POV: you’re a chef and you like your steaks a little ridiculous. 🥩🔪 Shout out to @beverlycreekfarms for the beautiful ribeye.

Breaking down a whole ribeye into thick-cut côte de boeuf. A little trimming, a few button bones to pick out, and a lot of “yeah, that’s a good-looking steak.” @ravinevineyard by @chefjohnvetere

It’s been a busy week at the winery! The start of harvest, tank samples, private parties, wine-club events and lots of oyster shucking (and some eating). Here a little Chef POV of the weekend. @ravinevineyard @ted_stones @nataliacacioli by @chefjohnvetere

A look behind the scenes at our first production run of Lowrey Bros Hot Sauce @ravinevineyard . Built from real ingredients, cooked in small batches, bottled local.

This hot sauce has some serious flavour and enough heat to keep things interesting.

Lowrey Bros. Hot Sauce. Coming soon.

POV: breaking down a whole lingcod.

Clean cuts, and respecting the fish from start to finish. There’s something incredibly satisfying about turning a whole fish into beautiful, usable cuts with as little waste as possible. @ravinevineyard

Shout out to @organicoceanseafood for the beautiful fish!

A beautiful morning with @ted_stones and @ravinevineyard catering offsite in Niagara on the Lake. Great food, an incredible waterfront setting, and a pretty solid way to start the weekend. taken in Niagara-On-The-Lake, Ontario by @chefjohnvetere

There’s something pretty special about seeing Niagara from this perspective.

Taking off beside Niagara Falls, flying over wine country and landing among the vines at @ravinevineyard .

An unforgettable experience and maybe the best entrance I’ve made to work yet.

Ravine to new heights. Thanks @niagaraheli for the amazing experience. by @chefjohnvetere

Meet John Vetere, the Host of our 10th Annual Breakfast Gala!🤝🫶👩‍🍳

John Vetere is the Executive Chef and Director of Estate Winery at Ravine Vineyard Estate Winery in Niagara-on-the-Lake.
