Malibu Winemakers To Open Santa Monica's 'First Ever Winery Tasting Room'

SANTA MONICA, CA — Malibu-based AJA Vineyards will bring its wine down from the mountains and into Santa Monica when it opens its first tasting room downtown next month.

The vintners say the space, located at 2nd Street and Santa Monica Boulevard, will be Santa Monica's "first ever winery tasting room."

Established in 2011 at the home of Todd and Heather Greenbaum, AJA Vineyards grows a range of grapes at its several vineyards in the Santa Monica Mountains, located in the Malibu Coast viticulture area.

The tasting room, located at 1417 2nd St., will open Oct. 9 with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 5:15 p.m. The space will offer wine flights, glasses and bottles.
