Restaurateur, television star, and philanthropist Lisa Vanderpump is preparing to introduce her distinctive and innovative design style to Northern Nevada with the highly anticipated opening of Wolf by Vanderpump at Harveys Lake Tahoe. This upcoming establishment will mark Vanderpump’s inaugural concept in Lake Tahoe and is scheduled to welcome guests this winter.
Originally from London, England, Lisa Vanderpump has built a remarkable career as a businesswoman, TV personality, author, and philanthropist. Alongside her husband Ken Todd, she has been deeply involved in the restaurant and nightclub industry for over 30 years. The duo has achieved great success with their four thriving restaurants and bars located in Los Angeles (SUR, Villa Blanca, PUMP, and Tom Tom Restaurant and Bar). Additionally, Vanderpump has made her mark with Vanderpump Cocktail Garden at Caesars Palace Las Vegas and Vanderpump à Paris at the Paris Las Vegas. Wolf by Vanderpump will become their 37th venture in the restaurant and bar scene. Vanderpump’s fame skyrocketed through her appearances on the hit Bravo TV series, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, as well as her role as an Executive Producer on Vanderpump Rules. Her unique blend of dazzling glamour and down-to-earth style has resonated with a vast audience.
Lisa Vanderpump expressed her excitement about Wolf, stating, “The restaurant will exude bold and unique design, drawing inspiration from the character and identity of the wolf itself. The opportunity to create a lavish and indulgent space that reflects the natural beauty of Lake Tahoe was irresistible. Through our design company Vanderpump Alain, Wolf will showcase breathtaking lighting, custom-made furniture, and remarkable visual elements. The cuisine will be decadent, the cocktails will embody both earthiness and Instagram appeal, and the entire experience is something we are eagerly bringing to Lake Tahoe. ‘Wolf’ holds additional significance as it is a family name and the middle name of my grandson Teddy.”
Every aspect of the venue will be intricately intertwined with the wolf, a creature known for its intelligence, complexity, and a range of characteristics including boldness, strength, playfulness, mischief, ferocity, care, and devotion to family. Wolf by Vanderpump aims to deliver a unique and tailored dining experience, showcasing Vanderpump Alain’s original creations within an opulent and serene environment.
The centerpiece of the space will be a stunning bar, commanding attention with its captivating visuals. Following the tradition of Vanderpump’s other locations, the extensive cocktail menu will feature a blend of innovative concoctions and reimagined classics, playing with traditional recipes while presenting new and unseen options. Hand-crafted drinks will pay homage to local themes and flavors, accentuated by visually striking garnishes and artistic presentations.
Guests at Wolf by Vanderpump will be treated to a diverse and inventive menu, designed to excite their taste buds with imaginative flavors. The offerings will include both reinterpreted favorites and decadent shareable bites, carefully crafted to delight the senses. The menu will adapt to the seasons, incorporating regional ingredients and drawing inspiration from the local culinary landscape.
Wolf by Vanderpump represents Vanderpump’s third partnership with Caesars Entertainment, joining the ranks of esteemed establishments such as Vanderpump à Paris at Paris Las Vegas and Vanderpump Cocktail Garden at Caesars Palace. However, Wolf by Vanderpump will mark a significant milestone as the first joint venture outside of Las Vegas. Positioned adjacent to Hell’s Kitchen on the southern side of Harveys, the restaurant is eagerly anticipated to open its doors this winter, welcoming guests into its captivating and unforgettable dining experience.
