Reno continues to draw in people from all over the world, especially as our city develops, and as we see companies open their doors. The Biggest Little City becomes a beacon to big businesses, small startups, and entrepreneurs at heart, but the move to a new city can be daunting. That’s why we’ve put together this checklist of things to do, places to visit, and experiences to make you feel like a Renoite in no time.

  1. Kayak the Truckee River Whitewater Park – Or if kayaking isn’t your thing, grab your floaties and go tubing along the Truckee River!
  2. Try out some of the local breweries and distilleries in the area – We recommend checking out 10 Torr Distilling and Brewing, Brasserie Saint James Brewing, and The Depot Craft Brewery Distillery.
  3. Mountain bike the Flume Trail.
  4. Participate in a Wine Walk.
  5. Have a lazy day in North Lake Tahoe – Bonsai Rock, Sand Harbor, and Chimney Beach are great destination spots.
  6. Watch the sunrise over Emerald Bay.
  7. Participate in a bar crawl.
  8. Have a ski/snowboard day, or at least sip some cocoa in a lodge – There are tons of resorts in the area including Donner Ski Ranch, Squaw Valley, and Mt. Rose.
  9. Have a museum day and learn about the history of some amazing artifacts – Check out the National Automobile Museum, The Discovery, Nevada State Museum, and the Nevada State Railroad Museum.
  10. Soak in some of the most beautiful and relaxing hot springs in the world.
  11. Take a selfie under the Reno arch.
  12. Go coffee tasting and find your favorite local spot – There’s a reason Reno has become one of the biggest coffee cultures in the west. Hub Coffee Roasters, Lighthouse Coffee, and Old World Coffee Lab are great places to start.
  13. Catch a movie at West Wind El Rancho.
  14. Visit the world’s largest all-sports store – Be sure to ride the Scheels Ferris wheel while you’re there!
  15. Take a cruise on South Lake Tahoe’s MS Dixie II.
  16. Hike the iconic “N.”
  17. Catch an Aces game.
  18. Step back in time, and explore the Wild West of Virginia City.

Even if you aren’t a Reno native, you’ll be feeling like a Renoite after completing just a few of the items on this list. If you’re curious about what the Biggest Little City has to offer and you’re considering making the move to Reno, contact the David Morris Group.

Celebrating October with Boos and Brews

 

Reno’s wine walks are almost as legendary as the bar crawls, but for the casual beer drinker that just enjoys sampling a few of the newest brews, Reno has you covered too! With fall just kicking off and with the Halloween season upon us, it’ll be time to switch out those pale ales for stouts and porters. For some of the best breweries to visit this autumn, just keep scrolling!

 

  1. Lead Dog Brewing – There’s nothing quite like an Oktoberfest brew to make it feel like the fall season is upon us. Lead Dog Brewing’s locations in Reno and Sparks will have you waxing your board in preparation for the fresh powder with just a few sips of their seasonal brews.
  2. 10 Torr – For those who love a play on words, you’ll want to check out 10 Torr’s newly-released Hazemania Devil, a Double NE IPA made with hops straight from Tazmania. There’s also a coffee stout set to be released in October, and we’re sure it’ll be just as mouth-watering as the rest of their brews.
  3. The Depot – If you crave anything pumpkin flavored as soon as fall is even mentioned, you’ll want to get more than a few tastes of the Pumpkin Brown Ale, The Pilgrim, at The Depot. With a pale lager, a smoked pilsner, and a wild ale to round out their seasonal brews, there’s something for every beer lover here!
  4. Great Basin Brewing Company – As Nevada’s oldest brewery, Great Basin Brewing Company knows how to make the flavors of the season pop in a variety of their beers. The Reno and Sparks locations will have Oktoberfest and Deathwish APA that will pay homage to the fall flavors, so be sure to give them a whirl.
  5. Pigeon Head Brewery – As Reno’s first brewery to think about brewing on a larger scale, there’s always a variety of tasty beers to try, but for something that has a little more of a fall vibe, try Red Rye Lager, the India Pale Lager, or their signature Oktoberfest brew.

 

There are a ton of places to visit in order to get into the fall spirit. Before the streets are overrun with zombies, witches, and ghosts for a spooky Halloween celebration, be sure to sip some of the seasonal specialties at the breweries around town. If you happen to find a local hot spot you frequent and would love a home nearby, give our team a call! We’re happy to work with you to find your dream home in your dream neighborhood.
