Matthew Fairfield

Sous Chef

Born and raised in Keene, New Hampshire, Matthew Fairfield lived in the Northeast his entire life until this opportunity at Domaine Chandon brought him out West. Matthew knew from an early age that he wanted to cook for a living, so after high school he enrolled in the Culinary Institute of America at Hyde Park. During a career fair at the end of his schooling in January 2006, Matthew spoke with a number of potential employers including Domaine Chandon. With the prospect of more temperate weather and the fresh food available in California, Matthew packed his bags for Napa Valley. He has been working in the kitchen at etoile since February 2006.
