Boating on Lake Tahoe, California
Set sail with Tahoe Tastings aboard the 40-foot Golden Rose, a classic wooden boat that was re-imagined as a Venetian Water Taxi. Twice-daily cruises chart a course from South Lake Tahoe to magical Emerald Bay—but only after guests sample a sparkling wine from Napa-based winery, Domaine Carneros. Over the next two hours, enjoy seven more wines, each hand-selected from boutique wineries across Northern California. Cruises sail with no more than 16 passengers, allowing for a more intimate experience in which to explore the character and complexity of each pour.
