Exciting Updates from Haven Fall 2026
We’re thrilled to introduce our new chef, Daisy Keene.
Daisy comes to us most recently from Camper in Menlo Park, where she served as Chef de Cuisine. Her resume reads like a love letter to hospitality: formal French training, deep farm-to-table roots, and stints cooking for private families, and Michelin-starred kitchens. Her decision to move to Haven was partly based on loving the women-driven environment.
She brings a rare combination of technical precision and genuine warmth to everything she makes, and we can’t wait for you to taste what she’s cooking up for Haven.
She’s already added some beautiful new dishes to the menu, starting with the Late Summer Bruschetta, piled with burrata, brûléed figs, pistachios, and balsamic glaze. For mains, there’s the 38N Duck Breast with pearl onions, pole beans, mustard greens, and plum jus; Lea’s Garden Pasta, with casarecce tossed in a kale-basil pistou, market vegetables, and Parmesan; and Pan-Seared Chicken with roasted broccolini, pepper agrodolce, and bagna càuda.
Come hungry and come often, she is just getting started.
Haven Latino Heritage Experiences
Latino Heritage Month is September 15th - October 15th and it is a chance to honor the strong men and women whose hard work and heart helped to build the foundation we stand on today. Haven will be celebrating all month long with the flavors, producers, and stories that make wine and food so meaningful to us.
October 1: Meet the Winemaker with Sotelo Wines and Gustavo Sotelo
Gustavo Sotelo makes wine under the Orixe Sotelo label in Sonoma with his wife Jackie, built around Spanish grape varieties grown in California. He traced his family’s roots back to Galicia, Spain, and that discovery became the inspiration for the whole project. By day he’s also the Director of Winemaking at Scribe, so he brings serious technical chops along with a personal story that fits perfectly with what we’re celebrating this month.
October 8: A Unique Tasting of Wines from Mexico with Alluvial Wines
Chef Daisy will pair a curated selection of Mexican wines from Alluvial Wines with original Haven dishes.
October 15: Meet the Winemaker with Story of Soil and Jessica
We carry Story of Soil’s Syrah and Skin Contact Sauvignon Blanc Wine (Orange) on our by the glass list, so if you love their wines as much as we do, come meet Jessica in person. Jessica Gasca got her start bartending at a French restaurant in New York before coming home to California and working her way up through internships and apprenticeships at Santa Barbara wineries. She built Story of Soil around a simple philosophy: farm the best sites with care, focus on single vineyards and single varietals, and keep every lot small. Her Mexican heritage shows up in her work too. One of her wines, a Pinot Noir called Gracias a Ti Por Tus Manos, donates all of its proceeds to support farmworker health initiatives on the Central Coast. Come taste, ask questions, and get to know the woman behind the bottle.
