Meet Mercedes
After relocating from San Diego to Napa Valley, Mercedes Stahlberger founded Lady and the Vine to serve the wineries around her.
Her experience in catering, restaurants, and private-chef work informs a practical approach to culinary consulting. She considers how a dish pairs with the wine, how ingredients are sourced, and how a team will execute the menu.
Today, she helps wineries in Napa and Sonoma develop their food programs, alongside cheese and charcuterie, grazing tables, and corporate catering.
Seasonal ingredients, sustainable sourcing, and the relationship between food and wine remain at the heart of her work.
