My husband and I were getting ready to celebrate our joint 41st birthday since we had to defer our…read more40th due to Covid. We wanted to do something big and as we were looking at options, Menegnon Catering was referred to us by a neighbor who had attended a party they catered. We live in the East Bay and for a nominal travel fee, they came to us. They took care of everything from laying out the butcher paper on the tables, handing out bibs (which were a big hit!) to cooking and serving to clean-up and even brought It's-It ice cream sandwiches for dessert. The boil itself consisted of lobsters, shrimps, artichokes, corn, sausage and potatoes and they also provide warm baguettes, drawn butter, mayo and other condiments like hot sauce and the all the tools including claw crackers. The whole thing was AMAZING! Our guests couldn't get over how incredible it was and of the course the food was so fresh and delicious. As someone who is usually stuck with alllll the set-up and clean-up, the fact that they handled it all was the extra cherry on top a perfect meal! We made so many memories that night (as you can tell from the photos!) I would absolutely use them again for a professional work event to another party hosted at our home.

Courtney is also a staple in Napa Valley, born and bred in St. Helena, her family owns Steves Hardware & Housewares in St. Helena, along with Menegon's Ace Hardware in South Lake Tahoe. Each lobster feed includes the star, a whole 1.25 pound Maine lobster, (or 'lobsta, as the Mainers say) shrimp, artichokes, sausage, French bread, drawn butter and special spices all boiled together to make a truly magnificent meal. I shared such a feast last weekend at Merryvale Vieyards by Menegon Caterering, with friends. It was amazing! And, a ton of food!

First and foremost, I have not worked directly with the Peloton crew, this review really focuses on…read morecustomer interaction and sampling of their food. With that said, for the last few years my work has used Peloton for catering events which I have had the pleasure to work and tasted the tasty dishes Peloton has served for guests and employees (Afterwards). The Peloton crew is very professional, shows up on time, very polite, and always makes sure everyone is fed and most importantly happy. Over the past few years, I have done my fair share of tasting their farm to table type meals and I'd say that most are pretty darn tasty. I have had a few dishes that were subpar, but most of what they server is fantastic and honestly I would consider hiring them for catering purposes. Yes, short review, but it is a caterer after all, but if you are on the edge about hiring Peloton, I would suggest calling them to see what they offer in terms of a sample tasting. Better yet, gather some more info in general that may help you seal the deal or move on to one of the many other caterers in the area.

We were served a tasting of five wines, two whites and three reds. The server, Riley was friendly and hospitable. My favorites were their 2023 Pinot Noir that was smooth, and surprisingly their Malbec was a hit; I usually don't like Malbecs but this was smooth and spicy. These two wines stood out due to that flavor profile, spiciness, and the lack of tannins on my palette. It was a cozy vibe tasting in the cave, they also had cards games for us to enjoy.

But they have plenty of cute insta spots. The wines were good too - I enjoyed the Viognier best!

I was immediately drawn to their adorable vintage shasta trailer that had been converted into a mobile bar. The ladies were friendly, efficient and the ambiance the trailer provided was amazing! It's quite obvious these ladies have an eye for detail, and that really shows in the way they decorated their mobile bar, along with the seating area they provide for your guests to enjoy during cocktail hour. I knew right then and there I wanted to book their services for my wedding. Fast forward to August 2018. Lila and her staff were easy to get ahold of and communicate with through the entire wedding planning process. We were getting married in September, and they had made sure to set up a site visit, broke down how much alcohol we needed total and per person, and even designed some signature cocktails for us that were SO DELICIOUS! You will not be disappointed with their services if you book with vino a go go. Every one of my guests that came up to me during the wedding commented on how much the enjoyed the mobile bar. These ladies are professional, friendly, and their mobile bar will make your event that much more special! -Aly

We have had amazing beschamel crème lasagna, chicken Kiev cooked perfectly, amazing salads, tonight was duck confit cassoulet, and the list goes on!

He'll make anything you want, he'll go out of his comfort zone for a customer, and everything so far has been a knock out. If I could give more than 5 stars, he'd have them. Thank you!
