Private Chefs
Hiring a private chef to cook for you can be a relaxing alternative to hosting a large dinner party at an upscale restaurant. Private Chefs can plan a meal with you, shop for the best ingredients, prepare, serve and clean up, right in our own kitchen.
Following are some local chefs who are familiar with our kitchen and can be available to prepare meals for guests at Suisun Valley Inn, using our kitchen. If you are interested in having a meal prepared for your group, please contact one of these chefs to discuss arrangements. Chefs are independent contractors and all arrangements should be made directly with the chef themselves.

Chef Nate Maeda
I became a chef because I love to bring people together with good food, great stories, and lasting memories. Some of the best memories of my life have been spent around dining room tables with friends, family, and even an occasional stranger, sharing food made with love by a family member or another chef.
My career began in Downtown San Diego at Searsucker restaurant. After cooking in San Diego for 3 years I decided to move out to the Napa Valley in search of a challenge and more knowledge. Throughout my travels I have had the amazing opportunity to work at Morimoto Napa, Bottega, Saison, and Roka Akor SF and others. I learned a great deal about refinement from these establishments but I still felt the desire to bring people a more personal and intimate experience.

Chef Georgia Javaras brings 30 years of experience in the food industry to the table. Creating fresh farm-to-table dishes is where she shines!
My passion is centered in taking traditional dishes and elevating flavors to bring new life to the table. An essential component to every dish I serve is sourcing ingredients from local farms in Solano County. As an owner of a small local farm, I find using fresh local ingredients is the most important aspect of creating nutrient rich and vibrant dishes to bring you a true farm-to-table experience.
In 2022 I was fortunate to get the opportunity to study under Chef Alessandra Spisni of Bologna Italy, mastering dishes of the northern regions of Italy. While in Italy I was provided the opportunity to create dishes alongside of some of their brilliant gastronomists learning the technique of Sfolia.
I pour a whole lot of love into everything I make and I would love to share my experience and creativity with you and your guests.
