An exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at connection, creativity, and thoughtfully curated experiences at Visit California’s Luxury Forum, hosted by Lake Tahoe Travel at The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe.

From bespoke 3D Lake Tahoe wood maps by Tahoe Gifting to immersive, hands-on moments like cairn building, floral design, salsa making at Montesa, and tea crafting, each experience was designed to inspire and foster meaningful connection.

Days were anchored by speaker sessions and 1:1 appointments, while evenings unfolded with a Northstar California Resort dine-around, champagne toasts, curated wine tastings, and live music set against the backdrop of the picturesque ice rink. Signature touches, including s’mores and confections, created a warm and memorable atmosphere.

Featuring insights from industry leaders, the forum seamlessly blended business, storytelling, and a distinctive sense of place.
