André is based in Napa, so the valley is not a destination for him. It is where he shops, where his own garden grows, and where his relationships with farmers, ranchers and winemakers were built. Dinners here begin with what is ripe that week, often grown a few miles from the table.
He designs coursed dinners for homes and estates from Carneros to Calistoga, harvest dinners among the vines, winemaker pairing evenings, and celebrations for families hosting guests through the season. For winery properties he works with the winemaking team so the menu is written around the wines in the glass.

Questions
Does André cook at estates and vacation homes in Napa Valley?
Yes. He cooks in private homes, estates, vacation properties and winery spaces throughout the valley. He learns about the kitchen and the setting ahead of time and brings what the evening needs.
Can André design a dinner around our wines?
Yes. Pairing is central to his Napa work. He can build a menu around your cellar, a single producer, or a winemaker who will be at the table, and he works directly with winery teams on estate events.
When should we book for harvest season?
August through October is the busiest time of year in Napa Valley. For harvest dates, inquire as early as possible, ideally several months ahead.
