Sonoma Catering with Local Ingredients for Events, Retreats & Gatherings

Seasonal, locally sourced, and thoughtfully executed.

The Epicurean Connection offers select catering for private events, corporate gatherings, and retreats across Sonoma and Napa Valley. This is a smaller part of what we do, which means each event gets real attention, not a templated menu.

We partner with local farms, including Umbell Farms, Little Paradise Farm, Glentucky Farm, The Patch, Seven Moons Farm, and more.

Local, Seasonal & Low-Waste

This is where our approach shines through.

  • Ingredients sourced from Sonoma and Napa Valley producers
  • Seasonal menus that reflect what’s actually fresh
  • Support sustainable and regenerative farming
  • Zero-waste mindset whenever possible
  • A focus on quality, balance, and thoughtful portions
  • We share our compost with local sheep.

Food should feel connected to where you are. That’s always our goal.

Pair Catering with a Sonoma Food Experience

Many groups combine catering with a class or tasting.

If you’re planning a cheesemaking class or private event, we can build a catering menu that fits naturally into the experience.
