The Castle has its own world-class, in-house catering team that will work with you and your guests to accommodate any dietary restrictions and preferences. We have partnered with two of the region’s most acclaimed chefs to ensure the very best for you and your guests. Chef Santiago Guzzetti is a well-traveled chef who trained at some of New York’s most famous restaurants, including the five-star Baccarat Hotel and Restaurant Jean-George. Today, he co-owns award-wining Italian restaurant Ilda in Sylva as well as Meatballs Pizzeria and Sante: The Wine Bar with his wife, Crystal. Chef Johannes Klapdohr also brings an impressive resume to the table as the youngest ever finalist in his native Germany’s esteemed “Rudolf Achenbach Preis” in 1982. He went on to work at some of the most iconic establishments in the world before co-founding Old Edwards Inn in 2009, which soon became a Relais & Chateau property. Today, he co-owns the Library Kitchen & Bar in Sapphire Valley: a local favorite. Their styles and menu offerings may vary, but their commitment to satisfying you and your guests is unwavering. 

We have you covered at the bar as well with a knowledgeable sommelier and a talented mixologist on our side. Our wine lists have been carefully curated by Level 2 Sommelier Crystal Pace and vary depending on which bar package you select. The silver package features a selection of international wines, the gold package features California-grown wines from Murphy-Goode and Ava Grace, and the platinum package showcases a boutique assortment of exceptional wines sourced from sustainable, family-run vineyards. The gold and platinum packages also feature a full selection of spirits as well as the ability to create a unique cocktail menu for your big day. Award-winning Mixologist Antoine Hodge is one of the best in the business; his cocktail and mocktail creations are sure to have your tastebuds dancing!
