Christopher Howe – Chef, Restaurateur, Sailor

Christopher blends great local food, exceptional wine, and salty adventure into every journey. A photographer-turned-restaurateur-turned-winemaker with a chef’s palate and a love of wild places, he’s just as happy handcrafting a galley feast as he is grinding a winch. Based out of Royal Geelong crewing on a Cookson 50, with offshore racing experience including the Sydney to Hobart in 2023 and 2024, M2H, M2D, and thousands of miles aboard Wind Shift with Matt throughout New Zealand, Fiji, and Australia, he well knows and respects the magic of the sea. Whether swapping stories over shared meals or hiking the rugged trails of southwest Tasmania, Christopher lives for connecting with people through food and wine, and exploring the edges of the map through sailing.
