Picture this: a sunlit afternoon spent lounging in the lush gardens of Rancho Los Cerritos, jazz melodies floating through the air, a glass of natural wine in hand, and Provençal flavors dancing across your palate. Sounds dreamy? That’s exactly what’s on the menu at The Rancho!
A Chef’s Culinary Cameo
Foodies, brace yourselves. Chef Hugo Giudicelli, the mastermind behind the beloved Parisian eatery L’Orillon, is bringing his talent stateside for one day only! Expect his signature bouillabaisse (yes, it’s as incredible as it sounds) and a vibrant spread of seasonal Provençal dishes made with California’s finest summer produce.
Here’s a little teaser of what Chef Giudicelli has in store:
Bouillabaisse with rouille and toasted bread
Summer ratatouille with herbes de Provence
Zucchini blossom beignets stuffed with local goat cheese
Peach & almond tarte topped with lavender cream
Got your appetite going yet? Thought so.
Wine, But Make It Natural
If you think the food sounds good, wait until you hear about the wines. The team has partnered with Sala Wine Bar to curate a selection of natural wines that will blow your mind.

Camins 2 Dream (Santa Rita Hills)
