Made in Tahoe Festival – Olympic Valley Spring 2025

By

Made in Tahoe Festival – Olympic Valley Spring 2025

It’s late Spring here in the greater North Lake Tahoe – Truckee area and if you are looking for something to do, check out the Made in Tahoe Festival – Olympic Valley Spring 2025, on Saturday, May 24, and Sunday, May 25, 2025 at the Village at Palisades Tahoe!

Our late Spring Early Summer weather is always a guessing game, so I always recommend dressing in layers.  While this weekend will be sunny, with temperatures in the mid-60’s, have a light jacket or sweater is always nice to have if it gets windy, or is overcast.

In the past the items sold are either made in the local Lake Tahoe Basin – greater Truckee area, or they are inspired by our local beauty.

You’ll find this local festival is loaded with arts, crafts, exhibits, music, entertainment, and local food and drink vendors, in addition to the Village restaurants, bars, and shops to choose from, and the admission to the event is FREE!

The Made in Tahoe event use to only happen once a year, but back in 2023, they added a second event. 

Now this event happens twice a year – once in the Spring, and once in the Fall, so you now have two chances to shop local and enjoy being up here in the North Lake Tahoe area.

It’s a great way to find that special gift for that hard-to-please loved-one, or a way to treat yourself, along with supporting Tahoe artisans and businesses!

Along with shopping the vendors, eating and drinking that you can do, you’ll also enjoy listening to variety of local music all day long!

I would expect to find jewelry, paintings, pottery, glassware, clothing, and so much more! You never know what you’ll find at our local fairs and festivals so you won’t want to miss this one.

The Made in Tahoe event will also have a number of local food and beer vendors, so if shopping isn’t your thing to do, but eating and drinking is, then you’ll still have a fun afternoon out!

Here are the event details: 
Made in Tahoe Festival – Olympic Valley May 24 and 25, 2025

  • When: 
    • Saturday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
    • Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
  • Where:  The Village at Palisades Tahoe, 1960 Olympic Valley Road, Olympic Valley, CA 96146

Tahoe City Food and Wine Classic – 2025

By

Tahoe City Food and Wine Classic – 2025

The Summer season is right around the corner and it starts with the 18th Annual Tahoe City Food and Wine Classic – 2025!

You may have know this event as the “Annual Tahoe City Wine Walk”, but was updated a few years ago to be called the “Tahoe City Food and Wine Classic”.

This year, the wine and food tasting event will be held on Saturday, June 7, 2025, between 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. in downtown Tahoe City, California.

This is a great way to start your summer fun here in the greater North Lake Tahoe area, or to just have a get-away weekend here in our beautiful area!

This event continues to grow, and has historically been a sell-out event, so don’t wait to get your tickets!!!

If you enjoy shopping, wine tasting, snacking on delicious food bites, while being outside in beautiful downtown Tahoe City, then this is the perfect event for you to attend!

I have found that getting a group of close friends together to enjoy this event is a great way to catch-up, while enjoying a variety of wines, and disclovering new tasty food bites provided by North Lake Tahoe’s faborite restaurants and caterers!

You don’t have to be a “Foodie” or a “Shopper” to enjoy sampling fine beverages, along with ducking into our local shops.

You’ll want to take advantage of this years’ event specials, sip, sample, and learn more about being in downtown Tahoe City, California by getting your tickets early.

Last year over 800+ Tahoe City Wine Walkers enjoyed this great event!

I can tell you from personal experience the Tahoe City Food and Wine Classic is a lot of fun to go to this event. 

Each year the offering are different.  You never know what the downtown Tahoe City area will have you sample until you spend an afternoon walking from one end to the other.

The annual food and wine event is a fun event to remind you why we love living here in the North Lake Tahoe – Truckee area and what our local downtown area has to offer!

Here are my Tahoe City Food and Wine Classic participant tips from past years that will help you really enjoy the event:

1)     Comfortable Shoes –  Only wear comfortable walking shoes! By the time the day is over you will easily have walked between 1 -2 miles if you hit every station.

2)     Designated Driver – Plan ahead and have a designated driver, or just call a cab to start your trip off right. Other options:  Uber, The bus TART (Tahoe Area Rapid Transit), a friend, or walking to and from your home if you live nearby.  No bikes.  Riding a bike while intoxicated can be just as dangerous as driving a car, and you can be ticketed for it.

3)     Wear Layers & Sunscreen -.  The weather may be sunny, clear skies, or cloudy, rain, and/snow.  You never know in early June, so I recommend dressing in layers and be prepared for Tahoe weather!  You’ll be outside for 3+ hours, so check the weather forecast and give yourself options!

4)     Hydrate –  Drink plenty of water as you go along the way!  It’s fun to sample the wine, beer, or liquor, but before you know it time will have slipped by, so hydrate as you move from stop to stop.

