Goodness Gracious Private Chef + Catering

07/23/2026

Everyone plans the wine tasting. Almost no one thinks about what happens after.

We do.

While you spend the day discovering Wine Country, we’re preparing the meal that brings everyone back together. Fresh ingredients, a table that’s ready when you walk in, and an evening where nobody has to cook or clean.

We don’t just make dinner. We make it possible for the people around the table to stay together a little longer.

Hiring a private chef isn’t about luxury. It’s about protecting the best part of the trip.

If you’re staying in Wine Country, we’d love to create the dinner party waiting for you at home. 🍃

We love walking into an unfamiliar kitchen and making it feel effortless. 🍃✨🍇

Our chef and server arrive with what we need (tools, ingredients, drinks, and the little details that make the table feel cared for), then we settle in and start cooking—quietly, calmly, and with a lot of intention.

Because the best part of a dinner like this isn’t the “perfect” setup. It’s watching everyone relax into the evening.

Would you do a private cooking night on your next Sonoma trip? 🍃

When the ingredients are this fresh, the plate does the talking.

Our burrata salad is built around what’s in season—then finished with a glossy balsamic glaze you’ll want on every bite.

We made it to the big screen! 🍿🎥

Goodness Gracious was recently featured on — a lifestyle series hosted by Telly Award winner Tara Polly, airing nationally on Travel Channel, CNBC, and local NBC, CBS, and FOX affiliates, with streaming on Apple TV, Roku, and Amazon Fire. Her YouTube channel is easily accessible . We linked it in our bio so you can watch the full episode!

We had the honor of preparing a private fine dining experience for host Tara at one of our stunning partner properties — and I couldn’t be more proud of our team for bringing it to life.

The HauteSheet spotlights the people, places, and cultural moments shaping modern California living, and being counted among them is something we’re truly excited for.

Let us know what you think of the episode!
