St. James Winery

I went to the winery’s ‘Vines In Bloom’ dinner last week, and was so impressed! The atmosphere and general ambiance was very nice, and wine of course was excellent. But what impressed me most was the spectacular dinner! It was a set menu, but they graciously accommodated my vegan diet and prepared seriously one of the best meals I had ever had. The combination of the friendly, knowledgeable staff, and the creative chef, made for an amazing dining experience. The fact they went above and beyond to prepare a vegan meal (which I did not expect at all. I expected a salad!), paired perfectly with the wine, really created such a delightful and fun evening.

I'm posting this on April 3rd, 2025, because I forgot to post reviews after our anniversary getaway. We went to St James on November 13th, 2024. And I'm sorry, but I don't remember the gal who assisted us at the wine tasting. She was super fun, super sweet, and had great suggestions! After the wine tasting, we had a simple lunch of The Caesar Grilled Chicken Salad and the St. James Antipasto Platter. We shared both of them and were quite full. I have attached photos of the food, as well as the menus that they had when we were there. The service was excellent, and the food was delicious! Highly recommend! (Also, the back porch was closed due to the rain, but there was a cute, furry little guest out back doing some grazing of his own. See photo.)

Purchased some wine to take back home. I can’t wait to try it and if I like it I’ll Ben back for more !! Love supporting local farms and businesses 🍇 🥂

20241008 I enjoyed shopping here. I came for the grape juice and sparkling passionfruit and peach juice. I tasted all 4 of them and 2 very sweet wine, including their ice wine. I ended up getting 2 cases of concord grape juice and 1 case of sparkling passionfruit and peach juice. I also got some chocolate, coffee, and beer that I didn't know they had. The young man working there was so helpful. He helped me with the tasting and helped me shop for coffee and beer since I knew nothing about them. He also helped load my car with the cases. He was so polite. I had such a great experience shopping here. I will likely come back the next time I visit MO.

Nice place to stop for a moment. Have a cute little gift shop section too. They allow you to try before you buy so, I tasted a few wines before deciding on the Mango Pineapple wine and a 4 pack of the sparkling strawberry wine. Enjoyable wines, friendly staff. Glad I stopped.

I really enjoyed the wine and bistro here! I am still leaving a 5 star review, as there were plenty of other aspects of my visit that will keep me coming back. The only other employee name I can remember is Morgan. She did make our prior visit spectacular. She spoke respectfully, which I value. I do believe she is the one doing the chalk art, I spoke to her briefly about it. If you are guest considering a visit, I hope you have the pleasure of meeting her and enjoying the wine and art. It’s the little things that matter! I would recommend this place, however, something needs to be corrected among the staff…..I rarely leave reviews, but this just wasn’t sitting well with me. I’ve been here a couple times now. I would leave employee names, but unfortunately I’m not certain if I’m recalling names correctly; so I’ll just recount the incident first. I don’t want to incorrectly leave names. There seems to be a lack of respect with a couple of employees. One name I can confidently recall is Suzanne. I’m not certain of the other name. They were using inappropriate language and appeared to be talking disrespectfully about another employee. This to me shows a level of disrespect to everyone involved — including the guests. Employees are a representation of the company and brand. Is this what the winery represents? I’m unsure if management is aware of this issue. It did not appear to be a one time occurrence, due to the nature of how comfortable these two women were speaking. If management was aware of this prior to my message, then I hope there are steps being taken to correct this. If management was not aware prior to this, then that is why I’m leaving this review. To me, this is not something to take lightly. This should not be allowed at any workplace. This wouldn’t even be allowed in a middle school. Which, unfortunately, is the age she was acting. This behavior did not ruin my visit, but did put a damper on the afternoon. I’ve dwelled on this issue for a bit now, and decided I needed to speak on it. I hope to visit again soon when I’m back in the area. Thank you, Sue

My husband and I each tried our own wine flights. The price is really good, and they even gave our daughter complimentary juice, crackers, and a cookie. All of the wines I tried were very good, and the staff was exceptionally nice!

Great winery! Also have delicious juices. Friendly and helpful staff. Well stocked gift shop. Multiple seating options both indoor and outdoor. Medium parking lot. Convenient location only moments from the interstate and the state highway.
