    Amazing encounter

    From the moment I first exchanged emails then spoke with Don, I knew he was the one. No doubt! When he first described the menu options, my mouth watered. I knew this was a guy that was pursuing his passion and doing it his way! We went and had a free date night getting to know him and tasting all his creations. The day of our wedding, he did not disappoint. He delivered on every promise and everything went as he said. He even shucked our oysters for a small fee. I highly recommend anyone try him, but most importantly enjoy the experience with him. He is a lovely person and I will never forget him and how well he took care of all of us. Thank you, Chef Don!❤️

    Best Catering Around, Wedding Perfection because of WCAC!!!

    There is not enough characters to explain how AMAZING and TALENTED Wine Country Artisnas Catering is. Their attention to detail, taste, presentation, professionalism and commitment is PURE PERFECTION! It was beyond a pleasure to work with Stacy and Don for my wedding catering. They hosted us for a tasting of all the course choices and blew us away! They had rentals at hand, staff and amazing meals and desserts! Everything was delicious and perfect at the wedding I couldn't of been more pleased! Our guests ranted and raved about how good EVERYTHING was! Stacy, is the best! She was like a second coordinator making sure everything was handled and was so easy to work with answer all questions and emails right away! If you don't hire them, you're missing out because they ARE THE BEST! Any event we have we know who we will be contacting!!!!

    Simply Incredible - You Won't Be Disappointed!

    We cannot say enough about Don and Stacy and the service they provided - it was excellent! We hired Don and Stacy to cater a private event (anniversary/celebration party) we held in Windsor, CA. Although we came from Southern California, Don and Stacy made everything very easy and stress free. They were incredibly customer service focused, they had great suggestions to meet our needs and they were very responsive via email and phone. They understood what we were going for and helped to suggest an incredible menu and worked with us to ensure the tables, linens and flatware looked just as we wanted - including selecting copper flatware to match the chargers we choose to complete the look. Leading up to the event, they worked to ensure that everything was on point to what we envisioned (table set up, buffet set up, etc.) and delivered every detail beautifully for the actual event. The food was INCREDIBLE - our guests could not stop raving about everything from the passed appetizers to the luxurious buffet and desserts. Not only was the food amazingly delicious, the presentation of every single thing was top notch. During the event, Stacy directed a great team with ease and ensured that every guest had what they needed and was always two steps ahead in anticipating what they might need! You can tell they have a love for what they do and how they do it -- it certainly showed throughout our event. Don and Stacy and their team exceeded all our expectations and made our event a huge success. I highly recommend them - you won't be disappointed. They go the extra mile to ensure you have amazing food and incredible presentation.

    Thank you, Don and Stacy, for making our event such a success!

    Don and Stacy and their team catered our wedding and we could not be happier. From the beginning, they were super helpful and responsive to all of our questions. They were laid back and professional, which is an amazing combination. They helped us think through some of the logistics for the day and even did a site visit beforehand to ensure everything would run smoothly on the wedding day. Overall they were a delight to work with.

    On top of all that, the food was delicious and it didn't break the bank. I can't tell you how many compliments we got on the food (a custom taco bar). Some people said it was the best wedding meal they have ever had (and our friends aren't the kind of people who say things just to be nice). I highly, highly recommend their services for your next event!

    WIne Country Artisans did a fantastic job preparing and serving wonderful food comparable to a five star restaurant. Our event was an outdoor wedding rehearsal dinner for 120 guests. They made use of an on-premise wood fired pizza oven to prepare multiple varieties of appetizers and brought in their equipment to create delicious entrees. They even conducted a mozzarella/burrata making demonstration. The event concluded with the serving of fantastic gelato and coffee. Don,Stacy and staff were very professional and executed a flawless event.

    Chef Don and Stace were such gems to work with! They go way above and beyond of what is expected. Always available to answer questions, and Stace was great on making sure I had everything ordered and taken care of. Dons food and display are exquisite and mouth watering. I had so many guest tell me how much they loved the food at our wedding! Passed horderves were on point and everyone loved them! I can't thank Chef Don and Stace enough for everything!!

    Don & Stacy are amazing professionals, chefs, organizers and humans! We got married in a remote wedding venue and Don & Stacy pulled off the impossible by keeping 120 people fed, happy and raving about the food! Working with them was the least stressful part of wedding planning - every interaction was a joy and they were unbelievably thoughtful throughout - offering little touches to make the wedding feel even more special. It is hard to express how emphatically I recommend this team! If you are considering hiring them for a wedding or special event, do it! If you ask them for references, I hope they'll send you in my direction.

