Things To Do

Go off the beaten path and experience the more leisurely side of Napa Valley. Since 1969 wine lovers have sought out Cuvaison’s warm hospitality and award-winning wines: our tasting room features Cuvaison favorites, as well as limited-edition wines available only at the winery, and we offer tours of our wine caves. You’re welcome to linger and enjoy the beauty of northern Napa Valley with a picnic in the shade of our majestic oak trees.

Hey there kayak lovers and soon to be. We are up and paddling in Baja. However, the winter storms will hopefully provide some great sliding opportunities while filling the lake. We plan to offer all our great services starting next May, 2008. You can paddle right from our shop, arrange a tour in Emerald Bay or arrange a drop-off. (see rentals and/or tours)

The truckee river marsh is full, beautiful, teaming with wildlife and an easy paddle from our shop. Our guided Emerald Bay trips offer world class scenery and are in full swing. This trip offers an easy way to get on the water in Lake Tahoe's most beautiful area, including a visit to the only Island on Lake Tahoe. This trip requires no experience and our guide will fill you in on Tahoe's unique wildlife, geology and other fun facts.

For the more adventurous we offer drop-offs at the closest public beach (Baldwin) to Emerald Bay (see Rentals). We continue to have the largest demo/rental fleet at the lake and will make sure you get the proper kayak for your needs whether renting or buying.

The boat-in campground at Emerald Bay is filling up fast for the summer. Call 800-444-7275 to make a reservation for camping, then call us to reserve kayaks. This campground is on the water in Emerald Bay and for watercraft only- need I say more?

Long-term rentals - We offer week-long rentals starting at $175 for singles. Drop-offs available.

The water trail map (laketahoewatertrail.org) is out and we have them for sale at $8.95 @ tax.

Our special events page is updated with the big factory rep demo day scheduled for July 13th, 2008.
