Hosting a dinner party in La Jolla Village, a milestone dinner overlooking the cove, or an evening at your home in Bird Rock or La Jolla Shores? Chef Sami Marquez brings a private chef experience to your table — designed around your occasion, sourced from the market, and served with full tableside service.
La Jolla hosts some of San Diego's most memorable tables — and the best part of an in-home dinner is that the view stays yours. Vino Trece cooks in homes across La Jolla Village, La Jolla Shores, Bird Rock, Windansea and La Jolla Farms: anniversary dinners, birthday milestones, pre-gala gatherings, or a quiet date night that feels like a reservation at the best table in town — without leaving home.

Weekends and holidays book out 2–4 weeks ahead. For weekday dinners, 1–2 weeks is usually plenty — and the quote engine works anytime for planning.
Chef Sami brings ingredients, equipment and service staff as needed. Your kitchen just needs to be accessible — she handles the rest, including clean-up.
Yes. Intimate dinners start at a 4-guest minimum, and 4–8 guests is the sweet spot for a tableside tasting with wine pairing.
