Do you ever look up at the night sky, sprinkled with stars, and feel awe? We have and our upcoming “Stars, Strings, and Sipping” events, September through December, and will transform “awe” into “awesome” at the Historic Carson Valley’s Historian Inn.
You won’t want to miss the natural show.
Travel the Milky Way and beyond with star guide, astronomer, and poet, Tony Berendsen of Tahoe Star Tours. As President of the Nevada Science Coalition, Tony’s passion and expertise, and high-powered telescope, make viewing the wonders of astronomy entertaining and educating. His thrill at what nature produces in space manifests itself through his original poetry. Readings from his “Poastromy” and “Other Worlds” collections are sure to enhance our scanning of the night sky.
In the 70s movie, “Close Encounters of the Third Kind,” music played an important communication tool. Perhaps the talents of our Reno Philharmonic friends and the music they will play live will have the same effect.
What is a star gazing party without fantastic food and drink?
Boring!
Sample our appetizers from the best of local chefs, wine poured by experts and for our younger astronomy fans – hot chocolate.
Look at the following calendar of Mother Nature’s artistry in the sky. Book a room and come get starry-eyed with us.
