Sample the Sierra revamped

Brian Walker | Sample the Sierra

Sample the Sierra, South Lake Tahoe’s farm-to-fork festival, returns to Bijou Community Park on Sept. 18 from 3 to 7 p.m. for the 12th anniversary event showcasing regional cuisine, wines, spirits and beers, as well as artisans and live music.

Attendance will be limited to approximately half of previous years to provide a more intimate atmosphere with ample space to sample and imbibe. Tickets are $75 for adults and $65 for under 21 and designated drivers and are available online. The event is expected to sell out in advance.

The culinary adventure will include more than 20 booths featuring a different winery, distillery or brewery expertly paired with a restaurant using local produce in signature dishes. | samplethesierra.com
