Max De La Cruz

Born and raised in Napa Valley, I’ve always been surrounded by the beauty and culture of world-class food and wine. This environment sparked my passion for delivering exceptional dining experiences and providing guests with warm, attentive service that makes every visit memorable.

With over three years of experience in fine dining and luxury hospitality, I’ve cultivated skills in personalized service, team collaboration, and wine education. Roles at renowned establishments such as The Living Room at The Ritz-Carlton and Torc have taught me the importance of attention to detail and creating memorable moments for every guest.

In addition to hospitality experience, I’m bilingual, fluent in both Spanish and English, which enables me to connect with a diverse range of guests and team members. Beyond hospitality, my background includes skills in communication, digital marketing, sales processes, creative writing, and photography—diverse experiences that contribute to my adaptability and problem-solving capabilities.

Currently pursuing studies in computer programming, I have further sharpened my analytical thinking and organizational skills. These qualities, combined with my hospitality expertise, allow me to approach challenges with creativity and precision.

I thrive in fast-paced, high-energy environments where teamwork and a shared commitment to excellence drive success.
