Pine needles underfoot, the lake glittering just beyond the trees, a area that's never once tried to impress a visitor — until now. This chef-led brunch walking tour takes you through Al Tahoe, one of South Lake Tahoe's oldest areas, where the locals actually eat and gather.

Skip the tourist strip for four cafes and restaurants that have shaped this lakeside community for generations serving everything from brunch classics to savoury must-haves. Between tastings, stroll beneath towering Jeffrey pines and take in sweeping views of Lake Tahoe as you hear the stories behind the people who give Tahoe its real character.

As the morning winds down, settle in at a lakeside restaurant, sun on your shoulders, savouring the final flavours of your brunch with a sweet dessert or a glass of non-alcoholic wine.

You’ll leave with a full stomach and a deeper appreciation for what makes this place truly special.
