About this Event
A Wine Tasting Where Strangers Become Friends
Join us for our first event at AJA Vineyards' new Santa Monica tasting room, a family-owned winery pouring award-winning estate wines from California's Malibu Coast. An evening of guided tasting with AJA's sommelier team, light bites, and the kind of connection that happens when strangers share a table.
"Far and away, the best group of people I've ever experienced. Welcoming and warm." — LA Guest
The Experience
- A 4-flight guided tasting led by AJA's sommelier team, walking the group through each pour
- Communal light bites to accompany the wines
- Seat rotations between flights so you meet everyone in the room
- Intimate group size capped small, curated for good energy and real connection
- The AJA team is also offering 10% off any bottle purchased to go by our guests during or after the tasting experience.
This is a guided wine tasting with light bites, not a seated dinner. Come ready to sip, snack, and mingle.
About the Venue
AJA Vineyards is a family-owned winery producing estate wines in California's coveted Malibu Coast AVA: Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Bordeaux-style blends, and Sauvignon Blanc. Every bottle is made by hand. Grapes picked at their peak, whites fermented in steel and finished in oak, reds aged up to thirty months in barrel and years more in bottle.
Their new Santa Monica tasting room brings all of it a few blocks from the beach, and in AJA's own words, every detail of the room is set for a personal, unhurried experience, the kind shared between family and dear friends.

FAQs
- What is the general age range of your events? We encourage guests from all ages and backgrounds to attend our events. Our programming is tailored to anyone looking to meet others. Generally, we've seen the age range of our events to be between 25-40 years old. That's not to say anyone outside of that range can't attend!
- What's the difference between General Admission tickets and Men & Women tickets? Any ticket purchase gets the same experience, there is no difference. We've created gendered tickets to ensure a relatively even distribution of guests at our events. GA is open to anyone.
- Can I come alone? Yes, we encourage it! Our goal at The Dinner Table is to create meaningful connections through cuisine and art. Many of our guests leave with new friends at the end of the event.
- What is your refund policy? We understand sometimes things come up, and that's why we offer a full credit to your next event if you cancel ten days before the event
