Catering to your aircraft in Napa.
At KAPC the ramp is quiet until a wine weekend fills it. Whatever lands, we pack the food for that cabin and hand it over at the aircraft, day or night.
We know the galley, the diet card and the 5 a.m. re-plate — because we lived them. So we built the caterer we always wished we could call.
Fourteen years on VIP and head-of-state cabins. Can plate for twelve in a G650 galley and still land it hot.
The one who reads every diet card twice. If it says no cross-contact, it means no cross-contact.
Answers at 5 a.m. when the leg moved overnight. Same-day swaps are her love language.
Napa sits in California's wine country, and the private jet menu for Napa County Airport follows the valley. Our inflight menu leans on local specialities: Dungeness crab in season, Point Reyes-style blue cheese, heirloom tomatoes, olive oil and walnuts from the valley floor. Private jet food here is mostly cold and composed: private jet platters of cheese, cured meats and fruit that hold in a drawer, gourmet inflight meals with the sauce packed apart, and private jet snacks such as almonds, dried figs and good chocolate. A tasting-weekend charter tends to want something that pairs with wine, so we keep dishes light and plate-ready.
For California flights out of Napa, the private jet menu starts with the produce. Local specialities travel well: ripe pears, stone fruit in summer, grilled vegetables, a roast chicken that reheats in the galley oven. The inflight menu is built so the crew re-plates rather than cooks, with private jet platters arriving chilled and gourmet inflight meals labelled by seat. Private jet food for a harvest-week passenger often includes a cheese board and a dessert; private jet snacks fill the gaps on a short leg. The California table here is generous but organised, and every local speciality is packed for a small galley.

Napa County Airport sits on the flat valley floor at 35 feet, and its busiest weeks follow the grape harvest. Private jet catering here leans on what the valley grows, packed for the galley of whatever light or midsize jet is parked on the ramp. Whether you call it inflight catering, in-flight catering or aviation catering, the brief at APC is the same: food that survives a short California hop and a tight cabin. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering orders arrive from owner-operators and charter crews alike, while diplomatic flight catering is rare but handled with the same discretion, and cabin crew meals are ordered on request.
Corporate jet catering for Napa County Airport tends to be built around a lunch or a tasting weekend. Business jet catering, VIP flight catering and charter flight catering are all ordered the same way; luxury inflight catering adds a private jet chef who writes a bespoke menu around the valley's produce.
At Napa County Airport, VIP aviation catering for officials is discreet and planned. Government flight catering, head of state flight catering and state visit aircraft catering share one rule: the menu is agreed with protocol, not the kitchen, and the handover is quiet.
Wine Country kitchens run heavy on dairy, nuts and shellfish, so at Napa County Airport the dietary work is about where those hide. Kosher, halal, vegan and gluten free meals are cooked and packed separately, special meals travel sealed with the seat number on the lid, and allergen free and kids meals are boxed apart from the main trays so nothing is opened by mistake.
A sheet per guest. Separate boards, separate boxes.
Sealed, certificate in the same box.
Their own menu, nothing to cut at altitude.
Vegan, low-carb, light — composed, never compromised.
Cockpit meals for the Napa County Airport turnaround are packed in crew meal boxes, marked CREW. Crew meals, flight crew meals and pilot meals are on request and invoiced; crew catering for a long day includes different meals for pilots when needed.
FBO catering at Napa County Airport is a handover at the aircraft. Catering delivery to the FBO is arranged with your handling agent, and ground handling catering follows the airside access they give. The general aviation terminal is small, so handling agent catering is simple: one door, one name on the order.
Most aircraft at Napa County Airport are light and midsize jets with small cabin doors, so galley catering is carried up by hand rather than by high loader. For anything larger, we plan airside catering delivery with your handling agent and the ramp team, and aircraft provisioning follows the galley layout you give us, never a standard tray count.
Mention it when you orderCertified, inspected, with cold-chain records filed against your trip.
Whichever terminal you park at, handover is at the aircraft, on your slot.
Allergen sheet per guest, halal and kosher on request, sealed and labelled.
Itemised and trip-report ready, sent after the leg.
Napa County Airport is a general aviation field in California's wine country, used by private owners, charter operators and corporate flight departments visiting the valley.
Napa County Airport is a business aviation hub in miniature: general aviation, FBO services and ground handling services are concentrated in a small footprint. Airport catering, inflight catering, in-flight catering, aviation catering, business aviation catering, executive jet catering, diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals all pass through one handover.
Domestic flights into Napa need no customs for food. International arrivals clear at the port of entry first, where fruit, meat and dairy are declared; we provision fresh at KAPC afterwards.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Small packing details became important at Napa County Airport: our 5 passengers wanted chicken skewers with a couscous salad, and we had limited fridge space. Our handling contact received the order details from The Galley Girls, including how the side dishes had been grouped. The packing arrangement stood out more than any sales pitch about crew meals. We could account for the fruit plates before passing the boxes to the cabin team, without a lengthy unpacking exercise.”
“Timing and organisation mattered at KAPC, where our order of prawn salad and small fruit plates for 3 people involved a late menu amendment. I would discuss FBO catering with them again, especially when final order confirmation needs careful coordination. The sandwiches came from The Galley Girls in divided catering boxes, with a packing list that matched the contents. Separating the breakfast portions from the first service items helped us avoid opening boxes we did not yet need.”
“For 2 passengers departing from APC, the agreed menu was roasted vegetable bowls with separate dressings; our main consideration was a late menu amendment. I appreciated the emphasis on final order confirmation throughout the airport catering arrangements. Our request to The Galley Girls focused on the desserts, with enough detail to distinguish passenger portions from additional provisions. The quantities of fruit plates matched our service plan, leaving us comfortable with the order before the final briefing.”
Cost depends on ingredients and complexity: California produce in peak season is cheap and good, shellfish and wagyu are not. For a night or early slot at Napa County Airport we quote after you choose, and orders are invoiced like any other catering order.
Napa's ramp is small, so lead time depends on a quick word with the handling agent about access. We then cook to your slot and hand over at the aircraft. Last-minute orders are handled; the menu you pick decides how simple it is.
A short empty positioning flight to KAPC rarely involves customs for catering. If the leg began abroad, the entry airport handles food declaration, and we provision the aircraft afresh at Napa, with cabin crew meals packed in sealed boxes.
Yes, you can bring food, but a long leg with two services benefits from staging: first course cold, second hot, each in its own labelled box. We pack to the galley layout you give us at KAPC.
Catering stays outside the private jet charter and is invoiced as its own order. A late change in passengers means new portions and new labels, and we deliver at the aircraft as agreed.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
