St. James Winery Reviews

Usually enjoy your wines. Not so much the apple pie wine. Really just do not care for the spices?, the apple pie gone bad taste?--just not sure what I find off-putting but I was.

Such a great selection of wine made at this vineyard. $5 flights of 5 tasters to help you try a large variety with out breaking the bank. Worth a trip, especially if you dec9de to visit the brewery on the same property.

Will never come back. I came in looking to definitely buy fruit wines and possibly much more, but they limited me to six tastings, and claimed it had something with impaired driving. What a crock. It would take at least 30 tastings, and that is if their tastings are as big as they say they are. They aren't the only winery, but they sure act like they are now that they sell a lot of wine. I left with 3 bottles that day because they are good and I did not have another place I knew I could go too, but I'll start looking.

Have stopped at this winery every year for the past 20 years. A group of women and daughters going to Lake of the Ozarks made the winery part of their yearly ritual and have always enjoyed our stop. Wine tasting, great selection of wines and other goodies are well displayed. Prices can be a bit high but the product is worth it.

It is really neat so many wines, cheese and snacks to try. Along with great gifts ideas! Go to the restaurant its incredible!!

Great place to visit. Free wine tastings of very tasty wines. Additional non-alcoholic items for sale in the shop. Well worth the trip. :)

I'd like to thanks the staff who wear masks, and wash their hands.
Unfortunately some staff, one gentleman in particular who serves wine samples elects to Not wear a mask over his mouth or nose (instead it's just sort of weirdly placed under his jaw/neck in a sort of mocking way).

It's personal choice, I get it. But inappropriate for staff to serve food and wine to a bustling store. If staff refuse to wear a mask, fine whatever, but keep them busy with work in the back or in the field. please don't put them public facing and touching everyone's food. The amount of face touching between food touching was off putting and unprofessional.

Please consider safety as so many love ones are in danger. Be patriotic, protect other Americans.

Open for tasting. Great selection of wines and gifts. Very enjoyable stop.

The staff is all too friendly, the wine is tasty, and they have quite a selection of fairly inexpensive gifts and souvenirs. Check out Public House next door for a great selection of craft microbrews and outdoor games.

The winery is a Beautiful place... We actually parked there to eat our McDonald's breakfast. (Service was great!) After, going to the Travel Center's open air market... the only veggie vendor was very cool, and had some really good stuff! And the other vendor had frozen blackberries...Yuuummm!
So, back to St. JAMES WINERY! I had been there before... it's a fantastic place for wine tasting, wine buying, and they have the loveliest decanter sets that I have ever seen (fantastic gifting!) It is really worth the time to visit!
But, we not there at 8:30 in morning...and, of course, they weren't open....Now listen to this! I knew that these friendly folks even keep their parking lot as neat as a pin! Not a leaf or cigarette butt in sight! So, we pulled a there to watch the traffic while we ate... It was enjoyable! Even the grandkiddos
liked our choice!!!
Finally, gotta spread the news... on the same lot there's a place call Public Brewing House (I'm hoping that I am remember their name correctly!) It looked like it would be worth coming back to when they are open... Also, just so you know, they advised a family movie night (beer, pizza, and a movie!) There are two left... one was August 27, Stars Wars movie about finding Luke Skywalker (now remember this old lady is doing this from memory!) The second, and lastly, is September 22? That movie is Grease!!
It was an awesome day out!

The tour and wine tasting session are both worth the trip!

Very helpful and friendly. Their wine is excellent.

Tastings are $5 for a flight of 5 tastings. We are pretty familiar with the brand so we skipped that. Nice selection and gift options.

They have good food but it take them forever to get the food out and it wasn't even our food! We had to wait another hour for our food to actually come to us!

If you are looking for a place that has top tier food, service, wine selections and a classy environment St.James Winery is unmatched by any restaurant in Branson, MO. The staff was incredible and the service was impeccable. I highly suggest the Blackberry Blueberry sweet wine. Also, if you want a great wrap try the dagwood and the brick oven pizza was terrific. My family couldn't be happier with our experience and plan to enjoy many more at this establishment. Well done St.James Winery. For being open less than a month, you have definitely made your foot print in Branson, MO for being a premier dining location. Very happy customer!

You get 6 free wine tasting samples. Wine is very reasonably priced. They are the largest wine producer in Missouri, according to the guide on the tour.

