AJA Vineyards

Located in the serene nature of the Santa Monica Mountains one can find robust vineyards, fruiting endlessly and rapidly. AJA Vineyards was established in 2011 at the home of Todd and Heather Greenbaum and consists of three vineyards planted along the hillsides of their Malibu Estate. Vineyards by the beach, a dream come true!

In 2007, carefully selected Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah vines were gently planted in the first vineyard, Pamela’s Vineyard. This vineyard is named after Todd’s mother who is full of wisdom and love, anchoring the family with her compassion.

In the cold of winter in February 2013 the second vineyard was planted with a meticulously researched blend of five grapes; Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc to make up a Bordeaux-styled blend. Todd carefully researched the scientific components of the soil on his estate grounds and found the perfect match of rootstalk and the five varietals.

After the Woolsey Fire in November of 2018, it seemed impossible that not only the house was standing, but that this vineyard, surrounded by flames, did not burn. This vineyard was given the title the Miracle Vineyard both for surviving the flames and for Heather’s Mother Doreen, the “The Miracle Maker”. It is a long-standing saying that when a person matches three couples, they are granted a ticket to heaven. Doreen has matched four beautiful married couples who are happy, healthy and very in love.
