Goodness Gracious Private Chef + Catering

We’d be lying if we said the Mezze Board wasn’t our absolute favorite way to kick off our Al Fresco Mediterranean dinners. 😍🍃🥂

Abundant, colorful, and made for lingering over good wine—followed by four family-style courses, paired boutique bottles, and a sparkling clean kitchen before we say goodnight.

Available through October for intimate groups of 18 or fewer (minimum 7 days advance booking required).

This is why I started a dinner party business.

It’s hard to explain — it’s not really about the food, even though the food matters. It’s a feeling. It’s the difference between eating at a restaurant and having someone step into your home for one night and become part of the story you’ll tell for years.
Every detail matters to us because we know those details are what people actually remember — not just our guests, but us too. Nine years in, still 5 stars, and I think it’s because people can feel when a meal is being cared for instead of just served.

There’s a kind of love that comes out of these gatherings. That’s what we’re chasing, every time.

Everyone plans the wine tasting. Almost no one thinks about what happens after.

We do.

While you spend the day discovering Wine Country, we’re preparing the meal that brings everyone back together. Fresh ingredients, a table that’s ready when you walk in, and an evening where nobody has to cook or clean.

We don’t just make dinner. We make it possible for the people around the table to stay together a little longer.

Hiring a private chef isn’t about luxury. It’s about protecting the best part of the trip.

If you’re staying in Wine Country, we’d love to create the dinner party waiting for you at home. 🍃

Glen Ellen is a largely undiscovered gem for many who visit Sonoma County. Located about ten miles north of Sonoma proper, the small town is just over two square miles, anchored by Jack London State Historic Park and the Sonoma Botanical Garden.

We love walking into an unfamiliar kitchen and making it feel effortless. 🍃✨🍇

Our chef and server arrive with what we need (tools, ingredients, drinks, and the little details that make the table feel cared for), then we settle in and start cooking—quietly, calmly, and with a lot of intention.

Because the best part of a dinner like this isn’t the “perfect” setup. It’s watching everyone relax into the evening.

Would you do a private cooking night on your next Sonoma trip? 🍃
