WELCOME It’s our favorite time of year...Best of Tahoe© time! This year we’re legal! That’s right, 21 years of celebrating the best of the best! That’s 21 years of your favorite people, places, dining, activities and more...21 years of celebrating what makes Tahoe, TAHOE. This year, we recognize the 2015 winners and since we’re now of drinking age, be sure to check out BEST happy hour, BEST place for a glass of wine, BEST signature cocktail, BEST local’s bar, BEST beer selection, BEST wine shop…and after all that, you’ll likely need to know where the BEST caffeine fix is too!

Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered!

What does the Best of Tahoe© really mean? We like to think that each winner represents the essence and culture of Tahoe. We asked questions like: What does it mean to live here...to wake up each

morning to snow-capped mountains and close the evening with a gorgeous Tahoe sunset over the lake? Where are the secret spots for both locals and visitors alike...the hidden gems and long-time favorite haunts? Who are the people that make this place so very special...who greet us with a smile or gives us the local insider tips?

We hope that the categories and their winners showcase what it truly means to live and play here. It’s an honor to be recognized as a winner and one that should be celebrated. Make sure to use this magazine as a guide to the best that we have to offer here in Tahoe and discover what truly makes our end of the lake shine.

Many congrats to the winners and cheers to another year of recognizing the best!
