Book & Wine Club

Unwind lakefront with fellow book lovers and wine enthusiasts at The Idle Hour’s monthly Book Club. Each month, you’ll sip a thoughtfully selected bottle of wine and dive into a curated book pick in our cozy, relaxed Tahoe setting above the shimmering waters of Lake Tahoe.

This club is all about good stories, great conversation, and even better company.

New books are announced monthly, and every first Sunday brings fresh discussions and connections. Cheers to books, friends, and a perfect glass in hand! 🍷
