A Lifelong dream

The seed for James Cole Winery was planted long ago when we met amidst the vibrant energy of San Francisco. We envisioned a life immersed in the world of wine, a place where we could craft exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon and Bordeaux blends in a setting that was both intimate and inviting. In 2000, that dream took root in the heart of Napa Valley when we purchased our eleven-acre estate on Silverado Trail. With our first harvest in 2003 and the winery doors opening in 2007, James Cole Winery became a testament to our passion and dedication.

Luxury without pretense
At James Cole, luxury isn't about formality or extravagance. It's about creating an authentic and approachable experience where guests feel like family. Our small, tranquil estate, nestled amidst the rolling vineyards of Silverado Trail, provides the perfect backdrop for relaxation and connection. The tasting room, adorned with vintage treasures like early 1900s Harley Davidson motorcycles and a 1959 Corvette, exudes a sense of casual sophistication. Every detail, from the blooming flowers in our garden to the classic rock and roll soundtrack, is carefully curated to create an atmosphere that is both refined and welcoming.

We believe that true luxury lies in the connections we forge. It's about sharing our passion for wine with you, offering personalized service, and creating memories that last a lifetime. Whether you're enjoying a tasting in our romantic barrel room, admiring the vineyard views, or simply relaxing amidst the charm of our vintage décor, we invite you to experience luxury redefined.
Enter as Strangers Leave as Friends
This motto, discovered serendipitously a few years after opening our doors, perfectly encapsulates the spirit of James Cole Winery. We believe that wine is best enjoyed in the company of others, and we strive to create an environment where friendships blossom. Our team is passionate about sharing not only our wines but also our stories, creating a sense of community and connection that extends far beyond the tasting room. We invite you to step into our world, share a glass, and leave with a newfound appreciation for both wine and friendship.
