Two seatings per night, 6:00 PM and 8:30 PM. Rooms are small on purpose, so seats go fast.

Chef Paul Barbosa harvesting herbs and produce in the garden

August 22, 2026

Paul Barbosa

Co-founder, Esther's, Todos Santos · Baja California Sur

Twelve years self-taught, and a cook whose whole philosophy runs through fermentation. Working with farmers, fishermen, and foragers across Baja California Sur, Paul builds a pantry of misos, shoyus, vinegars, koji, and wild botanical ferments — the backbone of both his food and his cocktails. For one night in August, that pantry meets California's late-summer harvest and Henwill Gin.

Last time — FORAGED

The review says it better than we can.

FORAGED was our last tasting dinner: chef-led courses, complimentary Henwill cocktails, and a room full of people who came for something better than a normal night out. Here's what it looked like — August and September follow the same format.

What to expect

Not a bar night. Not a normal dinner.

Henwill tastings are built around small rooms, chef collaborations, and gin pairings that make the meal feel more alive.

Two seatings a night

Each dinner runs at 6:00 PM and 8:30 PM so you can pick the pace of your evening.

Limited seats

The rooms are intentionally intimate, which means seats are limited by design and go quickly.

Chef-led menus

Each tasting is built around one chef's specific point of view, not a generic event package.

Henwill pairings

Complimentary Henwill Gin cocktails designed to sit naturally alongside the food.

Reserve your seat

Two dinners. Four seatings. Small rooms.

August 22 with Chef Paul Barbosa, September 17 with Chef Paula Endara. Pick a night above — or join the waitlist and get first access to future tastings before they open to the public.
