Our 2021 Sparkling Blush Wine was voted 'Best Wine in Wales' by Wine GB in their 2025 awards
Revenue is increasing year on year with a 20% increase since 2022.
We have been able to expand our product offering with new revenue streams proving popular. For example the number of weddings hosted doubled from 2024.
Our Story
Jabajak’s story began in 2004, when the restaurant & rooms business opened, followed in 2007 by the planting of the vineyard in in the rolling Carmarthenshire countryside. This laid the foundations for what would become one of West Wales’ most distinctive food and wine destinations.
In 2021, we acquired Jabajak, bringing renewed energy, investment and vision, while respecting the vineyard’s heritage and established reputation. We have continued to refine the guest experience, elevating standards of hospitality, food and design, and strengthening Jabajak’s position as a relaxed yet premium destination.
Today, Jabajak is entering its next chapter. Investment is being raised to sensitively modernise the property, including new windows and doors, alongside modernising the outdoor decking area and bar to enhance comfort, sustainability and the overall guest experience while preserving the essence that makes Jabajak unique.

The financials of the company depict a steady trajectory. Sales have remained stable over the past three years at circa £330k. Through effective cost management and the reduction strategy adopted for reducing high overheads, the company improved EBITDA from £39k (YE Sep 2024) to £104k (YE Sep 2025). In the latest year, investment/upgrade in fixed assets resulted in higher depreciation charges, which increased EBITDA.

The bank statements remain well in credit and we have utilized open banking which also indicates good affordability for the loan servicing.
