Bently Heritage Estate Distillery
This stunning estate distillery recently opened in downtown Minden and is located near both the Carson Valley Inn and the Holiday Inn Express. They specialize in gin and vodka, with whiskey on the way. The bride recommends their signature cocktail "the Chameleon" (yes, it changes colors).

Overland Restaurant & Pub
Previously a historic Basque hotel and restaurant, the Overland has become a great option for farm-to-fork dining in Gardnerville.
