In The House of Vajra

An Evening With Giuseppe Vajra

Thursday, May 14th | 6:30pm | Cantina | $135++

The Vajra story begins with a young college student named Aldo Vajra, upset with the social climate of the times, and actively protesting in the streets of Turin with others.

One day, Aldo’s father happened to spot him in the streets protesting and as punishment, sent him to stay at the grandparent’s farm in the Langhe. On this farm, Aldo began to learn about other agricultural products and his passion for farming started to take shape. It was during this time that he also met the woman who was to become his wife. She shared his passion and they launched their own winery during a very difficult time in Italy’s history.

Fast forward to 2021 and we find ourselves with the second generation of the Vajra family, who still to this day, work hand in hand with Aldo. The family consists of Giuseppe, Isidoro, and Francesca, each serving a different role in the company.

Join us as we are honored to hose Giuseppe Vajra for this very special wine dinner prepared for us by our Executive Chef, Francisco Neri.
