Chef Eric Moulton

Born in San Francisco and raised in Kenwood, Chef Eric’s culinary journey is deeply rooted in the rich tapestry of Sonoma County’s food culture. His passion for cooking was ignited during his teenage years, influenced greatly by his aunt in San Francisco, whose culinary prowess left a lasting impression.

After graduating from high school, Eric embarked on a transformative journey through Australia and Central America, where he gained invaluable experience through various odd jobs, including his first forays into kitchen work. This wanderlust would later shape his culinary perspective, infusing his cooking with diverse influences from Spain, Italy, and Central America.

Eric’s formal culinary education began at Le Cordon Bleu in San Francisco, where he honed his skills in classic French techniques. His professional career took off in the vibrant San Francisco restaurant scene, with notable stints at The Boxing Room (Absinthe Group) and the renowned Farallon.

Eric’s culinary philosophy is deeply rooted in the belief that great ingredients should be allowed to shine without unnecessary complication. His love for open fire cooking and his commitment to sourcing the finest local products are testaments to his connection with Sonoma County’s bountiful offerings.

Vacation in Beautiful Sonoma County, California

SONOMA WINE COUNTRY – LOVELY AND DIVERSE…

Unspoiled pastoral countryside, dinner beside the California coast, and award-winning Sonoma Valley and Napa Valley wines – all in one county!

Sonoma County is the quintessential wine country — sophistication and class without the attitude and crowds. Here, rolling hills and peaceful country roads weave through family-owned vineyards as well as nationally known wineries. At 1,604 square miles, Sonoma County is much larger than neighboring Napa and offers more diverse activities to enjoy. Relaxed and personal, Sonoma lies closer to the sea and farther from the traffic.

The first home of wine production in Northern California, Sonoma County is also still the nation’s largest producer of quality wine. Distinct wine valleys dot the countryside — Russian River Valley, Alexander Valley, Dry Creek Valley, and the Valley of the Moon — each offering its own flavors and varietals, including many of the world’s best-known labels and appellations.

Most of Sonoma County’s 400+wineries are open to the public for tours and complimentary tastings.

Just an hour north of San Francisco, Sonoma Wine Country is an elegant, but unpretentious, vacation destination. The county’s unspoiled natural beauty — vineyards, towering old-growth redwoods, the Russian River, and the rugged California coastline — are just the beginning. A haven for artists, craftspeople, and chefs, Sonoma County offers so much more than exceptional wine. During your Sonoma Wine Country vacation, visit enjoy shopping in local art galleries, shops, and boutiques, pamper yourself with a massage or spa treatment, and experience some of the best dining in the country.
