Rajat "Raj" Parr is a titan of taste, a master of terroir, and an icon of purity in winemaking! From the glittering world of fine dining as a sommelier extraordinaire to the sacred soils of Sta. Rita Hills and the Willamette Valley, Raj has redefined what it means to craft wines of elegance, restraint, and soul.
With an unshakable passion for Burgundy, Raj’s journey has taken him from curating world-class wine lists for Michael Mina’s empire to co-founding Sandhi Wines, Domaine de la Côte, and Evening Land Vineyards, where he lets the grapes and land speak without manipulation or excess. Every bottle is a manifesto of balance, structure, and precision, created through biodynamic farming, native fermentations, and a reverence for terroir.
At Sandhi Wines, Raj explores the brilliant minerality and finesse of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, while Domaine de la Côte and Evening Land elevate these noble varietals to their purest, most expressive form. No shortcuts. No over-ripening. Just wines that shimmer with energy and tell the story of the land from which they were born.
Join us for an unforgettable evening of conversation, discovery, and the purest expressions of Burgundy-influenced brilliance! Raj Parr doesn’t just make wine—he crafts experiences that linger on the palate and in the soul.
