Ronin Fermentation Project
Ronin Fermentation Project provides a unique perspective to new beer styles in addition to respecting the classics. The brewery has a taproom and comfortable patio where visitors can relax and soak up the fresh Graeagle air. The views are breathtaking, and the beer is made from high-quality ingredients made using cutting-edge and industry-leading techniques. Ronin attracts beer enthusiasts and students of food science from far and wide as a destination brewery. Ronin makes world-class lagers and has also advanced at brewing with Koji, a Japanese fermentation technique, and spontaneous and mixed culture brewing. Excitement has been growing for Ronin’s one-of-a-kind koji beer, and new koji beers are released frequently.
Lake Tahoe
Just 40 miles south sits arguably one of the most beautiful and clearest lakes in the world! Lake Tahoe is known for its beaches, crystal clear waters, boating, mountain sports, and scenic hikes. Take a clear kayak or paddle board along the shoreline, go jet skiing, take an easy stroll down East Shore Trail, or launch a raft down the Truckee river. Parking can be tricky at some of the popular spots, so plan ahead or take a shuttle. Head to Truckee, California, where the Tahoe National Forest, Donner Memorial State Park and gorgeous Lake Tahoe are at your doorstep. A rich alpine environment supports mountain plants and wildlife, a place that Native Americans, the Donner Party, and early settlers called home. You can also drink, dine, shop, and relax at one of Truckee's many quaint downtown establishments.
Nakoma Resort
Visit the beautiful Nakoma Resort--just 14 minutes south of our wedding venue--for golf, spa, and fine dining. The teepee-inspired Lodge design was conceived in 1923 by the enduringly brilliant Frank Lloyd Wright and built in the heart of the Lost Sierra in 2001. The grand design of the Lodge at Nakoma is the inspiration for the Inn at Nakoma and Altitude, the resort’s mountain-modern recreation center. Taking cues from America’s master architect, Nakoma’s designs focus on the interplay of wood and stone, with interiors naturally lit by expanses of windows and glass.
