    If you're considering booking with Tahoe Tastings, do it—you won't regret it. We chartered the Golden Rose for my sister's bachelorette weekend, and it ended up being one of the absolute highlights of our trip. Gabe and Melissa were phenomenal hosts from start to finish. They made everyone feel so welcome, shared fascinating history about Lake Tahoe, pointed out landmarks along the way, and created such a fun, relaxed atmosphere. The boat itself is beautiful, and the views are simply breathtaking. Seeing Lake Tahoe from the water is an experience everyone should have at least once. Between the crystal-clear water, incredible scenery, great conversation, and unforgettable sunset, it felt like something out of a movie. Everything was seamless, thoughtful, and incredibly well done. You can tell Gabe and Melissa genuinely love what they do, and it shows in every detail of the experience. Thank you both for helping make my sister's bachelorette weekend so special. We would absolutely book again and recommend Tahoe Tastings to anyone looking for a memorable way to experience Lake Tahoe!

    Tahoe Tastings was the highlight of our trip! Every wine served was delicious. Steve-O was a great captain and Kelsey knew her wines and gave great local recommendations! This is a must do if you are visiting Lake Tahoe!

    We went on the Tahoe Tastings Sunset Cruise. Melissa and our Captain were great. We had a great time. The cruise included 6 couples that really clicked and made the cruise very enjoyable. The wines were great. The only downside to the cruise was a very large thunderstorm but hey, we can’t control the weather. I would definitely do this cruise again the next time we come to Tahoe.
