Annual Truckee Wine Walk – 2025

By

Annual Truckee Wine Walk – 2025

This weekend is the Historic Downtown Annual Truckee Wine Walk and Shop- 2025 event, Saturday, October 4, 2025!

The Downtown Truckee Wine Walk and Shop  event has become a favorite way to end our amazing Noth Lake Tahoe – Truckee area summer season!

For many Memorial Day weekend is the unofficial start to the summer season, but for me, the Tahoe City Wine Walk, which was held the first weekend in June 2025, which was my unofficial start to our warm weather season here in Lake Tahoe, CA!

So how do I end this fabulous season here in the North Lake Tahoe – Truckee area?  Attend the Truckee Wine Walk and Shop event during the first weekend in October to mark the end to a great summer season!

This annual event is big, and brings in over 1,000 participants to sip, sample, and enjoy a day of being in downtown Historic Truckee. 

This event is also a benefit for a local organization, and this year, it is the Tahoe Food Hub, a non-profit deidcated to building a food system that supports regenerative farming practices and increases local food access.

Attendees should dress in layers and be prepared to be warm in the sunshine, but it also means that you’ll want a light jacket, or sweater for the shade, or if the wind picks up.  The weather forecast has temperatures in the high 50’s to low 60’s, so it will feel like fall tomorrow!

Those that go will enjoy being in historic Downtown Truckee  and they will get the chance to sample some great wines, food from local restaurants and caterers, along with a wonderful day of shopping!

This is the 22nd year for the annual Truckee Wine Walk and Shop event, adding to over two decades of local fun!

Attendees will receive a commemorative wine glass to sample wine at more than 30+ tasting locations, and a program with a map to all participating venues in the downtown Truckee area.

Non-drinkers are welcome too, and you should ask about their designated driver program.

Here are some of the event details:

Downtown Truckee Annual Wine Walk

  • When: Saturday, October 4, 2025, Starting at 12 Noon to 4 p.m.
  • Where: Downtown Commercial Row in Truckee, California
  • Check in: Parking lot just west of the Truckee Train Station Depot – check in begins at 11 a.m.
  • General Admission Ticket Cost: Ticket price PURCHASE IN ADVANCE, on-line, $75 (plus processing fee), or at the door $85 (ticket sales will be next to the Downtown Truckee Train Depot.  Must be paid in CASH on day of event.  www.TruckeeWineWalk.com. Must be 21+ Years of age for wine sampling.  Don’t forget to bring your ID!
  • VIP Pre-Event Tasting Ticket: Available, but must be purchased in advance.  Limited to 50 guests.  Pre-tasting event at the Wagon Train from 11 a.m. – 12 noon featuring freshly baked pastries, quiche, and other breakfast items, including mimosas! VIP ticket also includes general admission ticket.
  • Designated Driver Tickets are also available.

Transportation: A day of wine sampling can be a lot of fun, but don’t forget to be safe and make sure you have a designated driver, or have arranged for a ride home.  

You’ll find a number of safe, free rides to and from the Truckee event on the event website.

So here are few of my wine walking tips to make the most of your day at the Downtown Truckee Wine Walk:

  • Dress in layers, and wear comfortable shoes.
  • Eat a good breakfast, and bring along a bottle of water.
  • Pace yourself. Sip, don’t guzzle. You’ll have four hours of drinking, eating, and walking ahead of you at an elevation of 6,200+ feet above sea level, so it can take a toll on your body.
  • It’s okay to stop for meal if you aren’t finding enough to eat with your food tickets.  I am a vegetarian and my sampling options are often limited (that’s my problem, not the events’ so plan ahead).
  • If you are in a group, and they won’t slow down for a sit-down meal, call and place a to-go order at one of the local restaurants that are open for lunch.

Trust me on this one, your friends will be impressed on how well organized you are, and they will wonder why they also didn’t place a food order to go too!

It’s a win-win for everyone.  You’ll have something extra to eat, and won’t lose any wine tasting time in the process!

  • Enjoy the moment and experience.
  • Most event goers do the wine walk with friends, so this is a time to celebrate the changing of seasons, and a time to just be together.  Be silly, have fun, find something outrageous to buy, and take selfies!
  • Make memories!

