Janine Weismann
As Pastry Chef, Janine Weismann is thrilled to lead the team that supports both Bouchon Bistro and Bouchon Bakery in Yountville, CA. Weismann discovered her sweet tooth as a child growing up in Sarasota, FL where dessert was always a big part of her life. She began working in local Florida bakeries at a young age and went on to pursue her interest at Johnson & Wales Culinary School; first at their Miami, FL campus and then in Providence, RI.
After graduating with her Bachelor of Science Degree in 2005, Weismann worked as a manager for the pastry departments at the Nemacolin Woodland Resort in Farmington, PA and Vidalia restaurant in Washington, DC. She then joined the pastry team at Chef Thomas Keller’s restaurant The French Laundry in Yountville, CA starting as a commis and later becoming a chef de partie. In 2009 she moved to Bouchon Bakery as Pastry Sous Chef and was promoted to her current position in July 2010.
Weismann is driven by her love of connecting with guests through dessert experiences that evoke their favorite memories of childhood and is happy to work with all the wonderful purveyors and products available in northern California.
