Restaurant-quality dining in your estate
A private chef for vineyard estates and lodges in Luján de Cuyo, Chacras de Coria, Maipú and the Uco Valley around Tupungato and Tunuyán. I cook live-fire asados among the vines, tasting dinners matched to your wines, and weddings under the Andes.
Mendoza is Malbec country, with Cabernet Franc and Torrontés alongside, and I cook to match the bottles on the table. I roast beef and chivito on the parrilla and the infiernillo, cook vegetables and whole pumpkins buried in the embers, and use the olive oil from Maipú, local quince, walnuts and stone fruit. Dry mountain herbs and smoke give the food the same clean, high-desert character as the wine.
I have spent a decade in Michelin-starred kitchens, as Sous Chef of R&D in the Noma group and Head Chef at Kokkeriet, and I bring that standard to every table I cook for. My story.

Private chef in Mendoza: good to know
Can you cook with the wines from the estate where we are staying?
Yes. Tell me which bottles you plan to open and I build each course around them.
Do you work in the Uco Valley as well as around Mendoza city?
Yes. Travel and accommodation are added to the quote, and I plan menus and shopping before I arrive.
Is harvest time a good time to book?
Yes, but the Vendimia season in late summer is busy, so it is worth asking early. A date is locked when a deposit of at least 60 percent is received. Until then it is only a hold.
Getting married in Mendoza?
I cook weddings at vineyard estates in the Uco Valley and Luján de Cuyo, with the Andes behind them, from an intimate dinner to 500 guests. See wedding catering in Mendoza.