Very tasty & refreshing wines! I like each one I've sampled. But Velvet Red sweet red is my favorite!

This winery is amazing. The wine tasting is so much fun. My husband and I love coming here. Velvet Red is the best sweet wine ever!

Stopped by the tasting room on my way from Fort Leonard Wood and bought a bottle of the 2017 Late Harvest Chardonel - a pleasant white desert wine. Employees were friendly and helpful. Will stop by if I am in the area again.

I love it here at St. James Winery! The staff is super nice. They have a wide selection of wine. There's something for everyone here to enjoy!

Before we even walked in the door, one of the employees came out to help us with my dad being in a wheelchair. He asked us if we were sitting inside or out. He guided us into the wine garden to a table and quickly brought us waters. Our appetizers came out quick and was delicious. Wait staff came by often before we even had our meals. Our meals came out shortly after we finished our appetizers. Food was great, so good!!! Again staff checked on us often. When the Weather started to get bad, the staff came out let us know the plan to help get my dad inside but we were full and ready to go. One of the staff carried the six packs we bought to our car along with the bill. Another one brought us a bag for our leftovers to the car. All in all, it was a great experience.

The staff was both courteous and knowledgeable. We enjoyed being able to sample a flight of their wines without being "hovered" over yet questions could be answered quickly and accurately. Great experience!

For a winery they had no tasting, no wines really displayed. We ate their food and it was good. I had pulled pork and it was very tender and very moist. My husband had the southern burger and it was very good as well. Service could have been a lot better, they didn't come back to see if we needed anything else. We had to go to the check out to get a take home box and our receipt.

The James Winery is a beautiful place. The attendance of the employers are exceptional.I feel like in home.I love St James Missouri's.

This Winery is amazing! Being that I am from California right out side of Napa herself, I had high standards and high expectations. This place met all of them and then some. One thing I love about Missouri is that it's a very homely place with people who are most times very friendly and would help you out in anyway they can.

St James Winery was warm and welcoming. They gave us time to sort of look around before helping us and when we were ready they explained the tasting and how it works. At no cost, you get 6 tastes of any of the wines on the tasting menu. They have a little something for everyone on the menu so you're sure to find the one you've been looking for your whole life.

After the tasting we did a tour and learned quite a bit of American history through the journey this family owned Winery went through to get to where they are today. I really loved meeting the scientists behind the flavors and learning about how committed they are to producing high quality. No wonder their wines have won so many awards (which you can see hanging on each award winning bottle on the display shelf).

We selected a couple of our favorites and of course some apple butter (who can resist that) and headed over to the Public House right next door to try out the watermelon flavored logger home fries and took home the troute fritter which were all stellar.

Today was our Anniversary and we had an amazing time, even the gardeners were very friendly and seemed to really enjoy being there. The Garden was a perfect place to have a light meal together and enjoy the couple of bees minding their own business pollinating flowers lol

Anyway, to top things off, the pricing on the wine was very affordable and much more budget friendly than I was used to in Napa or at a local store, it was so worth the 1 hour drive each way.

Please go and try it out for yourself and let me know what your experience was like.

I come from Texas wine country and have visited many a vineyard here and while traveling. The customer service received at St. James winery was more than excellent.

I described the wines I liked and had found at other places in my travels and they checked off a few on the tasting list for me to try. The employee helping me was not only overly accommodating but super friendly. I stood at the counter having a conversation for about 20 minutes. I had originally planned to pop in and out on my way thru town, but was having such a good time conversing and tasting wines I ended up being in the store about an hour.

I tried many of the sweet wines, and some of the seasonal wines they were offering, and found a few I liked, they even mixed a blend of 2 for me, to try and come close to a wine I had found elsewhere.

I ended up leaving with a few bottles including their seasonal mango wine which I purchased for a friend of mine. Overall it was a great experience. I would definitely recommend stopping in while passing by. Excellent customer service..

They really have the right idea. Everything from wine to grape juice for the tasting. Our sommelier was super. She made recommendations for each of us based on our individual tastes. The tasting room is spacious with opportunity to look around and explore produce before you get started. I moved to MO recently and plan to take all my guests here for a great MO Wine experience

Stopped here on the way back to Wisconsin. Friendly staff and great wine! A must try.

