Tahoe City Food and Wine Classic – 2024

The unofficial kick-off to our summer season is right around the corner with the 17th Annual Tahoe City Food and Wine Classic – 2024!

You may 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 8, 2024, 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.

To this day, one of my favorite summer drinks is an imported grapefruit beer (yes they sometimes showcase beer as a sample).

I never would have known about this speciality beer, except is was one of the beverages we samples at the Tahoe City Food and Wine Classic. You never know what new beverage you’ll fall in love with until you sipped the last sample!

Each year the offering are different. You never know what the downtown Tahoe City area will offer 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!
