David Bauer’s passion to design and deliver the ultimate guest experience with food and wine led him to Los Milics Vineyards, which was voted one of the top ten new wineries in the U.S. in 2023 by USA Today. Intrigued by the award-winning wines and inspired by the natural and manmade landscape, David immediately understood the promise and potential of Los Milics and joined the team in 2022.
David brings decades of hospitality expertise to Los Milics in the worlds of culinary, wine, events, and guest experience. He created events for corporate clients in New York City, LA, Phoenix, Scottsdale, Chicago, Dallas, and other major cities that were notable for presentation: both food and ambience. Some of his signature recipes have become staples in well-known stores.
A gifted host, David relishes the challenge of introducing Arizona wines to wine aficionados. He enjoys seeing the surprise on his guests faces when they savor Los Milics rustic red blends, refreshing rosés, and bright whites. Just ask him and he’s happy to talk about how the terroir in Southern Arizona influences which grapes Los Milics Vineyards chooses to plant and harvest.
David has been a frequent guest on Arizona television stations where he performed cooking demonstrations and shared tips on home design and entertaining. Prior to focusing on food and wine, David had a successful career in marketing, advertising, and branding. David has spent his adult life in Arizona and is excited to be part of the exciting Arizona wine story.