It’s hard to believe that October is here and that our holidays and winter season is almost here, so enjoy the end of the season by being at the Truckee Wine Walk and Shop!

Make plans to go to the Annual Truckee Wine, Walk and Shop event in Downtown Historic Truckee, CA Saturday, October 4, 2025!

Oktoberfest Village at Olympic Valley – 2025

By

Oktoberfest Village at Olympic Valley – 2025

The greater North Lake Tahoe – Truckee area has four seasons. 

While we are known for our world-class winter sports and ski resort areas, and we are also known for our amazing summers with sunny clear blue skies, hot days and cool nights that have the beautiful Lake Tahoe area as its backdrop!

What you may not know is Fall is one of the best times to be here in the greater North Lake Tahoe – Truckee area! 

The leaves have started to turn, the summer crowds are gone, and our temperatures while they have cooled off from those hot days in July, they are still warm and sunny!

As I write this post, September is almost gone and our outdoor events are numbered.  So it is time once again for the annual  Oktoberfest event at the Village at Palisades Tahoe in Olympic Valley this Saturday, Sept 27, 2025 from 12 noon to 6 p.m.

We’ve had a long, wonderful summer, and it’s hard to believe in less than 95 days snow will be on the ground and we will be bringing in a new year!

As we say good-bye to our late summer weather, now is the time to come out and celebrate the changing of our seasons at one of our fun, Fall Tahoe events.

Personally, we love this annual event!  How can you not enjoy being at the Village at Palisades Tahoe as it amps up its European vibe as it celebrates Oktoberfest!

There will be live music, authentic food (can anyone say bratwurst, or over-sized pretzel?), German brews, and fun games for all ages to enjoy!

There is an Admission charge (buy tickets ahead of the event and save, or buy at the door).  The event is free to kids 12 and under in age, as a FYI.  

There is a cost for beer, beverages and food, and those costs will vary depending on your personal selection.

The entry fee includes a donation to the High Sierra Lacrosse Foundation, so you can have fun, while helping out a great local group!

Need more reasons to go to this fun event?  

Let’s talk games!  There will be a keg rolling race, a Brat Toss yes, the ever popular wiener toss is back again, and there is a Stein Holding Competition! 

Here is the schedule of Games and Entertainment:

Oktoberfest Games are FREE to enter. First come, first to participate. Games have been moved to the Tram Circle this year!
GAME HOURS: 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

  • Root beer floats for the kids!

  • Don’t forget the Village Participating Restaurants

I have to admit, my favorite event seems to always be the Brat Toss event.  You get one chance to toss your brat onto the top of a keg.

It’s not as easy as it looks, but so much fun to watch contestants try!

The Village at Palisades Tahoe will be featuring a German theme through-out the Village. 

If you love to dance and sing along then you’ll enjoy the live music, where you’ll get a chance to be part of the action.

Feel like dressing up?  You’re encouraged to wear traditional Lederhosen and dirndls, but it’s not required!

To get you in the mood there will be live Bavarian music played featuring Joe Smiell and his 20 piece Bavarian Band.  They are awesome and their music will put a smile on your face!

Festival goers that are 21+ and want to enjoy great craft beers will purchase a commemorative beer glass/mug.  Beer tickets can be purchased at the event.

For those younger in age, check out the root beer float station!  Yes, I can tell you from personal experience this is a delicious, sweet treat too!

Craig (my better half in life) has really enjoyed the brats, beer, and the root beer floats!

For me I love the over-sized pretzel with mustard, along with an ice cold beer!

We’re expecting a beautiful, sunny, warm day, so dress accordingly.  I think it will feel like late summer!

If you’ll be in the greater Truckee – North Lake Tahoe area this coming weekend, check out this fun fall event.

I know that after I’m done showing properties on Saturday morning, Craig and I, along with Finn, our almost three year old Irish Wolfhound dog will be headed out to Village in Olympic Valley to enjoy some Oktoberfest food and some great German beer!

If you see us, stop us, and say hello!

Tahoe City Oktoberfest – 2025

By

Tahoe City Oktoberfest – 2025

Despite the rain and cooler weather earlier this week, this weekend we should still have good weather for the Tahoe City Oktoberfest in Tahoe City, California on Saturday, September 20, 2025.

