Mountain Mixology

Craft infused spirits, vermouth, bitters & syrups with Tahoe botanicals—exploring folklore, flavor, and the art of herbal mixology. Ages 21+ Led by Naturalist/Ethnobotanist/Chocolate Maker Brian Wallace, this experiential workshop explores the rich intersection of plants, folklore, and spirits. Participants will learn to craft infused spirits, fortified botanical wines such as vermouth, cocktail bitters, and herbal simple syrups using locally sourced botanicals from the Lake Tahoe basin. The class will also introduce foundational mixology techniques and demonstrate a handful of botanically forward cocktails featuring ingredients such as absinthe and other herbal liqueurs. Along the way, we’ll explore the cultural history of herbal spirits—from medicinal tonics to celebratory elixirs—and how plants have shaped both tradition and taste. In this class we will learn how to develop a relationship with the land through tasting it, growing reverence for the roots and trees with every sip.

Wild Edible & Medicinal Plants of Shirley Canyon

One of Tahoe’s most beloved hikes, winds alongside cascading waterfalls, offering a rich living classroom of medicinal plant species. Join Dr. Elena Roemer, L.Ac and Brian Wallace, Certified California Naturalist, as we explore the edible and medicinal plants of the Lake Tahoe basin through both Western herbal actions and Chinese medicine energetics, while weaving in local ecology, plant folklore, and seasonal rhythms. We’ll focus on learning how to truly see and relate to plants—how to identify them, understand their properties, and approach harvesting with respect and restraint. The walk includes a guided plant sit and discussion of ethical wildcrafting, as well as gaining a clear understanding of when to harvest, while inviting a grounded, embodied relationship with the living landscape.
