Meet the Founders of Laces and Limos!

Hi — I’m Chel. That’s my partner, Dieter and me in the photo. We’re adventurers at heart who believe life is meant to be savored — with great food, beautiful wines and memories that linger long after the day ends.

Dieter is our culinary wizard and European-trained pastry chef. You’ll find him in the kitchen dreaming up the next menu inspired by travel, seasons and whatever flavor caught his attention last.

As for me? I’m on the road hosting tours, chasing the light and sharing it all along the way. (Yes — it’s really me on Instagram. Come say hi at @lacesandlimos.)

It’s wild to think that not so long ago, we were Napa tourists ourselves. Fast-forward nearly a decade and here we are — locals, founders and deeply immersed in a journey that started with a simple idea and turned into something far more meaningful.

What hasn’t changed is why we do this. We believe the best experiences are personal. Unrushed. A little unexpected. And never something you’d stumble upon on your own. That’s why every day we create is thoughtfully curated around connection — to place, to people, and to the moment you’re in.

So if you’re ready to explore Napa a little differently…
take the backroads, linger longer, and experience something truly special —We’re ready when you are. Let's go!

And just like that… we’re back.

Back from a soul-stirring adventure that took us far beyond Napa — winding roads, late nights, new flavors and yes, camel rides through the Moroccan desert.

Stepping away is how we come back better. Inspired. Recharged. Full of ideas.

Travel has always shaped how we see the world and how we create experiences — the quiet backroads, the hidden moments, the magic you don’t find by following the crowd. It’s a belief we hold deeply, not just for us as founders, but for you too.

We’re grateful you’re here — and we can’t wait to show you what’s next.
