Most visitors never make it here — and that’s exactly the point. This chef-led brunch walking tour takes you through Al Tahoe, one of South Lake Tahoe’s oldest lakeside neighborhoods, where the locals actually eat, gather, and call home.
Skip the tourist strip and spend your morning discovering the cafes and restaurants that have shaped this lakeside community for generations. Between tastings, stroll beneath towering Jeffrey pines, take in sweeping views of Lake Tahoe and hear the stories behind the people and places that give Tahoe its real character.
As the morning winds down, settle in at a lakeside restaurant overlooking Lake Tahoe. Take in the breathtaking views while savoring the final flavors of your brunch experience, with your choice of a sweet dessert or a refreshing glass of non-alcoholic wine to complete the experience.