5)     Pace Yourself –  Pacing is the key to a great Tahoe City Wine Walk event.

Remember you’re doing the Tahoe City Food and Wine Classic (walk) at an elevation of 6,200+ feet above sea level, so pace yourself!  Grab a seat whenever possible, drink plenty of water, don’t get too much sun on yourself, and take it easy.  You’ll want to enjoy Sunday as much as you enjoyed Saturday here in North Lake Tahoe!

Tahoe City Food and Wine Classic – 2025

Tahoe City Farmers Market 2025

By

Tahoe City Farmers Market 2025

The Tahoe City Farmers Market 2025 will be open from Thursday, May 15, 2025, and will run through Thursday, October 23, 2025 (weather permitting)!

The return of our outdoor local Tahoe City Farmers Market tells me, Spring is here, and Summer is right around the corner for the North Lake Tahoe – Truckee area!

If you’ll be up in the greater Tahoe City – Truckee area during our warmer months, you’ll want to make sure to stop by the Tahoe City Farmers’ Market and take advantage of the fresh fruits, veggies, and bakery items just to name of few of the items you’ll find at this seasonal market!

Local farmers and merchants from the greater Auburn Foothill area and the North Lake Tahoe area bring in their goods for sale into the downtown area of Tahoe City, California in a small open-air market once a week.

The Tahoe City Farmers Market is one of the most scenic settings that you will find, with this one being on the edge of beautiful Lake Tahoe!

Depending on the time of the season (early, mid, or late summer) you’ll find bread, pastries, jams, vinegar, olive oils, artesian cheeses (if you love cheese then you won’t want to miss the “Cheese Lady” from Dedrick’s Cheeses), meat, fish (yes, my Craig is a big fan of) The Little Fish Company and their Hawaiian Style Ahi Poke, and if you know what you want, you can always pre-order and pick-up  at the market.

I really enjoy the fresh-picked fruit off the trees, or the sweet smell of those fresh strawberries – so delicious!

Other items you’ll may find at the Tahoe City Farmers Market: honey, herbs, mushrooms (yes there has been a vendor that offers just mushrooms), onions, beets, kale, chard, arugula, lettuce, broccoli, cauliflower, potatoes, artichokes, asparagus, apples, strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, apricots, peaches, and depending on the season you’ll find a great assortment of fresh food, not to mention a wide variety of vendors.

Along with our fresh foods, there are also non-perishable goods for sale, which may include clothing, jewelry, soaps, lotions, and there is always the surprise of a new vendor!

If you’re in the mood for something to eat right now, you’ll also find depending on the week different specialty food vendors/food trucks which vary from week to week, but in the past have included, pizza, crepes, cupcakes, and Indian food on any given week!

In addition to Farmers Market in Tahoe City on Thursday mornings, there are two (2) other Farmers Markets in our area.

Truckee Farmers Market 2025

By

Truckee Farmers Market 2025

The Tuesday Truckee Certified Farmers Market will open on May 13, 2025!

The return of our local Truckee Farmers’ Markets is always a welcomed event!

It seems like I did a lot of snow shoveling this past winter, so for me, when I see the “Open Farmers Market” road signs in town, it tells me the seasons are really changing and it is time to put the snow shovel away, and bring out the deck furniture!

Each Tuesday morning in Truckee, California you will find the local Farmers Market is open from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. (weather permitting) from May 13 through October 21, 2025!

In the North Lake Tahoe – Truckee area, we will have three (3) different Farmers Markets this year.

While the start and ending times for each Farmers’ Market does vary, for about three months you will have the option to shop at three (3) different Farmers Markets in the greater North Lake Tahoe – Truckee area:  Truckee, Tahoe City, and Incline Village, NV (about five (5) miles east of Kings Beach)!

If you enjoy buying directly from the farmers, or from those that have made their own goods, then you’ll want to check out these local events.

Items that you may find depending on the month and time of the growing season are bread, pastries, jams, vinegar, olive oils, Artesian cheeses, meat, fish, honey, nuts, fresh salsa, flowers, herbs, onions, beets, kale, chard, arugula, lettuce, broccoli, cauliflower, potatoes, artichokes, asparagus, tomatoes, apples, strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, apricots, peaches, depending on the season.

The local assortment of fresh food, not to mention artists, and/or food truck vendors is always changing depending on individual week you visit.

The selection of non-perishables for sale will also vary, but may include clothing, jewelry, soaps, and lotions.

The vendors do vary depending on the location of the Farmers Market so you’ll want to check out each market throughout the entire season!

I like that you are getting fresh produce for cooking through-out the week, but if you’re in the mood for something to eat right now, there are also specialty food vendors, which do vary from week to week. 

In the past, there have been crepes, Indian food, salsa, fresh bread, pizza, and cupcakes!

As we transition into our warmer months, now is the time to start re-visiting our local Farmers Markets and take advantage of locally sourced fresh produce and goods.
