Now that two longtime favorite Downtown Truckee shopping destinations, Tahoe Oil & Spice and Dorinda's Chocolates & Essentials, are under one roof, you can experience all the delectables of both stores in one visit. Tahoe Oil & Spice offers more than 25 premium extra virgin and flavor-infused olive oils and more than 30 premium and flavor-infused balsamic vinegars as well as a few other specialty oils and vinegars. Their olive oils are seasonal offerings from the northern and southern hemispheres, and their flavor-infused balsamic vinegars and traditional balsamic vinegars are barrel-aged from Modena, Italy. Look for other gourmet treats like honey, jams, spices, rubs and delicious pasta.
A few steps away, discover the sweet bliss of Dorinda's Chocolates & Essentials, with handmade chocolate confections, caramels, award-winning truffles, chocolate-covered nuts and coffee beans, toffee creams, Tahoe bark, caramel corn and so many other treats. They even have homemade ice cream sandwiches. But this is more than a sweets store. It's also a gift boutique with an incredible array of essentials, such as fresh gourmet teas and tea accessories, women's accessories and housewares and gift baskets galore.
This is the perfect place to pick up pre-made or custom gift baskets, the ideal housewarming, hostess or holiday gift. The stores and tasting room are open seven days a week. For out-of-town guests who don’t want to carry items home, Tahoe Oil & Spice offers shipping and a web store.
