The Gilded Grape is a Sonoma-based catering company specializing in modern Wine Country fare for your intimate life celebrations such as small weddings, reunions, anniversaries, birthdays, and gatherings with close friends. With a true passion for her work, Chef Lee Ann Geneve’s distinctive food and flavors are inspired by the traditions of Spanish missions, French farmhouse cuisine, and rustic It
alian styles. From 'Field to Table' we pride ourselves on displays of colorful platters with exclusive organically grown fruits, herbs and vegetables, locally raised meats and poultry, artisan cheeses and olives, and the very freshest shellfish and seafood caught just off our rugged coastline. There are four distinct seasons of the vineyards here in California's legendary Wine Country, providing a cornucopia of vibrant offerings. All of our menus proudly align with the local annual events such as the Mustard Festival and ‘The Breaking of the Bud’ celebrations in the springtime, as well as summer's Lavender Harvest and Heirloom Tomato Festival, Autumn’s anticipated wine crush season, and that winter favorite – the Olive Festival. The Wine Country is a picturesque setting any time of year, further enhanced by the exuberant flavors that pair so beautifully with our local wines. For most of the year the temperate climate presents guests with opportunities for alfresco dining....enjoying a meal served outdoors, the buffet table abundant, leisurely and casual – bringing loved ones together for a memorable experience. Upon request, The Gilded Grape is happy to provide a professional staff of servers, a wine sommelier for private pairings and tastings, as well as soft acoustic guitarist to fill the air with music. Delicious basket lunches can be created for a picnic, and bountiful platters are available for delivery. And how about arranging a cooking class with Chef Lee Ann – a fun and festive activity for you and your friends? Let Chef Lee Ann and The Gilded Grape handcraft a menu for you to ensure a most memorable Wine Country Experience!
