James Estate historical home is nestled into a pocket of the Upper Hunter Valley, which is approximately 3.5hrs drive from Sydney, set on a rise that takes in jaw-dropping views of Goulburn River and Wollemi National Parks.

This area has great natural beauty with fertile valleys nestled between sandstone cliffs and the valleys broaden into undulating hillsides and alluvial flats that provide the basis for premium viticulture.

It’s a terrific setting for a winery and cellar door surrounded by the 200-plus acres of estate vineyards.

Our vines are hand pruned yearly and each vine is pruned to achieve its optimal growing capabilities. At James Estate it’s about the quality, not volume.
