Lake Tahoe Bay Wineries

Tahoe Ridge Winery

Tahoe Ridge is the pioneer of the Nevada wine and grape growing industry. We developed the first vineyard in the state in 1990 and produced the first commercial wine in the history of the state from Nevada grown grapes in 2001.

Boeger Winery

Boeger is committed not only to making the highest quality wines, but to pushing the boundaries of winemaking as well. Greg Boeger was one of the state’s first producers of a varietal Merlot when it was virtually unheard of in California. Today he is a pioneer of innovative blends, drawing from over twenty-five varieties of grapes grown at the estate. Boeger is quickly becoming known for bringing new and uncommon varietals to the market place. We look forward to your visits!

Those of you who have “survived” the trip to our remote vineyard and winery, as well as those who have been daunted by it, will welcome the opportunity to taste our award winning wines surrounded by the warmth and comfort of our beautiful tasting room, with views almost as delightful as our wines.

Advisories

The Region’s Fall Advisories:
  

Traffic Conditions. During the summer months, Lake Tahoe is inundated with tourists making driving challenging. Another issue, is the warm summer months are the best to complete road work. This combination can create very long delays in certain sections. Go to www.caltrans.com to learn about road conditions. 

Yes, It’s Still Water! California’s extreme drought has created some long-term consequences. If you are planning a lake vacation be sure to check about water levels. That rafting trip, fishing, or skiing may be impacted. It has also create EXTREME fire conditions, so be sure to check with local authorities about campfire and camp stove regulations.   

The Plague! It sounds medieval, but chipmunks and squirrels around Lake Tahoe can carry the Plague and health officials urge caution. Click here to learn more.

Yellow Jackets! I don’t know why it’s so bad this season, but from Tahoe City south  along the beaches the bees are everywhere! Click here to learn more.
