Tim Wood

Local Host Chef

• Carmel Valley Ranch
• Carmel Valley, California

Tim began his career in New York's Catskill Mountains where he learned the rhythm of the seasons and their relation to food from small-production family farms in the Hudson Valley. He later worked in renowned Manhattan restaurants, including the legendary Rainbow Room before joining Cal Stamenov at Bernardus Lodge. At Carmel Valley Ranch, Tim shapes menus with fresh foods created by purveyors he considers part of the family. Many of the fruits and vegetables featured in Tim's dishes are grown at the Ranch's on-site organic garden.
