Craig Boyd
Winemaker
I have been growing grapes and making wine commercially for over three decades. With a Master’s Degree in Enology and Viticulture from the University of California, Davis, I have spent most of my career working at wineries in both Northern and Southern California, but have also worked at wineries in New York, South Dakota, Arizona and, now, Georgia. If you can name a variety of grape or fruit, I have probably made wine from it.
Christopher Matson
Executive Chef
Chris is the Executive Chef at Montaluce. He and his team are excited to be able to cook for you, and offer a menu made with classic techniques and fresh, locally sourced ingredients.
According to Chef Chris, his grandmother made him fall in love with food when he was only fourteen, and he hasn't stopped cooking since then. His passion for food has taken him all around the world, pushed him to earn two degrees, (pastry and culinary), at NYC’s International Culinary Center, and helped him make a life for himself as a first-generation American.
He hopes that his years of experience and passion for food come together at Montaluce in the form of an incredible meal you get to share with people you love.
