At Sierra, one thing we can all agree on is that not many things in life compare to taking turns down the mountain after a long week of adulting, whether that means a hectic school/work schedule or stressing about why your teenager won’t accept your friend request on Facebook (we know you’re a cool mom).

However, for some Lake Tahoe visitors, it isn’t always about the turns (gasp!) and a question we get a lot at Sierra is how guests can have on on-mountain experience that goes beyond skiing or riding.  Since we want the whole fam to experience all that Sierra has to offer, we’ve teamed up with our friends over at Madroña Vineyards for a Wine and Dine extravaganza Friday, January 13th from 2-3:30pm for just $25/person.

Paul, the winemaker and owner of Madroña, graced us with his presence and helped us personally pair his exquisite vinos with unique culinary creations from our restaurants around the mountain.  It’s a rough job, but hey, we love you all SO much we took one for the team!  After hours of tedious tasting and swishing, we are thrilled to present you with the following menu:

  1. Classic Spiced Hawaiian Ahi Poke paired with the 2012 Madroña Signature Dry Riesling
  2. Chicken Satay a lá Smokehouse 360, paired with the 2015 Sierra-at-Tahoe 8852’ Zinfandel and featuring a signature BBQ sauce by lcaol favorite Sonney’s BBQ Shack Bar & Grill.
  3. Pork Carnitas, a signature from West Bowl’s Baja Grill, paired with the 2011 Madroña Signature Syrah
  4. Endives Stuffed with Grilled Tri-tip Topped with Crumbled Bleu Cheese (a Solstice creation) paired with the 2014 Madroña Signature Cabernet Sauvignon
  5. Crostini’s Topped with House-Roasted Garlic Hummus, paired with the 2012 Madroña Hillside Nebbiolo 
  1. Noix et Fromage (Walnuts and Cheese) paired with the Non-Vintage Madroña Port

Now that we’ve got your mouth watering, it’s best to secure your spot before time runs out and prices go up.  Come celebrate the return of Mother Nature and all this beautiful snow by joining your Sierra family for an experience your taste buds will never forget!  Mingle amongst fellow nature lovers inside Solstice Eatery, sip on some of the best wines the Sierra Nevada’s has to offer, and delight your senses with our culinary creations, all while taking in spectacular views of the mountain!  Stay classy, Sierra fam!
