Historic Al Tahoe Chef-Led 4 Stop Brunch Tour

Overview

Taste your way through one of South Lake Tahoe’s oldest neighborhoods while uncovering its Gold Rush history & the site of its first hotel.

By the end, Al Tahoe won't just be a place you passed through — it'll be one you know the story of. Explore a side of South Lake Tahoe most visitors never experience on this chef-led brunch walking tour through Al Tahoe, one of South Lake Tahoe's oldest neighborhoods.

Start with your choice of specialty coffee or tea before setting out with your local chef-guide. Enjoy a progression of brunch favorites and local specialties at each restaurant as your chef-guide goes beyond the plate, sharing the history of the dish, the ingredients that make it distinctive, and the story of how it came to be.

Step into Tahoe’s Gold Rush history at the site of Lake Tahoe’s first lakeside hotel, once a stop for gold seekers traveling toward the Comstock mines. Discover the stories and history of this historic neighborhood, shaped by early settlers, travelers, and Tahoe pioneers.

You’ll also hear about a local bombing incident involving some of the most complex explosive devices ever encountered by the FBI—a surprising chapter of Tahoe history.

Finish at a lakeside restaurant with your choice of dessert, prosecco, or non-alcoholic wine—a relaxed ending to a morning of food, history, and discovery.
