You might be surprised to know the coldest, highest and snowiest winery in the United States is hidden in a red barn in Truckee, California. With grapes sourced from around California, Truckee River Winery makes the wine from stomp to bottle just 30 minutes from Reno, Nevada. And for the last couple years, they’ve partnered with Tahoe Elevated Picnics to offer a winter wine tasting experience that’s cozy, magical and the perfect ares-ski activity with your partner, girl gang or anyone else who appreciated good flavors and great vibes.
ARC Reno’s Hidden Hotspots: Bubble Yurt Winter Wine Tasting near the Truckee River
In this Hidden Hotspots episode, we’re exploring Truckee River Winery, a female-led business that’s been crafting amazing wines since 1989 from their iconic red barn. This isn’t just any winery visit; it’s a uniquely Truckee-Tahoe experience that combines award-winning wines with the most Instagram-worthy winter setup from Tahoe Elevated Picnics that you’ve ever seen.
The winter wine tastings are by appointment only, but well worth the planning! In summer time, you can stop by to the wines during their regular business hours.

On Hidden Hotspots, we always follow up our segment with an extra chat about the experience. This week, we talked about the wines we tried and I shared a part of my journey to becoming an influencer and content creator in Reno, Nevada.
Tahoe Elevated Picnics at Donner Lake
If a winter picnic isn’t your thing, Tahoe Elevated Picnics can set up an experience just about anywhere. They even have a package where they can bring in a mobile sauna for you! Two summers ago, they set up an amazing boho disco picnic on a Donner Lake pier for my friends Alley, Cass and I. Whether you’re looking to connect with friends, propose to a partner, celebrate a Mother’s Day or a birthday, Tahoe Elevated Picnics will make it feel special.
