A Letter From HandJamMasterC

What is Camp D.O.A. ( Decadent Outdoor Adventurers ) ? It’s a bunch of good friends that after going to Burning Man in 2008 and 2009 decided that participating in Burning Man as a theme camp would be the best and most satisfying way to experience Burning Man. And a great way to give back some love to our fellow citizens of Black Rock City. The main idea, started in 2010, was to have a wine and champagne bar in Black Rock City. There are a lot of bars at Burning Man. Our idea was to do things a little differently. We are a small theme camp ( about 20 theme camp members at most ) with a small bar. We knew we could only serve so many guests for a couple of hours each day. We couldn’t do quantity, so we decided to do quality! We are only “ officially “ open 1 ½ - 2 hours once or twice a day in the main bar, and we have to limit the number of guests that come into the bar so we don’t get too crowded ( it’s small ). We only serve good wine and champagne, and we only serve in champagne and wine glasses provided by us. In other words, we don’t have the resources to serve everybody, so we choose to spoil the crap out of the limited number of people we can just like we would if you were in our own home! Because you are a special guest here and you are in our home on the Playa! Most of the wines for 2022 are from France and Italy. French and good domestic champagne and French Rose’, white Burgundy, and white Bordeaux round out what we are serving up for 2022, with some fun wine tasting comparisons and wine tasting classes. Education and intoxication!

There are two bars in Camp D.O.A. for 2022 – Peritwinkle's Retreat ( a mix of morning mimosa’s and early evening wine tasting events and Bailey's Irish Cream shot events ) and HandJam’s La Petite Mini Bar wine bar.

We hope to see you at one of our events on the Playa in 2022! Or just stop by and say hi!
