Chef John Vlandis cooks with organic ingredients whenever possible, often incorporating herbs and vegetables from his own garden. He makes everything—stocks, sauces, condiments, breads and more—from scratch, so he can control the quality and flavors of his cuisine.

 

John is especially passionate about pairing food with wine, a skill he fine-tuned during his four years as Executive Chef of the Hess Collection Winery. His food features flavors and dishes that complement wine, rather than compete with it. Chef John’s talent for creating memorable dining experiences is only surpassed by his love and passion for the food he creates.
