New coffee and wine bar a place to revive, recharge and relax

I think I've found my new favorite spot in South Lake Tahoe! As I walked through the front gate of the Revive Coffee & Wine, I instantly felt at home as the decor both inside and out matched my pinterest boards and crafty endeavors and the smiling and friendly staff was more than welcoming.

Revive Coffee & Wine is a new South Lake Tahoe business inside the old Pichetti Winery at 3135 Harrison Avenue, sharing the space with South Tahoe Standup Paddle.

The story behind the name "revive" is a special one.

Opinion: Air quality in Lake Tahoe

To keep Tahoe cherished and known for its beauty, locals try in their best efforts to “keep Tahoe blue.” Sadly, negative effects in our ecosystems come from humans which could damage the clarity of the lake and the air quality. Bad air quality comes from numerous sources, such as car emissions, uncontained fires, and contributors to toxic runoff into the forest; these sources of pollution must be stopped.
