Washington State Wine Dinner with Conde Valdemar

Join us for an unforgettable evening at Vermilion as we celebrate the wines of Valdemar Estates! Owner Jesus Bujanda-Mora will be joining us for a four-course Mid-Atlantic dinner by Chef Anthony Chittum, sharing his family's story and guiding guests through four exceptional wines from the Washington State.

In 1889, Joaquin Martínez Bujanda began the family winemaking tradition in Oyón, a small town in Northern Spain. His son, Marcelino, and his grandson, Jesús, followed in his footsteps. Jesús' son, Don Jesús Martínez Bujanda, created Bodegas Valdemar in the 1980s.

Jesús fell in love with the Walla Walla Valley while he was a student at the University of Washington. His passion for winemaking and for the valley led him to create Valdemar Estates.

Today, Jesús Martínez Bujanda and his sister, Ana Martínez Bujanda, represent the fifth generation to lead the family business. Together, they opened Valdemar Estates, the first internationally owned winery in Washington state. It is here where they are making their mark on the family’s legacy of innovation while pursuing their passion for wine.
