The Tahoe Pourhouse is now open to the public. Lead by Chef Mark Davis, Chef Edwin Winslow and Scott Strong, the self-serve wine bar and restaurant held its soft opening on May 6, and will host a ribbon cutting celebration with the Tahoe Chamber on May 18 from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. to kick-off a weekend of grand opening festivities. All are invited to enjoy wine from one of 20 self-serve taps, as well as wine by the glass, bottles for sale, and a selection of signature salads, sandwiches and small plates.

Tahoe Pourhouse strives to provide the finest food and drink at the highest standard, while educating members of the community on local, sustainable farm to table recipes and products, certified fair trade coffee wine and food pairings, and the work of fine artists from around the world. They are open 6:00 a.m. – 10:00 p.m. seven days a week serving breakfast, lunch (salads and sandwiches), and gourmet small plates at dinner.

Chef Mark Davis began his culinary career at age 15, working his way up from dishwasher in Concord, CA to Certified Executive Chef (CEC) at various restaurants and hotels across the United States. He is also a competitive Ice Sculptor recognized around the world for his innovation, style, and skill in carving, design and sculpture.

Fifty-year Tahoe local, Chef Edwin Winslow started working in the Kitchen Maintenance department of Harvey’s Hotel and Casino as a pot washer in 1975, later joining the culinary team in the famous Sage Room Steak House. This position inspired him to contribute more than 40 years of dedicated service to the industry with jobs ranging from Room Chef, Sous Chef, and Executive Chef. Like Chef Davis, he is also a competitive ice sculptor. Chef Winslow started competitive carving on the international level in 1996, and opened Ice Magic Sculptures in 1998.