It’s time to celebrate the changing of the seasons and enjoy a fun, fall weekend here in Tahoe City at the annual Oktoberfest – 2025! 

This event has been held in several different locations over the years, including the Cobblestone Mall, the Gatekeeper’s Museum (also known as Layton Park), and at Commons Beach.

This year, you’ll find this classic fall event at the Gatekeeper’s Museum (Layton Park), right next door to the Truckee River Outlet on CA Highway 89 South, across from the Bridge Tender restaurant!

Just a FYI, the bridge over the Truckee River is under construction, and we have a detour in place.

The only way to the Gatekeeper’s Museum is by using the first round-about coming into Tahoe City and heading down towards the West Shore, not into Tahoe City. 

At the second round-about follow the signs back to Tahoe City and the Bridge Tender.  Parking is available at the Tahoe City Transit Center.  Once you’ve parked head over to the event!

Things have cooled down here in the Tahoe City area, but this weekend promises to offer sunshine and day time temperatures in the high 60’s to low 70’s!

The leaves are turning to turn color, and it will feel like fall here the Tahoe City area, so if you are looking for that change in the season from summer to fall, you’ll feel that change here in the greater North Lake Tahoe area this weekend!

I can’t think of a better way to spend a sunny Saturday afternoon than by being by the edge of Lake Tahoe in downtown Tahoe City, California!

Live music, having an ice cold beer, and watching those who are brave enough to dress up in Bavarian themed clothing just adds to the fun!

In addition to live music, beer on tap, games, there will also be brats and other German BBQ food items to puchase.

Even if beer and brats aren’t your thing, just spending the afternoon outside here in Tahoe City is a winning ticket!

Here are the details of the

Tahoe City Oktoberfest – 2025:

  • When: Saturday, September 20, 2025 |  Starting at 12 noon to 5 p.m.
  • Where: Gateskeeper’s Museum | 130 West Lake Blvd., Tahoe City, CA
  • Event Activities: Brews, Games, Food, Live Music, Dancing, and Crafts
  • Cost:  Individual costs will vary by event, food item, and beverage product.  Must be 21+ for Beer, or Wine. 
  • A $30/ticket at the door will get you a commemorative event glass with two drink tickets.

For more information on this event, check out www.VisitTahoeCity.com

If you love Lake Tahoe, German food, beer, wine, music, and games (Can you say weiner toss?), you’ll enjoy your day at the Tahoe City Oktoberfest.

See you at the Tahoe City Oktoberfest on Saturday, September 20, 2025 from 12 noon to 5 p.m.!

Guitar Strings vs Chicken Wings – Olympic Valley – 2025

Labor Day weekend has come and gone, but we still have some great, local, outdoor events that will happen in the greater North Lake Tahoe – Truckee area in the months of September and early October!

This evening the Annual Guitar Strings vs Chicken Wings at the Village at Tahoe Palisades will happen today, Friday, September 5, 2025!

If you love chicken wings and live music, you will enjoy being at the Village in Olympic Valley as six (6) restaurants and six (6) bands will face-off in this fun annual competition of sound versus taste!

While you don’t need a reason to come up to the greater North Lake Tahoe – Truckee area, so if you don’t have plans for this evening, this is a fun event for you to enjoy tonight!

Not only will you have some late summer fun, you’ll also benefit the Tahoe Institute for Natural Science.

Six bands will battle for a cash prize and the six (6) restaurants will fight for the bragging right and title to best wings, along with a trophy!

The Bands that are in the competition on Friday night are grouped as follows:

  • Group A Bands perform from 5-6 p.m. and 7-8 p.m.

Lake Tahoe and Olympic Valley  area continues to offer fun activities for everyone to enjoy and our fall season is one of the best times to be in our area.

Our weather is great, but our early evenings will be cool.  I would dress in layers and take a sweater, sweatshirt, or a light jacket so you’ll be comfortable in the shade in Olympic Valley.

Doors open at 4 p.m. and there are a variety of drink and wing packages, along with voting tokens options to purchase!

Music begins at 5 p.m. and the event goes until 9 p.m. at the Village.
