Heavenly Village is the place to be! With an extensive schedule of events and entertainment, The Village is sure to have something exciting for everyone. The Shops At Heavenly Village offer over 40 unique shopping outlets, eateries and entertainment venues and is the shopping center of South Lake Tahoe. Enjoy the traditional Tahoe ambience with a distinct European village flair…meandering cobblestone sidewalks, wooden archways, covered walkways, open bonfire pits, clock tower, stone fountain and more. And, the Heavenly Gondola is in the center of it all providing visitors the opportunity to view Lake Tahoe in all its glory.

Shops

The Village offers an intriguingly eclectic mix of upscale lifestyle apparel and accessories, sporting goods, fine arts, regional and gourmet foods, fine wines, and local brews. Drop off the kids at the Village Arcade or Area 51 Lasertag for hours of fun and enjoy an afternoon of shopping and wine tasting. Or take a scenic ride on the Gondola, and then enjoy lunch or dinner in one of the nine tantalizing eateries. The Village offers everything you need for a full day of fun, from high performance bike equipment for a day on the mountains to relaxing by the fireside with a glass of Pinot Noir after a long day of shopping in the stores and galleries.

The Village continues to grow and now offers a THX certified 8-plex Cinema which is showing first-run movies. Be sure to try their incredible popcorn with real butter!

Tahoe Country is a Tahoe themed shop offering a first-class selection of regional art, gifts and books in addition to art and writing supplies. It’s a one-of-a-kind shop not to be missed.

Restaurants

In addition to all the tantalizing shopping, be sure to enjoy the incredible flavors of Kalani’s Restaurant (that's Hawaiian for Heavenly), offering sushi, Pacific-island and Hawaii-style fine dining integrated with flavors of Asian and European cuisines, spices and sauces. These flavors will fuse together to create bold and exciting dishes sure to stimulate your palate.

Fire & Ice is a new dining concept by Marriott. It’s an “improv” grill where customers create their own meals. There are no menus. Customers shop for their food at the Marketplace, where several stations of fresh meat, seafood, vegetables and pastas are displayed on ice along with a dozen different sauces. Diners then take their selections to the grill where the grill master “fires up” each meal right before customers’ eyes with the entertaining flourishes of a performance artist. One, affordable price is charged for lunch and dinner for both adults and kids. In addition to custom meals, Fire & Ice offers some enticing desserts like S’mores as well as specialty drinks and infusions that are popular with the Apres-ski set.

The Wrap House serves breakfast and lunch in a warm and friendly café environment. Wrap sandwiches are their specialty – delicious, fresh combinations wrapped in flour tortillas. Caffe Umbria Italian coffee is proudly served and colorful Deruta ceramics from Italy are available for purchase along with other coffee accessories. Fresh pastries, muffins, bagels and fresh soups are also available. Don’t miss their seasonal coffee drink specials such as a Pumpkin Spice Latte with pumpkin whipped cream or a Gingerbread Latte with vanilla bean whipped cream. The employees are trained Baristas, so you know it’ll be good.

Now you can get good food fast at Wolfgang Puck Express. Manager Luis Ubaldo is as colorful as the décor, and makes you feel welcome and satisfied. Wolfgang Puck Express serves gourmet pizzas, pastas, fresh salads, soups and sandwiches (hot and cold) on bread baked in their wood-oven. They also offer wine and beer and delicious desserts such as tiramisu. Customers are given a vibrating ready light that lets them know when their food is ready, while providing a good laugh. It’s a great place to take the whole family to eat.
