Tavis Rockwell specializes in reinvented Southern-inspired small plates. A Midwest native, Rockwell’s love for cooking started during his childhood when he would watch countless cooking shows and help his grandparents manage a small farm. From landing his first sous chef position at 22 years old to the now Culinary Director at LouVino, overseeing all locations, Rockwell brings original flair and knack for creativity to his role at LouVino.

Rockwell completed the culinary arts program at Sullivan University in 2007. Rockwell’s loaded baked potato stuffed tots, chocolate beignets and pancake tacos have earned LouVino numerous accolades, including one of the "The South’s Best Brunches" by Southern Living, Best New Restaurant by Louisville Magazine and “Best Wine Bar in Every State” by Buzzfeed.
