Sarah Scott has been named as executive chef of the Opus One Winery in the Napa Valley.

The Oakville-based winery stated Scott led the opening of the Robert Mondavi Wine and Food Center in Costa Mesa and later moved back up to Napa Valley to take on the role of senior executive chef at Robert Mondavi Winery. Most recently, she operated her own catering business and started Comfort Food To-Go during the pandemic, preparing meals weekly for over 400 customers.

“I have had the pleasure of enjoying the absolutely stellar quality of her cuisine over the years and I respect her profound sensitivity to crafting the perfect pairing to compliment, and most importantly showcase, the wines on the table,” stated Christopher Barefoot, Opus One vice president of communications and guest relations.

Opus One was created in 1978 by Baron Philippe de Rothschild and Robert Mondavi and is now a joint venture between Baron Philippe de Rothschild S.A. and Constellation Brands.
