A New Chapter in Culinary Luxury: Chef Ellie Schultze Brings Signature Elegance to The Office at Ponte Vedra Beach
At the intersection of fine dining and elevated daily living, a quiet revolution is underway at Ponte Vedra Beach. This Friday, The Office—a luxury co-working and event space just off A1A—invites a curated guest list to an exclusive tasting experience that signals a new era for professional environments: one where gourmet eating is no longer a perk, but a priority.
The catalyst behind this shift? Acclaimed chef and culinary stylist Ellie Schultze.
A St. Augustine native with a global palate, Chef Ellie is poised to reshape how tenants, guests, and members of the broader Ponte Vedra community approach nourishment, convenience, and indulgence—without compromise.
A Signature Vision for On-Site Culinary Excellence
Chef Ellie’s arrival at The Office marks a significant moment for workplace hospitality in North Florida. Known for her health-forward ethos and artistry in balancing flavor with functionality, she brings a résumé that stretches from New York kitchens to award-winning appearances at the St. Augustine Food & Wine Festival and Whiskey, Wine & Wildlife.
But her true distinction lies in her versatility. Her menus—rooted in clean, whole-food ingredients—effortlessly accommodate dietary preferences ranging from vegan and vegetarian to ayurvedic and keto. She specializes in what many chefs attempt and few master: “the perfect bite”—a phrase that now doubles as her culinary calling card.
This Friday, July 11, from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM, Chef Ellie hosts a Private Tasting Event at The Office’s newest expansion, located at 55 A Solana Road, a Terra Innovations property. The open house-style affair offers a luxurious glimpse into what will soon become everyday fare for members and guests alike.
On the menu:
Watermelon feta hors d’oeuvres topped with fresh mint and pistachio
Chicken skewers seasoned with za’atar
Ahi tuna cucumber canapés
Lemon blueberry poundcake bites
Each selection represents Ellie’s signature style—balanced, intentional, and designed to both nourish and delight.
A Chef with Global Influence and Local Loyalty
Chef Ellie’s culinary point of view reflects her rare combination of world travel and regional roots. Having explored over 50 countries, she draws on a diverse mix of flavor profiles and health traditions—but always filters them through a lens of approachability.
A graduate of the University of Central Florida with a business background and a deep sense of community, Ellie isn’t just building a brand—she’s building relationships.
Her loyal following in Vilano and St. Augustine has come to know her not only through her cuisine, but through her continued mentorship, event leadership, and charitable work. That sense of presence and care will now carry over to her new role at The Office, where she’ll offer curated dining solutions that go far beyond a typical catering setup.
Redefining Workplace Dining as a Luxury Amenity
The Office, already recognized as Ponte Vedra’s most refined coworking and event venue, has long blurred the lines between productivity and hospitality. With Ellie now leading culinary operations, those lines will blur even further—in the best way.
“I’m so excited to be part of this new concept—bringing a private chef experience into the office. My goal is to make everyone’s day a little easier by offering fresh, healthy, delicious meals in-house. I’m looking forward to creating a great vibe and building this community through food.”
Executive Chef Ellie Schultze
That vision extends well beyond Friday’s tasting. In the coming months, Ellie will introduce daily lunch service, personalized catering, seasonal tasting menus, and chef-driven pop-ups—all tailored to meet the lifestyle of a high-end clientele.
For guests at Friday’s event, the experience will offer more than just food—it’s a chance to meet Ellie in person, preview her future offerings, and reserve private catering or custom culinary services.
A Taste of What’s Next
In a region increasingly defined by its luxury real estate, high-end wellness offerings, and elevated event culture, the addition of Chef Ellie Schultze to The Office at Ponte Vedra Beach feels not only timely, but essential. Her menu isn’t just an amenity—it’s a reflection of a lifestyle, one where every detail is considered and every bite tells a story.
Space for the tasting is limited, and RSVPs are required. To secure a place at this exclusive event, visit www.terrainnovations.com/invitation.
Chef Ellie’s partnership with The Office marks a defining moment for culinary lifestyle in Ponte Vedra—a shift from fast casual to consciously curated, from functional to exquisite. And for those lucky enough to attend Friday’s event, it’s not just lunch. It’s a preview of luxury, redefined through flavor.
