Ayaba Wines

Our Story

The story of Ayaba wines is rooted in family, love and celebration. In the fall of 2015, our founder was celebrating Thanksgiving in Oakland, California like he had many years before. It was a house full of love, amazing food, and strong drinks, which often lead to passionate debates, competitive games and belly laughs. 

While enjoying all the festivities, our founder, Jerry Bailey, was asked by some of the women in his family for something different to drink. The cognac that most of the men were drinking was too strong and the wine was a bit too dry and bitter for them. They expressed that they wanted something that was sophisticated and complex while also fruity.
