Chef du Cuisine, Tim Rowland, brings years of hotel experience and highly skilled training to the culinary department of Chateau Elan Winery and Resort. Raised in an Italian household, cooking has always been a part of Rowland’s life. Mastering recipes from his Italian grandmother, Fortunata Muscara, Chef Rowland learned at a young age that good food has the power to bring love, joy, laughter, and lasting memories to families and strangers alike.
Originally from Southern California, Chef Rowland moved to the Atlanta area in 2001 to join The Art Institute of Atlanta. Upon receiving his Associate of Science in Culinary Arts degree, Rowland worked as the Executive Chef at the Hilton Cabana Miami Beach Hotel where he won many awards for his culinary excellence. Now residing back in the Peach State, Chef Rowland leads the culinary department as Chef du Cuisine for Chateau Elan Winery and Resort. In this role, Rowland oversees each outlet’s menu from recipe development to execution.
When Rowland is not helming a kitchen, he loves spending time with his wonderful girlfriend, Angela, and their two-year-old daughter, Leila Grace. Rowland enjoys being outdoors, gardening, and is a proud member of both the American Culinary Federation (ACF) and the Georgia Knife-Makers Guild.
