Tahoe House Bakery on the west shore. Hands down the best coffee and pastries on the lake.
A Squaw Valley ski day - one of the best places on the planet on a good ski day! I wake up early to ski before the public arrives.
Take a nice mid-day break at Alexander's with a good Cabernet Franc and lunch.
Jump on a boat at the warmest part of the day. That's Lake Tahoe perfection!
Stop for drinks at Jake's on the Lake.
Try their famous rum punch!
PlumpJack Cafe at PlumpJack Squaw Valley Inn for their pork chops with CADE Cabernet.
For their filet Mignon with a good Shafer Merlot or Revolver Cabernet Franc.
Always has a great fish selection and incredible lake views.
I would stay at the PlumpJack Squaw Valley Inn. Be sure to try their breakfast buffet.
Insider Tip: If you're coming from the Bay Area, travel at off-peak times. Not on Friday nights during a big snow storm in the Sierras!