    Wine Country Artisans Catering is one of the outstanding vendors for our wedding this August in Sonoma. They are recommended to us through our venue/contracted event coordinator and we are very happy to have Chef Don and Stacy to cater our big day! They are very professional, friendly and accommodating from day 1 when we did the tasting at the commercial kitchen. The food was amazing and the table set up was flawless! It made our decision so much easier that we said yes to our coordinator right at that afternoon after the tasting!
    At the wedding, Stacy took the time and brought me water and some appetizers in the bridal room. I was so pleased given how little I had eaten that day, and I was going to miss out the cocktail session lol The appetizers, along with the plated dinner, were as good as how we tasted back in their commercial kitchen, and our guests absolutely love it! Our wedding went smoothly, and Chef Don/Stacy is definitely a big part of it. Thank you!! :D

    We have had the pleasure of working with Wine Country Artisans for a number of events including weddings and corporate events. I am the owner of an affiliate bartending company and look forward to every event I get to do with them. Stacy is amazing at coordinating and managing their awesome team who are always on point and super professional. She is such a sweet, organized and personable individual! And the man behind the magic , Chef Don always provides a 5 star experience with his cleverly crafted dishes and menus! I highly recommend them to any of our clients who ask for a great caterer. They are always punctual, professional, and efficient !

    Stay and Don were OUTSTANDING!!! I highly recommend using them to cater your event!!! We got married in May of 2017 and every detail exceeded my expectations. In the beginning of planning our wedding our first caterer went BK and took our deposit. :( We were VERY bummed. But then we were then introduced to Stacy and Don, they where there to pick up our broken pieces and worked dilagently to fix what we had just gone through. In the end I think it was a blessing in disguise! Don was able to duplicate the original menu we had chosen with the first caterer and the food he made was spectacular, even better than the first caterer we had originally picked! All of my guests were raving about their dinner experience days after our wedding. Stacy is one of the sweetest people I have ever met. Her communication was spot on and she did more than she was required to do on my wedding day to make it perfect. I LOVED having them at out wedding and would use them again in a heartbeat for another event. Thank you again, Stacy and Don- You two truly are AMAZING!- Meghan (Heil) Souza & Stefan Souza

    Don and Stacy went above and beyond to make our event a success. They decorated for and catered our event a couple weeks ago, and everyone is still talking about how much they enjoyed the event. They made things easy, working around our schedules and food preferences, and it felt like they took as much joy in our event as we did. Stacy was extremely patient and creative in brainstorming decorations and put together an absolutely perfect setting. Everything, from putting together a menu to coordinating final event details felt so easy that I was almost worried it was *too* easy, but no; everything turned out even better than we could have imagined without our having to think about it or lift a finger. Every item on our menu was delicious, and I'm sure that anything we would have picked would have been perfect. Food presentation was beautiful and professional. It really felt like a special meal. The service was top-notch and above and beyond. The team was present exactly at the moment something was needed, but melted into the background at other moments. Just one example of the many instances they went above the expected was that we hosted our own bar, but I noticed that Don's team made sure the glasses we brought and they helped us rent were laid out beautifully. They also helped with the plate and flatware rental, made sure we had the right tables and configuration, and made sure all the final details were taken care of without our even being aware of the details. There were no hidden costs or hassles - everything we discussed ahead of time was exactly what was on the final invoice. I am so glad we worked with them and would recommend them most highly for any event large or small you're hosting. They're so easy to work with and the result just couldn't be better.

    Well as you can tell by all the reviews below - Don and Stacy are amazing.

    We initially set out to hire a caterer to just do appetizers for our wedding at Triple S Ranch in November. We were serving Paella for our main course but did not have anything to serve during cocktail hour. We went for a tasting at their kitchen and were blown away by the food. Don makes his own buratta... it is SO good.

    THEN when we realized we were also going to need to hire staff to bus tables etc. Stacy and Don came to the rescue again. They and their staff stayed for the entire event even though they only catered the cocktail hour.

    We also ended up hiring them to do Pizza at our rehearsal dinner and to cater our farewell brunch.

    All three meals were amazing - people are still talking about the food and how wonderful Stacy and Don were.

    I can't highly recommend Don and Stacy at Wine Country Artisans enough! They made our big day so very special. Don was able to accommodate all of our menu requests, including a few last minute details on our budget. We had a wonderful, high-end Mexican feast. I was also very appreciative of his respect for free range meats and local ingredients. Stacy is just a ray of sunshine. She was on hand to make sure that the day ran smoothly and that we got fed while socializing with our guests. She really put us at ease. And now for some advise, do yourselves a favor and skip paying for an over the top wedding cake, just go with Don's desserts. They are phenomenal! Our guests were raving about his mini chocolate tortes that we paired with red wine. Thank you again, Don & Stacy!

