Go visit! Cowboy Doug was great. This is not a winery you will hear a lot about, but it’s good. It’s intimate and has a good story. Learning about the owners and their philosophy makes me want to support them more.

We had a fantastic stop at AuburnJames Winery. It was great to talk to Eric and hear about the wine making process. Looking forward to enjoying your wine at home!

Last stop of 3 winery tour. All were unique and very good but this one is small and so personal. We felt like friends sitting in the family room just chilling and drinking fantastic wine.

One of the highlights of a recent visit to Napa was our trip to AuburnJames Winery. This was the smallest of the wineries we visited and it had much more of a down-home, intimate, family feel to it than others. Eric our wine ambassador carefully explained each offering but the best part of our visit was getting to converse with the chief winemaker and owner, Jim Frost. Jim was great to talk with and he spent time with each member of our tour group talking about how he got into the wine business, how they produce their wines and how each member of their team does everything from taking care of the vineyards to picking grapes. He was also great answering questions we had about things like why red wines continue to age in the bottle. AuburnJames (the Auburn part comes from the famous, classic automobile brand) is a bit off the beaten path but is well worth the visit, if not for their great wines, for the hospitality and the chance to experience the clear passion of the team for the art (and as Jim suggests, the science) of winemaking.

What an amazing find! Highly recommended by the priority wine pass, we decided to give this small winery a try and SO glad we did. Small staff with great love and attention to their wines and guests. Our tasting was outside in the beautiful backyard overlooking the vines. Each wine was so unique and delicious! So many good things to say about this place that we even added them to our few wine clubs we have joined over the years. There is defiantly something to be said about the smaller wineries- this one puts love in every bottle they make from their crispy Chardonnay to their unique, mouthwatering, smooth reds.

Visited lots of wineries in Napa and had the best and most interesting experience here. It was personal and educational and the wine was fabulous!

We just spent the most wonderful afternoon at Auburn James! Doug was not only knowledgeable but the kindest person. He 100% made our day. If you’re looking for good wine and a wonderful guest experience this is the place! ?❤️
Had a great time at the tasting cottage, so great I signed up for the wine club. Canceled it back in August and they just charged me another $500 bucks after I was told it was canceled. Sent emails and called several times. No responses and money still has not been refunded. This has turned out to be such a headache. DO NOT RECOMMEND THE WINE CLUB!

Auburn James was our favorite winery stop in Napa! Our tasting was particularly special because it with one of the wine makers, Eric and his bull dog Pepa. Neither of us are big wine aficionados and Eric answered all of our questions and let us try some amazing wines. Big show stopper for my girlfriend was the Chardonnay - this was the first one she’s ever had that she enjoyed because of Auburn James’ unique approach to that grape. But everything we had was great! Will certainly be returning!

Enjoyed Eric and all the wonderful wines! Highly recommend. Taught us how to properly smell the different aromatics of the wines that I never noticed before.

We had a great experience at Auburn James. We enjoyed all of their wines and talking with the people in the tasting room. A very personal and down to earth experience.

My wife and I had a great experience at Auburn James today. Doug, our host, presented some great wines and really interacted with our group. Highly recommend.
