About us

Local people, local food

Twisp River Catering is a Methow Valley catering company based in Twisp, Washington.

Our story

Dominick & Tarah Wernicke

We’re Dominick and Tarah Wernicke. We’ve run a full-service catering company built on off-site events before, and we ran the Idle a While Motel. Twisp River Catering brings that experience home to the valley.

Our food leans into what the Northwest does best: meats smoked in-house, Columbia River steelhead, scratch desserts, local produce and seasonal Lapin cherries, with vegetarian and vegan dishes that don’t feel like an afterthought.

We’re also the team working to reopen the Twisp River Tap House, the riverside pub on Methow Valley Highway in Twisp. That reopening is still in progress.
