Bacon Wrapped Dates

I must preface this review by saying I do not enjoy wine. However, I love this establishment! This is the second time my boyfriend and I had the pleasure of visiting. We thoroughly enjoy their outdoor patio with ambient fire pits. We ordered their small bites and champagne and all of their food is sensational, full of flavor and the presentation is lovely. We did have to place our order at the counter, but that doesn't pose a terrible inconvenience to us, as their employees have always been friendly and enjoyable. Elevated, hold my seat as I will definitely return!

Elevated Wine Experience is a hidden gem in South Lake Tahoe! The wine tasting options offer an incredible variety at an amazing value, making it easy for anyone to enjoy a top-tier experience without breaking the bank. But if you're in the mood to splurge, there are fantastic premium options as well. I chose the three premium red wine tasting, and every pour was absolutely delicious. The owner, Alex, made fantastic recommendations, tailoring the experience to my preferences. The 2015 ST. JORGE OLD VINE ZINFANDEL was chefs kiss. My friend opted for the premium white wine tasting and fell in love with the Chardonnay (2019 SILVESTRI CHARDONNAY), so much so that it's now her new favorite! The service was outstanding from the moment we walked in until the very end. Even though we stayed a little past closing, we never felt rushed or like we were inconveniencing anyone and had to get out. Instead, the atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and relaxed. It felt almost like having wine at home with new friends. One of the standout details was the selection of books around the space. The "Winery Dogs" books were fun, but we absolutely loved the "Where's Waldo?" books! It was such a unique touch that encouraged us to unplug from our phones and enjoy a fun, interactive moment together. Beyond the ambiance, the knowledge and passion behind the wine selections were evident. The way each wine was explained (its origins, flavors, and nuances) made it feel like we were at a vineyard rather than a wine bar on the main strip. It was an immersive, educational, and enjoyable experience all in one. Unfortunately, we had dinner beforehand, so we didn't get to try the food, but I'll definitely be back to pair some oysters with their amazing wine selection! We did, however, try a slice of the tiramisu cheesecake paired with a port, at Alex's recommendation, and it was absolutely delicious. If I had one regret, it's that I was so immersed in the experience that I forgot to take pictures until we were headed out the door! But honestly, that just speaks to how much we enjoyed every moment. I'll definitely be back. Next time, maybe I'll remember to snap a few photos before I get lost in the wine and great company! If you're in South Lake Tahoe, don't miss this place. It is an elevated wine experience in every sense!

We stopped in on a Saturday around 3pm. There was no wait and we were greeted by a very friendly lady who seated us immediately. She was super helpful during our experience. The place is very clean, and they use QR code menus. The restroom is also very nice and very clean. I ordered the Chardonnay (which I loved) and my husband had 2 beers. Our tab total was $50 which I felt was reasonable. The pour on the wine glass was generous. We loved our experience here and we were surrounded by other people who seemed happy too. Side note: always take into consideration other reviews and read them with a grain of salt. Someone putting a negative review for walking into a place 15 minutes before closing... be real.

We came here after a disappointing experience at another local wine bar. Elevated did not disappoint! The tastings were very delightful we ordered a bottle from list and a charcuterie board everything was well prepared. The service by Nick was excellent he was knowledgeable, friendly, attentive and polite. The ambiance was relaxing sitting outside enjoying the fire pit with a nice view of the mountains. We highly recommend you stop by to give them a try. The 3 ladies that save water and drink wine!

Hog Island Oysters
Heather J.

Walking in, you see a large bar and several benches with tiny, knee-height round tables for tapas-style eating. The benches are comfortable; personally I like a more relaxing setting for wine-drinking. The music is pop/dance, club style. That, with the lack of soft seating, seems a little incongruent for a wine bar. We're here on a Tuesday for the advertised $30 Hog Island Oysters. They come without cocktail sauce or horseradish, neither of which are actually available, even on request. We thought that unfortunate. The wine is good; the bartender's knowledge is top notch and good came quickly. He said he'd conveyed the many requests for horseradish and cocktail sauce to management, without results yet. We are the truffle eggs too fast to get a photo; they're tasty. The oysters are also really good! We only wish we had a bit more of a normal-sized table upon which to eat. The menu is excellent, better than many places around. Pricewise, we had two glasses of wine, the truffle eggs, and a dozen oysters on special; after tip we left a hundred and five dollars behind. May go back, to see if there have been improvements and support local business.

