Steve Stawinski

Executive Chef Steve Stawinski brings to Wilson Creek 20 years of experience in the hospitality industry.

He has shared his passion and vigor in the kitchen at such establishments as Porter’s Prime Steakhouse, Misty’s and the Smokehouse at Ponte Winery as well as being Chef de Cuisine for the Hilton Hotel Corporation.

A native of New Jersey where large family gatherings became the culinary inspiration for Steve, he brings a fresh and innovative style to the kitchen. Steve was voted one of Inland Empire’s Best Chef’s in 2009 by Inland Empire Magazine and is respected for his commitment and success in creating seasonal dishes utilizing sustainable produce and seafood.

Steve resides in Murrieta California with his wife and children enjoying the simple things in life such as fishing and growing his own vegetable and herbs. We are excited to have Steve join the Wilson Creek family.
