About Destiny

Founder/Chef/Sommelier Destiny Dudley is a food and wine devotee. Her passion is creating dynamic food and wine experiences, that break down the barriers of intimidation and pretension, while bringing families together around the dinner table. A Southern native, Destiny spent her summers clinging to every word, ingredient and dish that came out of her family’s kitchens in Florida, North Carolina, Louisiana and Mississippi. At the age of 23 she threw herself headfirst into all things wine, affording her the blessed opportunity to travel extensively throughout the US and Europe; tasting, smelling and learning about cultures through the food and wine of the locals. Working as a part-time cellar hand for Leah Jorgensen Cellars, she loves to get her hands purple and share the art of fermentation with her guests.

Destiny specializes in farm/ocean-to-table PNW cuisine with influences from France, Italy and, of course, The South. She thrives on the opportunity to pair dishes with complementary wines from Oregon’s Willamette Valley and beyond, and showcasing how great wine can be when paired with the right food.
