidewalk. Wine selection is extensive also offering Natural Wines a new wine process. The food was delicious I especially recommend the miso butter scallops ($18). They also had reasonably priced charcuterie boards. Lastly, for dessert you can have your choice of s'mores to enjoy out on the patio.

I had had the opportunity to try three of their wines at a Yelp event earlier in the year, so I was thrilled to try their entire expanse of wines. We were fortunate enough to meet Jenna, their sommelier, and Joe, the co-founder, while we were there and got an extensive education in their unique wines made from grapes that can are designed to grow at high elevations with rough environments. The hybrid grapes make for distinctive flavors that are delightful to sip on. I loved the La Crosse (white) and the St. Croix (red). For those not into beer (like me), this is a great wine lovers oasis in the Reno Brewery District, and the opportunity to experience something uniquely RenoTahoe. Go have a flight and a glass of wine. Cheers!

Over the years I have stopped in Archive for a great glass of wine…read more This summer Archive added a small event space to their property. A small building in the back of the patio area. Archive has also been hosting some fabulous pop dinners and wine tasting in this new space. The pop ups have been great fun. I have attended two where two of my favorite chefs were creating their unique dishes, and Archive owner nailed the perfect pairings with all the dishes. The space isn't huge, so the events are limited to 30 people. Just right to get star treatment from everyone. No pretentious wine snobs or chefs, everyone discussing the highlights of the food and wine. Besides the dinners, Archive has also been hosting blind tastings and other fun wine discovery night. Street parking is limited. There is a parking ramp just around the corner that is easy to use.

We were quickly seated and our server checked up on us frequently. We were impressed by the decor of wine, leather seats, wooden branches, and relaxing music. We ordered the Meatballs, Chicken Pot Pie, and French Onion & Gnocchi soup. The pie's unique presentation was welcoming. The bread was crispy and the chicken mixed with vegetables had the right ratio. The soup went down warm and satisfied my chills. The onion wasn't overpowering the gnocchi. And of course, we had a paired wine that was suggested. We'll be back to try the other fusion dishes.

I'll pause and acknowledge that chicken pot pie isn't typically something one orders out. But having said that, chicken pot pie isn't something I'd expect any restaurant to mess up! What I got was dismally disappointing. It was at best a watery chicken soup served with two pieces of puff pastry. The chicken was probably the leftover of that used for other chicken dishes. To be fair, they had a good crab cake.