    Don and Stacy are THE BEST!!! They catered our wedding at Leonard Lake Reserve for 3 days, and every meal was unique, fresh, and amazing. They worked around the clock from morning to night to make sure all the guests' special dietary needs were met and everyone was taken care of. Many of our guests wanted their contact information afterwards. A special shout out to Stacy who, besides performing her tasks, went out of her way to help whenever she could, from setting up and tearing down, late night snacks, s'more hours, and many many more (we called her the energizer bunny, not sure if she sleeps at all). We really got to know them and their crew during the wedding and loved everything about them. We felt so lucky to have had them as our caterers!!!

    We hired Wine Country Artisans as the caterer for our wedding weekend at Leonard Lake Reserve and they totally blew us away. I would recommend them to anyone who wants to have delicious, reasonably priced food for their wedding, made and served by some of the best people I’ve ever met.

    To start the food was phenomenal. Our guests could not stop raving about all of their favorites! For our rehearsal dinner, Don made a selection of 4 different pizzas as well as salad and they were completely mouth-watering. On Saturday, they served passed appetizers including ahi tuna tacos, bruschetta, baked brie with raspberry chipotle jam, and chili lime shrimp. Dinner was a buffet of beef short ribs, chicken, creamy polenta, Brussel sprouts and salad! Then the next morning they made a great spread for brunch including a delicious scramble! Don is truly an unbelievable chef and you can see his care in every dish you eat.

    Second, their service exceeded any and all expectations. Stacy made a point of getting to know our whole families and frequently checked in with our moms/dads/great aunts to make sure they had everything they needed. During cocktail hour on our wedding day both Don & Stacy found us to make sure that we got to try each of the 5 appetizers!

    Third, they worked tirelessly to make sure everything went smoothly. On Friday evening it was unexpectedly rainy. This made it really hard to make the pizzas in an outdoor pizza oven, but our guests (and me) didn’t have a clue. They also worked ALL weekend. Even though they only cooked for 3 meals, they organized our Costco purchased spreads for breakfast and lunch on Saturday and it looked incredible! I seriously have no idea when they slept….

    Lastly, Don and Stacy are just absolutely wonderful people. I felt they cared so deeply about my husband and I really did everything that they could to make our weekend special. I’m honored to know the two of them and gotten the chance to share this moment with them.

    Don was simply AMAZING! My now husband and I are foodies at heart and wanted a unique, local family-style dinner at our Sonoma wedding. If you are lucky enough to encounter Don's page you must set up a tasting and I promise you will be blown away by his choice of fresh, seasonal ingredients that pull together to create savory, unforgettable dishes sure to knock the socks off any wedding menu. Our guests would not stop raving about the food - from the minute we walked out to our cocktail hour to the last bite of steak and halibut, everyone at our wedding couldn't believe they were eating wedding food.

    Even more amazing was Don's professionalism and flexibility. As the bride, I was hidden from bits of chaos throughout the evening but Don and his team handled everything with such grace and precision. None of our guests, nor I, would have had any clue. Thank you, Don, for being so flexible with our unique venue and accommodating some of our picky eaters.

    I would recommend Don with 10+ starts to any one of our foodie friends and I hope to get to work with him again.

    Don & Stacy,
    exceeded our expectations in every aspect of our wedding. We received numerous compliments on our platted dinner for 170 people. Their staff was professional and attentive, in every way. I was pleasantly surprised how fast dinner was served. The New York Strip was delicious and everything looked amazing. I would most definitely, recommend Wine Country Artisans Catering.

    Chef Don Garrett and his crew catered four meals (two dinners and two brunches) for ~50 people over the course of our June 2015 weekend wedding and we could not have been happier with them. Across the board they were professional, attentive, and fastidious. Chef Garrett is a creative and highly-skilled chef, and every meal was outstanding - The all vegetarian menu he prepared wowed even the biggest carnivores in our group. Moreover, he made sure we were completely taken care of - for instance, after our ravenous group ate more than our share of Saturday brunch he drove several hours late that night (we were in a remote location) to make sure there was enough for Sunday brunch. If you are looking for someone to cater your wedding, look no further than Wine Country Artisans Catering.

    Don is one of most gifted and well rounded chefs I've ever encountered. He is creative, enthusiastic, honest, and remarkably adept at solving problems.
    Every person that came to our wedding said it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding. His flavors are bold yet perfectly balanced, his dishes are soulful, satisfying and memorable, his ingredients and sourcing are the finest available, and his presentation is impeccable.

    I worked as a sous chef for a number of fine restaurants and I pride myself in being able to differentiate between food that is "good" and food that is truly "great".
    Don and his catering company do all of the little things that make food truly delicious, nourishing, and undeniably "great".

    The staff working were very knowledgeable about the dishes served and the flavors contained in each were breathtaking. I look forward to being served by them again.
