Private Chef in Sonoma

Sonoma's bounty, cooked and served at your table.

We've been cooking in Sonoma Valley since 2016, and our kitchen is based right here in Glen Ellen. When you hire a Goodness Gracious private chef, you get a team that knows this valley: the farmers, the winemakers, and what's at its peak at the market this week.

We come to your home or vacation rental anywhere in Sonoma, from the Plaza to Glen Ellen, Kenwood, Boyes Hot Springs and the Carneros. We bring everything, cook in your kitchen, serve your guests, and leave the kitchen clean.

Ways to dine

  • Plated dinners and chef's tasting menus for birthdays, anniversaries and milestone celebrations

  • Family-style feasts like our Hearth & Harvest dinner, made for passing platters and lingering at the table

  • Brunch with bubbles and vineyard picnics for daytime gatherings

Cooked with Sonoma ingredients

Our menus are built around local farms and producers, such as Oak Hill, Sunray, and Flatbed, and paired beautifully with Sonoma wines.

We've cooked at Casa Bella, Wolf & Horseshoe, Benziger, Kohmsa and countless backyard dinner parties in between.


With more than 210 five-star reviews, we've been making wine country gatherings feel effortless since 2016.