Tasted 12 different types of wine for free. Very good prices, very fun place

Nice selection of wines and cheeses. Lots of wine accessories. Try the wines at theit test tasting bar. Everyone is really nice and very help...

Exceptionally professional and knowledgeable staff. We'd heard great things about the fruit wines, and based on our tasting they suggested a wine that was exactly what we wanted. The most surprising part was that the wine they suggested was the least expensive. We didn't get a sales push for the most expensive bottle... We got a knowledgeable person who pointed us to a great taste. We left with five bottles for about $40. Great price, great people. We'll be back!

The staff is very friendly and helpful, and I love the taste tests. Reasonably priced as well!! Their Cranberry wine is AWESOME!!!

Beautiful and professional atmosphere with a friendly staff ready to help. Wine tasting before you buy. Lots of other homemade and local products to buy.

We visited there last summer. So enjoyed our tasting, plus the outside patio - they have lots of fun games to keep you interested. The four of us played Uno while enjoying our wines. I bought bottles to take home and they made sure that they were packed very well. When I got back home, I got online and ordered my resupply. This is the 3rd time I've ordered online from them. Unfortunately, on the last reorder, they missed one of my bottles. I email them and within less than 2 hours, more than corrected their mistake - and already had it shipped.

Do anyone notice lately that blackberry wine color changed. (lighter) That it looks more water down. It not so much at the winery (IDK) but at stores that sell that wine.

Friendly service and pretty native wildflowers outside of facility. Clean and bright.

Great and informative staff. If you're over 21 it's worth stopping.

The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. Nice place, great wines and nice prices.

Great atmosphere, prices and people!! We will definitely be back.

This place is great. The grounds are always nice, and it's right off the highway which is nice. As you can pick up what you want, and get right back on the road. They have a various selection of wine which makes it easy for both my wife, and myself to find wines that each of us enjoy.

I came here with a group of friends for a wine tasting. Laura and the rest of the staff were very helpful and knowledgeable about the different types of wine. The wine tasting was free and even though I'm not crazy about wine, it was interesting to try six different wines and learn what I liked more. I would definitely recommend you stop in if you're in the area.

Great wines. Great service. Very friendly staff. Food, snacks, gifts. Very nice place.

I will say that the food is wonderful. I ate the pep pizza and it was so good. Everyone in our party loved the food they ate. The wine tasting was great Sarah was great as well. She put up with all of my many questions. As for charging for the tasting they do not charge at all. We were there after they were only open for 2 days I think. They ran like a well oiled machine. I was impressed

Good prices. Not too busy, but Must have been short staffed when we visited as took a while for greeting and for someone to help us at the register. Great wine and prices. Will be back in the future.

St. Jsmes Winery
Let me first say, your blackberry has been my ultimate favorite... for several years.
But what did you do to it!? Add water??
So disappointed!
Color (much lighter), taste doesn't resemble blackberry and although alcohol content shows the same on the label, it's not the same either.
Please bring back the original recipe!! This new stuff is terrible.

I just want to say Shay is a ROCKSTAR!!! I sent a Sweet Trio Box to my mom for Mother s Day, a bottle showed up broken. Shay took care of us no hassle, no questions asked. As always St. Jame s Winery with superb customer service! Thank you Shay!

Great place, very nice fruity wines, and a great staff!

Very disappointed in St. James Winery. They are my favorite wines and I was so happy when they started a wine club a few years ago. I signed up for the Adventure club. I live in St. Louis and can't pick up my 1st quarter wines in the 1st quarter. Never was a problem in the past to pick them up in 2nd quarter with the 2nd quarter wines until today. The staff was not willing to help or even look into the issue. I have a hard time understanding why they wouldn't want to help so that I can keep purchasing their wine and to be a part of their wine club. I was told once I'm out I'm out and no one in customer service was there to look me up. Umm...aren't you in customer service? Time to look for another favorite wine and one that wants me as a loyal customer.

I love the wine..however the customer service in the winery is horrible. We stopped Tonite on our way back from st. Louis to shop ..taste and buy! We were 35 ladies who asked our bus driver to make the stop. 10 of us went to the taste bar. The people behind the taste bar ignored some of our ladies and were rude while one guy made some nasty comments to our driver. This was so uncalled for and I have never been so embarrassed as I'm fairly local. I can honestly say I will never go back. You say buses welcome...that's not true!

Three of us with different wine tastes went & had the flights. Left without buying any.
