TIM STANNARD Founding Partner

As the Founding Partner of Bacchus Management Group, Tim Stannard oversees a collection of thriving restaurants, including Michelin-starred restaurants Spruce in San Francisco and The Village Pub in Woodside; Café des Amis in San Francisco; Mayfield Bakery & Cafe in Palo Alto, and four Pizza Antica locations (Lafayette, Mill Valley, San Jose, Santa Monica). In 2008, he launched Roast Coffee Company, an artisanal coffee roasting company offering single origin and estate coffee beans from around the globe. In addition to his restaurant ventures, Stannard has also worked with some of the world’s finest distillers and wine makers to produce a selection of proprietary spirits and wines, including a single barrel Kentucky bourbon, single malt scotch, Willamette Valley pinot noir, German riesling, and will add a selection of seasonal gins to his portfolio in 2012. A long-time proponent of the local food movement, Stannard’s restaurants take their food philosophy one step further through a partnership with SMIP Ranch (SMIP is an acronym for Sic Manebimus In Pace, Latin for “thus we will remain in peace”), located in the hills above Woodside. Approximately 80 percent of Bacchus’ restaurant produce comes directly from five acres of the ranch’s land, all of which is grown without the use of synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers. This collaboration with the land owners and farmers allows Bacchus to demonstrate its allegiance to the global effort for earth stewardship and safe, sustainable food while providing guests with the freshest fare possible. Stannard’s recipe for success – four star food, wine and service – is gleaned from years of hard work and a deep passion for the business.
