The Experience

Hospitality that reflects well on you

A corporate event or winery client dinner isn't just a meal — it's a reflection of your brand, your team, and how much care you put into the people you're hosting. A stressful, generic catering experience undercuts that; a seamless, elevated one reinforces it.

Chef Rafael has spent a decade embedded in Napa Valley's wine industry — working alongside proprietors, hosting winery guests, and understanding exactly what a polished, professional event requires. That experience shows up in every detail, so you can focus on your guests, not the logistics.

Corporate & wine-industry event FAQs

The questions event planners and hosts ask most before booking Chef Rafael.

Yes — corporate and wine-industry events are regularly hosted on-site at wineries, offices, and event venues. A venue walkthrough or logistics call is part of planning any off-site event, to confirm kitchen access, timing, and staffing needs.
For larger events (50+ guests) or events during peak wine-country season (May–October), 2–3 months' notice is recommended to secure staffing and sourcing. Smaller executive dinners can often be arranged on a shorter timeline.
Yes. Certificates of insurance can be provided for venues or corporate clients that require documentation ahead of an event — just let us know what your venue or company needs as part of the proposal process.
A detailed proposal and invoice are provided upfront, so the cost can be reviewed and approved internally before the event is confirmed. Standard business payment terms and W-9 documentation are available on request.
Absolutely — vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and allergy-specific plates are planned alongside the main menu, so every guest is accommodated without a separate "special meal" feel, even across a large or mixed group.
Corporate events typically range from small executive dinners of 8–10 up to large client events of 100+ guests. Staffing and format are scaled to your guest count and venue during the proposal process.
Yes — Chef Rafael regularly works alongside event planners, venue coordinators, and winery staff to keep the culinary side aligned with the rest of the event's timing and logistics.
