Chef Andrew Chambers
Chef Chambers began working at an early age in his family’s vineyard in Penn Yan, where they grew table fruit grapes like Concord Niagara and other native varieties. When he was in his early teens, his parents purchased a diner, and throughout high school, Chambers worked his way up: first washing dishes, then making food.
He attended the College of Culinary Arts — a nationally ranked culinary school — at Johnson and Wales University in Charlotte, North Carolina, worked at the Esperanza Mansion in Penn Yan during the summers, and finished both his culinary arts and baking degrees in two years. The New York Wine and Culinary Center recruited him in 2008 to be the in-house pastry chef, and just like he did at the family diner, Chambers began to work his way up the ranks. After spending four years as sous chef, he was promoted to executive chef in 2014, at age 26.
Continuing to work within the beautiful Finger Lakes region, Chef Chambers became Executive Chef at Del Lago Resort and Casino in 2016.
In the spring of 2019 Chef Chambers joined Ravines Wine Cellars as executive chef and is continuing to promote and develop the Finger Lakes bounties of amazing food and wine.
