Beer, Wine & Spirits Tastings in Alpine Meadows, CA
2285 River Road, Tahoe City, CA
River Ranch is a favorite for locals in both summer and winter, but it's a favorite for all in summer. Nestled on the side of the Truckee River, River Ranch has a perfect position to catch people tubing down the mellow rapids during the heat of the summer sun. They have an open patio that frames the last rapids that tubers ride before disembarking. The patio is home to a large BBQ, a stage for late night music and open-air seating. Their menu brings together all the summer favorites with California Cuisine. Inside River Ranch is a bar that can tend to be boisterous and jovial in late summer nights as well as a segregated area set aside for fine dining. River Ranch provides 19 small cabin-style rooms for guests, though reservations need to be made in advance for summer. Winter finds the River Ranch much quieter with the outdoor patio closed but still offering delicious gourmet dining and bar specials.

Imagine, if you will, that you could put the Tahoe and Truckee region into a bottle. Then you boil or distill the contents and evaporate off the extraneous material. Let's say that you do this two or three times so that you're left with the very essence of the Tahoe experience. It would probably look a lot like WinterWonderGrass. WinterWonderGrass is a late-spring festival at Squaw Valley that blends bluegrass and acoustic roots music with craft brews, wines, food and coffee and adds in an appreciation for the arts, nature and the environment, all in a High Sierra setting. Despite the celebration of craft beers, this is very much a family-friendly event with free admission for participants on both ends of the age spectrum. But be warned, it is also a very popular event, and tickets are practically guaranteed to sell out.
