Company DescriptionLove food? Love people? Love a little bit of "organized chaos"? Welcome home.
Located in the heart of Paso Robles wine country, Trumpet Vine Catering isn't your typical "Menu A or B" catering company. Since 2000, we've been the Central Coast's go to for custom, high end culinary experiences that are as visually stunning as they are delicious. From sun-kissed vineyard weddings to exclusive winery soirées and "Late Night Taco" street stations, we turn big moments into unforgettable memories.
Why Work With Us?
At Trumpet Vine, we believe in the philosophy of "Do it because you love it." We've evolved from a scrappy startup into an award winning, full-service team, but we've never lost our "sweet but spicy" personality. We don't just deliver food, we deliver an experience.

Dream Locations: Your "office" for the day might be a stunning hilltop vineyard, a rustic barn, or a coastal estate on the Central Coast.
What We're Looking For
We want team members who are professional but not pretentious. If you are detail-oriented, have a "can-do" spirit, and think that edible flowers are a vibe (we do!), you'll fit right in.
