From the welcome onboard to disembarking, the experience is exceptional. Lexi is attentive, knowledgeable and engaging. Her passion for wines is evident as is her infectious personality. Tasting 8 different high quality varietals paired with a nice charcuterie is the way to go. Captain Mike is clearly competent on the water, and his historical insight of Emerald Bay is enlightening. He showed his true skill when navigating the Golden Rose into port. This wonderful wooden Chris Craft is perfect for a small group, (8-16 passengers), much more intimate than the other larger tour offerings. We HIGHLY recommend Tahoe Tastings, D & B, Roswell, GA

Amazing experience! A little over an hour and forty five minutes of pure bliss! Such a calm and relaxing boat ride across the lake to emerald bay ( beautiful) and back. The wine we had was all good, and we made some friends after a few glasses on the way back! Would do it again in a heartbeat!

Wow! Our favorite evening in Tahoe! Absolutely recommend this awesome wine tasting cruise. Fantastic wines, delicious charcuterie board and unforgettable views around beautiful lake Tahoe.

So much fun! Beautiful boat, very good wines, and gorgeous scenery. I did the tasting then drank a half a bottle of wine, so I really wished I had ordered a charcuterie from them or brough my own snacks!! Would definitely do it again.

If I could leave 10 stars I would. I booked this tasting kinda last minute and on a whim for a surprise for my best friend during her bachelorette party here in Tahoe. I just have to say I have never experienced customer service like this anywhere else. Not only were they accommodating and super sweet but my friend, the bride had dropped her coozie in the parking lot that one of the other bridesmaids had boughten on for her in the store (clearly the wine was great). They found it after we left and texted us and offered to bring it to our Airbnb! WOW! Talk about going going above and beyond for your customers. The 2 hour boat ride was just breathtaking, seeing emerald bay on the water and learning the history while drinking wine was quite an experience. Can’t wait to come back! Already planning our next trip! Thank you for an amazing time.
