Kate was phenomenal!!! Had a great informative conversation about wine and food pairing. She is an encyclopedia of information about wine. Learned a lot from her even though I already knew a lot.

Beautiful tasting wines. A true boutique winery that produces some of the best wines. One of the best Malbecs I’ve ever had. Their Petite Verdot was amazing. Had to buy and ship!!!

Thank you again for the unforgettable experience at James Cole Winery and for the time, energy, and presence Dustin brought to our visit. The stories he told made the tasting feel both intimate and genuinely engaging. Hearing about the 1959 Corvette, the motorcycle and scuba diving adventures brought the personality of the winery into sharper focus and revealed the family’s passion for living. It is a reflection of the same blend of precision, thrill, and deep appreciation for the essence of alchemy required for superior wine making. The wines themselves were outstanding: The depth, elegance, and sense of place in the glass spoke volumes about the care and intention behind James Cole.

We always love our tastings at James Cole. Delicious, unique, robust reds with engaging hosts. Beautiful & relaxed environment - such a rare treat in the Napa Valley!

Holly ensured we tried some older vintages that quickly made it into our collection! Happy holidays everyone ~ ours is off to a great start!

Dustin was an incredible host. Excellent wine that is a great expression of Napa wines. Comfortable place to taste and isn’t stuffy or pretentious. A great place for a family owned boutique experience.

We first discovered James Cole many years ago and have been club members for over 10 years. We recently visted again with another couple and we were not disappointed. Alyssa did a great job of introducing their great wines to the other couple who had joined us. We had a fantastic time, learned a lot, and of course purchased more great wines for our cellars. If you have not tried their wines, please do so. You will not be disappointed! Cheers!

Haven’t had an opportunity to visit the winery in person yet but we absolutely love all the wines we’ve tried.

James Cole is a member of the upper echelon of Napa Valley wineries. It’s location at the southern end of the Silverado Trail is coveted and the small stone winery and tasting room exude a cool and sophisticated vibe. The grounds are just lovely. You’ll find that the staff are friendly, enthusiastic and well-trained veterans of the industry. If you’re in search of a varietal not on Cole’s menu or just need a restaurant recommendation, these are the folks to ask. James Cole’s wine offerings are broad but not too broad. Enjoy their powerful Napa cab or rich blends, well-textured Chardonnay, delicate Sauvignon Blanc and really interesting Pinot. Oh, and try the newish rose. All a great treat and often at a very competitive price point. Cheers!

James Cole is one of our favorite local Napa wineries. Excellent wine, modern and comfortable tasting room and hosts that knowledgeable and friendly. We enjoy JC wines regularly and have also purchased them to serve at special events and sent them to clients for holiday gifts. Excellent presentation.

I used to enjoy your wines when I was Charles made them. They are not the same. Pretty simple. That and you had warm and engaging staff back then. I have been back to taste and the wines and the people are simply not as good as they once were.

Super relaxed tasting. We were under a cabana outside. Grounds were pretty, inside had some cool vintage vehicles and a pinball machine to play while we waited for them to set up our tasting since we were a bit early. Our tasting host was super friendly, knowledgeable, and just delightful! Bought 4 or 5 bottles. Thank you!
