We are here to create a safe, open, and inspiring space that empowers people to consume and experience cannabis in personal and intentional ways.
Our Story
It started, as all Bay Area legends do, in a garage with the founders enjoying one of their favorite exotic strains. We asked, “Why aren’t other people experiencing cannabis the way we are?” The answer became House Caviar.
We began with the philosophy that, beyond teaching people how to smoke and what to smoke, we needed to create a safe and open space that fosters their curiosity: the House. We started by throwing our own events so people could see what normalized social consumption looks like. Once it was clear that consuming cannabis in social settings can be a pleasant, safe, and fun experience, we looked to educate on the best, highest quality, and most responsibly produced product: the Caviar.
Together these elements formed the basis of a business that brings thoughtful and refined cannabis experiences to the initiated and uninitiated alike, helping to normalize the social consumption of cannabis and showing people the best of what that world has to offer.

Antoinette Vu
As a former high school English teacher, Antoinette found joy in encouraging adolescent minds to challenge conventional thought. Now, Antoinette brings her passion for education to the cannabis industry. As a cannabis consumer who understands the benefits of regular consumption, she felt an obligation to use her experience as an educator to teach the world about cannabis.
At House Caviar, Antoinette focuses on strategic partnerships and promoting the company’s vision of socializing cannabis. She’s designed successful events that have not only introduced cannabis to first-time users, but also showcased cannabis in a new light to connoisseurs.
