Low elevation, about 220 feet
At roughly 220 feet there is no altitude adjustment for burners, ovens, or dish-machine water. Humidity and heat matter more, and we plan refrigeration and ventilation around them.

St. Helena, California Mobile Kitchen Trailer Rentals and Dishwashing Trailers
Vineyards define St. Helena, which anchors an appellation with more than 400 vineyards and counts wine producers among its largest employers. The Culinary Institute of America at Greystone has a campus here, and State Route 29 runs through as the main road of the wine country. Harvest, tourism, and fire recovery shape the demand for food service.
We rent mobile kitchen trailers, dishwashing trailers, and emergency refrigeration trailers as short-term rentals or long-term leases. Call any hour or request availability and a quote for your St. Helena site.

What the conditions mean for a rental in St. Helena
Mild winters, lows near 43°F
Winter here is mild, with typical January lows around 43°F. Freeze protection is a light-touch item, and we keep it on the checklist for the occasional cold snap.
July highs near 95°F
At 95°F a cooking line and a refrigeration unit compete for the same power and the same cool air. Refrigerated trailers work hardest in these months, and a failed walk-in can lose a day of stock fast, which is why we treat cooler failures as emergencies.
Close to our Sacramento warehouse
Our Sacramento warehouse is about 55 miles away, so equipment does not travel far. That helps in an emergency, and we plan placement and hookups with you before the trailer rolls.
Where a mobile kitchen helps in St. Helena
Fire evacuation and rebuilding
The Glass Fire of September 2020 burned 67,484 acres, destroyed 1,555 structures, and damaged or destroyed 31 wineries, restaurants, and lodges. When fires hit, restaurants and lodges lose kitchens and inventory, and a temporary kitchen and refrigeration trailer can support reopening and staff meals.
Hospital and care-facility continuity
The nearby hospital was evacuated twice in five weeks during the Glass Fire. When a care facility or clinic in the area has a damaged kitchen or an outage, a trailer with dishwashing can keep patient and staff meals going while the permanent kitchen is repaired.
Harvest and tourist-season crowds
State Route 29 is often heavily congested with tourists in spring and summer, and harvest adds crews to the valley. Wineries, restaurants, and event operators can use extra cooking, dishwashing, and cold storage for harvest meals and large tasting events.

Delivery from our Sacramento warehouse to St. Helena
We keep equipment in Sacramento, the California capital, and plan every delivery from there. St. Helena is about 55 miles from the warehouse as the crow flies; the actual road route, timing, and any permits are confirmed when we quote.
Getting a trailer to St. Helena
Trailers reach St. Helena by State Route 29, the primary road through the valley. The expressway section ends south of town, leaving a two-lane road through the wine towns that is often heavily congested with tourists in spring and summer. Plan delivery windows around traffic.
The closest towns we serve are Calistoga (about 8 miles), Yountville (10 miles), and Cotati (18 miles).
Open 24/7
Emergency deployment, any hour
The 2020 Glass Fire put about 70,000 people under evacuation orders and destroyed or damaged 31 wineries, restaurants, and lodges. A 24/7 emergency deployment can support rebuilding and displaced staff with kitchens and refrigeration.

How a rental works
Rentals run by the month, with short-term and long-term options. Delivery, setup, and pickup are coordinated for your site. An inquiry does not reserve equipment; a person confirms availability, delivery time, and terms with you. Hours: open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Setup usually takes about five hours for kitchens and dishwashing trailers and about one hour for refrigeration units, and an inquiry is the first step, not a reservation.

Frequently asked questions
What permit is needed for a temporary kitchen in Napa County?
Temporary and mobile food operations in California are generally overseen by the county environmental health office. Requirements depend on the menu and the setting, so contact Napa County early and send us anything they ask us to document.
Can a large trailer fit on a vineyard or winery site?
Winery drives and vineyard roads can be narrow, with limited turning room, and hillside sites are common. Send us photos and the address, and we can talk through placement, hookups, and whether a shorter trailer makes sense for your site.
Can you deploy a kitchen to St. Helena in an emergency?
Yes. We answer 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and emergency deployment starts with a phone call to (888) 385-5513. Equipment ships from our Sacramento warehouse, and we confirm availability and delivery time to St. Helena when we quote.
Does an inquiry reserve equipment?
No. An inquiry starts the conversation only. Nothing is held until we have confirmed availability, delivery time, and terms with you.
