Private Dining Manager

• Jan 2007 - Jul 2007

I was essentially in charge of all food and beverage events on the Winery Estate which included a word class equestrian center. The residence of the owners where also on site, and they entertained many clients and friends with events that I managed from start to finish. I partnered with the Chef and Wine Maker to produce epic events on property from 2 to 200. An example would be food and wine pairings in which I selected wines to be paired with Chef's menu items produced from estate garden ingredients. We hosted parties of up to 200 in the equestrian center with fine service that I designed and maintained. Show less
