JAJI Presents

A night with the Maker: Wine Addition

An Evening with David Sampedro of Bodegas Bhilar
 Winemaker Dinner & Wine Pairing Experience at JAJI

Join us for a special night celebrating the soulful wines of Bodegas Bhilar, a boutique winery rooted in the hills of Rioja Alavesa. We're thrilled to welcome David Sampedro from Spain, the visionary viticulture behind the project, for an intimate evening of storytelling, wine, and food.

David’s organic, horse-farmed vineyards and minimalist approach to winemaking produce wines that speak of place, passion, and sustainability.

Enjoy a multi-course dinner curated by JAJI’s culinary team, each dish thoughtfully paired with a selection of Bhilar wines. As you dine, David will guide you through his wines and the philosophy behind them—from plow-horses to solar power and everything in between.
