I've visited this place several times. Each time was very enjoyable. The staff is knowledgeable, the wine is good, and the atmosphere is excellent.

We did our end-of-year team event at AJA Vineyards and had the best time! The wines were delicious, and it was really interesting learning about AJA’s story. Amanda and her team were super friendly and made the whole experience easy and enjoyable. Can’t wait to go back!

A friend treated me to wine tasting for my birthday and it was an amazing experience! We got their classic flight which offered a variety of whites, reds, and Rose. The customer service was impeccable, and Amanda did an amazing job of making us feel at home. We even got three bottles to take home and would’ve gotten more because the wines were just that good. Overall an amazing experience and looking forward to coming back soon!

Had a wonderful visit to this tasting room on a calm weekday afternoon. Was the perfect place to pop in for a glass of wine and chat with the staff and other guests at the bar. The staff were extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Had the ‘22 Winemakers Red Blend and thought it was fantastic. The bar snacks were delicious, too. Would definitely come back here for a solo glass of wine or with a small group in the evening to try their full tasting flight!

The reds are to die for. Had the Winemaker's blend and Cab Sauv. Highly recommend. Service and ownership are outstanding.

We had an amazing time at AJA Vineyards Tasting room. The staff were very welcoming and had us seated right away with no delays. We were pretty hungry from skipping lunch so the snacks they served were an added bonus in the tasting experience. The tasting room itself was beautifully designed and decorated. We tried multiple wines but my personal favorite was the was one of their whites. The host, Amanda, knew so much about the wines and how to pair them as well as the history behind each one. It really made the experience special to hear the backstories of the wine and how it gets to the glass in front of you. We will be back. Best tasting room in Santa Monica!

I've visited AJA Vineyards at least 5 times since it opened last year and it's a true gem! Their beautiful tasting room in Santa Monica offers a warm, elegant ambiance and exceptional service. The staff, many of whom are sommeliers, make every visit a learning experience while guiding you through their outstanding wines, crafted with love in Malibu Canyon. If you're lucky, you might even meet Amanda (one of the "A's" in AJA), who runs the tasting room with a genuine passion for wine and a commitment to creating exceptional experiences for her guests.
As a family-owned business, their passion and dedication shine in every detail. If you're looking for delicious wines and an inviting experience, AJA Vineyards is a must-visit. Cheers!

Beautiful and comfortable tasting room. The total experience was great. Very knowledgeable and attentive tasting room team and wonderful wines. Well worth the visit.
AJA Vineyards is a must-visit for wine lovers in Santa Monica! Their $45 Estate Tasting Flight includes one white and four red wines, each with fascinating stories. I loved the Sauvignon Blanc from Eds’ Vineyard with tropical pineapple notes and the 2013 Syrah’s mocha and mushroom flavors, perfectly paired with dark chocolate.
The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and the Somm Bomb, a blend of three white wines, was a fun palate cleanser. The Chef Board, with prosciutto, ricotta, and more, paired perfectly with the wines.
Perfect for a Galentine’s outing, date night, or relaxing with friends. Highly recommend!

Great place to hang out with friends and enjoy a delicious glass of chardonnay. We went before dinner and did not want to leave. Jack the waiter is incredibly knowledgable about wine and the AJA story. We will make this tasting room a regular stop before going out for dinner in the area.
