Effortless Bespoke Dining at Home

the experience:

"Awesome, superb, and exceptional are sometimes overused in ratings, but when deserved, should be stated; and deserved they were with this experience. We are a group of well-traveled individuals who were looking for a very special dinner and evening. Chef Garcia delivered. From our first conversation to our farewells, he made it easy. What we got was an exceptional menu and a truly memorable experience. Not to be missed. Highly recommend Chef Garcia." 6/30/25 Calistoga

Bio:

Chef Joshua Garcia has built his career in the heart of California Wine Country, developing a style rooted in seasonal ingredients, local sourcing and bold, balanced flavors. After honing his skills with Sonoma County restaurants including John Ash & Co. and Stark Reality Restaurants, he went on to build an extensive private dining and events practice throughout the Bay Area. That experience includes a decade with Paula LeDuc Fine Catering, where he has worked as a senior event chef and training mentor on some of the Bay Area’s most high-profile events.

Today, Chef Josh also brings his Wine Country sensibility to Okaeri/Kanpai Napa, where he creates elevated California seasonal breakfast menus, as well as private culinary experiences. A longtime advocate of farm-to-table and Slow Food cooking, he approaches each custom menu as an expression of the season, the setting and the people gathered around the table. He is Level 2 certified by the Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET).
