Taste of Gold

LTCC Foundation Taste of Gold Event photo
 

Taste of Gold, the LTCC Foundation's annual fundraiser in support of students and academic programs, takes place Saturday, August 9, 2025 from 6pm-8pm. Enjoy an evening under the pines on our beautiful mountain campus, with award-winning California wines and a generous sampling of tasty treats from Lake Tahoe area restaurants and eateries. Proceeds from this event directly help students by supporting programs including the Lake Tahoe College Promise (provides free tuition for up to 3 years), Student Success Grants, and the emergency textbook fund. These programs support bright, hard-working students who, with your support, can reach their full potential!

The annual fundraiser will blend the quiet comfort of shady pine trees and the sweet summer sun on the community playing fields, adjacent to LTCC's campus. Attendees will be offered California wines, beers from local breweries, and culinary creations from local restaurants. Local flamenco guitarist, Milton Merlos, will play live music for all to enjoy.

Visit the LTCC Foundation's Taste of Gold webpage to learn more about being an event sponsor.

A link to purchase 2025 tickets will be available closer to the event.
