    MAGNUS YOUNG TAKES THE HELM AS EXECUTIVE CHEF AT CLIF FAMILY WINERY & FARM

    31 January 2024

    St. Helena, CA — February 1st, 2024   Clif Family Winery and Farm is pleased to announce the promotion of Magnus Young to the position of Executive Chef. Magnus has been an integral part of our culinary team since 2017, contributing his creative approach to cooking and a passion for bringing the produce we grow at the Clif Family Farm into our culinary program. 
    Magnus's culinary journey began in his hometown of Calgary, AB, Canada, where he developed a love for cooking under the guidance of his father. From an early age, food has been central to Magnus's family, and his passion for the culinary arts has only grown stronger over the years. His diverse culinary experiences include working at renowned establishments such as Earls Restaurants, Cibo, The Glass Onion, Sean Brock’s McCrady’s, and Napa Valley’s former Terra Restaurant under the direction of celebrated chef Hiro Sone.
     After completing his culinary education at the Culinary Institute of America, Magnus joined Clif Family Winery and Farm, drawn by the unique opportunity to work with our Bruschetteria Food Truck and the abundance of organic produce sourced directly from the Clif Family Farm. His commitment to cooking seasonally and utilizing high-quality ingredients aligned perfectly with Clif Family's culinary philosophy.

    I am thrilled to take on the role of Executive Chef at Clif Family Winery and Farm. The farm-to-table approach and the collaborative environment have always inspired me. I look forward to continuing to create memorable culinary experiences for our guests, highlighting the incredible flavors of the season through unique and exciting dishes and wine pairings.