This wine bar is directly across from heavenly village right on the main street in Southlake Tahoe. It is beautiful inside and has some great seating both at the bar and separate tables. We ordered a three wine tasting sample and the charcuterie board. The wine sample seemed incredibly pricey to me since it was three individual 1 ounce pours for $20. Better off getting a glass of wine. But all of the wines that we tried were very good so I was impressed with their selection. The charcuterie board was phenomenal.

This experience was great and very unexpected! I only went in because it was really cold and windy outside and when I got inside it was beautiful. The wine list was amazing and they even offered flights. Even better, they offered games for you to play with your group. Definitely recommend for a fun yet relaxed time.

Cider flight
Emy Q.

The place is small and intimate but perfect shelter from the icy winds cutting through heavenly. Friend group of 5 enjoyed cider flights and a game of what do you meme. The service was excellent and the music was throwbacks. Fun times overall. No food.

The wine selection is amazing. For the passionate wine connoisseur, you will impressed and challenged to identify the variety of taste and smells highlighted. Apps are reasonably priced and delicious. The staff, Maria, Pauline and Jody are all exceptional in service. Ambiance is wonderful with outside seating by the fire. We went 3 times in a week during our visit. You won't be disappointed.

Sweet wine
Manuel G.

In Lake Tahoe, I stopped in by chance to a wine bar. The decor indoors was upscale with a marble bar, beautiful light fixtures. The wine is absolutely delicious! I like sweet wine and tried the red and white Zinfandel- very remarkable. I also partaked in the charcuterie board which was a nice pairing. Family friendly with my toddler in the couch seats. They had a beautiful bonfire going outside in the patio seating and a party size connect 4 to entertain kids. The servers were very friendly and hospitality was great.

Stuffed mushrooms

We stumbled upon this gem while walking! This was a fun experience. We did some tastings and enjoyed the food. The guy (I believe it his name was Jay) helping was knowledgeable and kind. While we did not like all of our tastings, we did buy a few bottles. The environment was beautiful and the entire space was well kept. Since there were no others at the time, my daughter was with me and she loved all the books. We will definitely return soon.

I asked for the complimentary wine as advertised on Lake Tahoe Boulevard and I was told to go to a casino as nothing there is free.

I don't know her name but the female bartender is so nice and very informative, if you have any questions about food or drink options she is the go to gal. I believe they have just recently added close up magic in the dinning area and the show the gentleman, James Mako, put on was very entertaining and unique. I tried to beat the trick but he was too good and both my wife and I were enveloped in his magic. We will be coming here every chance we get and I can promise you will do the same from now on

So things don't come in great large quantities. Rather for taste and enjoyment. I don't think you can go wrong with any of the dishes.

It's a rooibos/green tea blend. We also tried a pot of their jasmine pearls. Both so delicate and went well with the food. They also have specialty cocktails for tea. I opted for the Super Saiyan because DUH! It's a tequila based drink with chamomile, yuzu and honey. A nice little kick after tea Now the food was amazing. You are served three tiers. The first tier is your savory bites. My favorite was the BLT and the smoked salmon. Moving on to the second tier of sweets. The superstars were definitely the pistachio madeline and the lavender blackberry bite. Not too sweet and such unique flavors. The top and final tier featured their scones: blueberry and white chocolate cranberry. Served with their lemon crème fraiche. Tea with an Edge is served Saturday-Sunday right now from 130-330pm.

The decor/ambiance is excellent albeit maybe a little over-the-top but on the ground floor on the corner of a busy street it lacks any kind of special view. The drinks and food surprised me, they were actually pretty decent! Nothing absolutely incredible but for example the creamy vegetable risotto was some of the best risotto I've ever had. Pasta dish was overcooked (but what us Americans are used to.) Like most any restaurant, your mileage may vary depending on what specific menu items you choose. Service was excellent and the food prices are very reasonable FOR SOUTH LAKE TAHOE CASINO HOTEL DINING (many entrees under $30 -- cocktails are overpriced in general, low-mid $20's which is typical for high-end casino hotel craft cocktails.) This is a strong/high 4 stars. 5 stars if I let the designer decor, celebrity branding, or vacation/special occasion splurge mentality bias my judgment on the cuisine level and/or profit center cocktail prices.
