Growing up in Northern California we have been incredibly blessed with an array of fresh, local and seasonal ingredients, boutique wine and inspirational chefs-namely Thomas Keller of French Laundry and the modern mother of the Slow Food movement, Alice Waters. With this in mind and the Northern California bounty readily available, don't skim on your wedding menu. Lake Tahoe catering companies, High Pointe Event Catering, D'lish Catering and As You Wish Catering, are offering innovative, seasonal menus from local ingredients. From herb infused libations to farm-to-table dinners we've gathered some of our favorite food ideas and inspirations available in Lake Tahoe.
