Hi, my name is Meredith Bearov. I have over two decades in high-end culinary and hospitality services.
My career in hospitality includes pivotal stints at The Inn at Little Washington and Michel Richard Citronnelle; James Beard award-winning, Michelin Stars, Relais & Châteaux, and Relais & Gourmand properties. I have worked in all aspects of the industry, including fine dining, event planning, management, culinary retail, and sales.
These experiences have equipped me with a unique perspective and an understanding of what it takes to plan and execute exceptional experiences.
Let things taste of what they are.

PRIVATE CHEF - I discovered my love of gardening and food at an early age, thanks to my grandmother. She worked as a Virginia home extension agent in the 1930s and ’40s, teaching families how to can, cook, and grow their own food. She was a serious gardener, and some of my earliest memories are of being out in the garden with her.
She taught me that the best meals start with good, seasonal ingredients. Whether I’m at a local farmers market or in my own garden, I’m always looking for the freshest ingredients to build a meal around.
I specialize in creating personalized experiences for my clients. Whether it’s an intimate dinner or a special gathering, I work closely with you to design menus that reflect your tastes and preferences. From the initial consultation to shopping for ingredients, selecting wines, and coordinating the event, I curate every detail. We’ll discuss your goals and vision, and I’ll make sure the final experience is exactly what you want.
WINE - I’ve had the opportunity to work with some spectacular wine collections. As Wine Director and Cellar Master at The Inn at Little Washington, I was responsible for managing a 92-page wine list and overseeing a cellar with more than 29,000 bottles and 2,400 labels. At Citronnelle, I was blessed to work for Michel Richard and Kathryn Morgan M.S., and to eventually assume the role of Wine Director; Citronnelle will forever be a magical place.
Over the years I’ve been fortunate enough to earn a Grand Spectator Award, and to be recruited by, and work alongside, three different Master Sommeliers. Their mentorship, and friendship, helped shape my approach to wine. Whether it’s selecting the perfect pairing for an intimate dinner or curating a list for a large event, I’ve always focused on making wine approachable, exciting, and, above all, fun.
My goal is to give you a personal chef experience, crafting meals tailored to your unique needs, whether it’s something casual or a more formal event. It’s all about creating something meaningful and memorable, where every dish was made just for you.
