Napa & Sonoma, California

Catering

In Napa & Sonoma: Twelve caterers serve the two counties and the market is strong. Two regional rules shape the menu. If any part of your day happens at a winery under a Sonoma event permit, the code requires food service to be secondary and incidental to wine, and cooked-to-order food is prohibited outright — which rules out the live station, the chef's counter and anything plated to order on site. Ask early whether your site sits under that permit, because it changes the menu rather than the price. Second, the dry season is genuinely dry: normal rainfall from June through September totals half an inch across the region, so an outdoor kitchen is a realistic plan here in a way it is not almost anywhere else in this catalog. Budget $125 to $300 a head, and confirm what sits on top of it.
