Mise en Place – the Podcast Patrick Gayler

Welcome to Mise en Place – the Podcast, on this weeks podcast our guest is overseeing some of the best restaurants in the Okanagan Valley  — Chef Patrick Gayler, Executive Chef of the iconic Mission Hill Family Estate Winery. With a deep commitment to sustainability, seasonality, and the spirit of collaboration, Patrick has transformed the dining experience at Mission Hill’s Terrace Restaurant into one of the most acclaimed winery restaurants in Canada.
