Culinary Adventures

Jim Gunther, Chef/Co-Owner/ProprietorJim Gunther, a 1994-graduate of the California Culinary Academy (Le Cordon Bleu), loves to prepare high quality food with a professional presentation, and provide new gastronomic adventures for his guests; always willing, of course, to scramble an egg or two for the less adventurous. Jamie's gracious style of service and attention to detail provides the perfect delivery of the breakfast meal. Jim and Jamie together will continue the tradition of sharing fine food with their guests, as they have with friends and family at their home in San Francisco since 1994. They look forward to sharing some San Francisco Bay Area hospitality in their new home and inn in Napa for years to come.

Organic Produce +
       Sustainably-Grown Local Dairy Products =
            Inventive Cuisine to Die For!

Jim works tirelessly to procure the freshest organilcally-grown produce and dairy from local farms and growers whenever possible. The freshest eggs from Brown's Farm in Pt. Reyes (on the Sonoma coast), and exceptional dairy from Strauss Family Creamery, as well as Bruce Aidell's sausage, give Jim the base to make every breakfast at The Inn On First a gastronomic adventure.
