James & Co.

Wines - A Hidden Gem in Rutherglen.

Exploring a new wine region can be a lot—where do you start? Here's a tip: head straight to the only winery cellar door on Rutherglen's Main Street for an experience that's easygoing, welcoming, and deliciously different.

For nearly eight years, James & Co. Wines has reimagined what a Rutherglen Cellar Door can be. Their success comes from our unique approach to wine—crafted for wine lovers of all levels. They make approachable, food-friendly wines using premium fruit from Beechworth and Alpine Valleys, with a special love for Sangiovese in four distinctive styles. Their wines are award-winning, but their laid-back winemaker Ricky James is too low-key to make a fuss about that!

Pair your wines with a cheese board you create yourself from their 'Cheese Your Own Adventure' fridge. Walk-ins are always welcome, and if you book ahead, you might even have Ricky himself guiding your tasting. Come see why once you find them, you'll want to return again and again! Ricky and Georgie Jame
