San Juan Bautista Private Chef
Michelle Masinloc
“San Juan Bautista - rich in land and history. The mission bells still mark time and the farms stretch out like they have for generations. It’s where I say ‘Thank You’ to the land and try to give back by respecting its gifts of nourishment and nurturing people with it. It’s where I’m committed to providing the highest standard of what luxury dining at home should be, while respecting and embracing Mother Nature and her bounty. I’m genuinely considering living here.”
I love the beauty and peace of San Juan Bautista. I visit often for family dinners and each time feels like a mini getaway. My favorite is that its tucked away on it’s own, away from the hustle and bustle of the Silicon Valley. The Farmer’s Market is beautiful, and I never hesitate to get some coffee at Vertigo. My clients range from Rancho Larios to the Canyon Road Corridor and Mission Vineyard. Each and all so majestic. I love to help residents enjoy the most of their wondrous homes.
