We are pleased to announce that Chef David Fairweather has joined our team at Sonoran Estate Winery. David comes with plenty of experience as a Sous Chef, Chef and Executive Chef!
Below is a summary of David and his culinary experiences.
I started my life in the culinary field in the early 1980s. The High school that I attended had a program with its own restaurant on campus. We learned the basics of day to day operations and we were open for lunch.
What followed was a brief stint in university, a year in Hawaii as a commercial fisherman and various short order cooking jobs.
From 1986-1989 I did my apprenticeship at Campus Catering on the U.C Davis campus, in Davis, California. My Chef was a former member of team U.S.A. at the culinary olympics. Some of the more notable people that we cooked for were former Presidents Ford and Carter and Julia Child.
In 1992 I moved back to Canada, I had left in 1979 from Vancouver. Since I moved back I have lived in Victoria and most recently Yellowknife N.T., where I met my wife. I have held the title of Sous Chef, Chef and Executive Chef over the years.
I am excited to be the Chef at Sonoran Estate Winery and I look forward to a new chapter in my life.
See you soon!! David Fairweather.
