Lake Tahoe Travel’s social series, The Deep Dive, is looking for stories that highlight what makes our region—and your business—unique.
Retail shops, restaurants, wineries, and other local businesses can participate by sharing behind-the-scenes looks, signature experiences, or special events tied to upcoming themes: hiking or wine (May), and golf or businesses with outdoor seating (June).
For example, a local wine shop might showcase a tasting event featuring small-batch regional vineyards, a café could highlight a “trail-ready” picnic menu for hikers, or a restaurant with a patio could feature outdoor dining experiences that take advantage of warmer weather and longer days. It’s a chance to showcase your offerings, connect with visitors and locals, and be part of the story that makes Lake Tahoe unforgettable.
