Rune Wines

Cool and unique, laid back with a campsite feel and an awesome view. Liked their wines with exception of only one, their Rosé. Picked up a bottle of their Wild Syrah and the price was reasonable. Was referred to our next winery and their suggested wine was spot on! Rating it 5 stars because it has much potential when their permanent tasting room is finished.

With the addition of Rune Wines by James Callahan, the quality, the story and the experience of skillful craftsmanship in Arizona wines deepen. His initial release under Rune Wines includes a Viognier, Chardonnay, Rose, Grenache, Classic Syrah and a Wild Syrah. Each an excellent testament to the careful crafting and dedication of the winemaker. My personal favorite is the Wild Syrah with its robust and lush taste, and am charmed by how each element unfolds across the palate.
In addition to the great craftsmanship within the bottle, the labels elevate the story of the wine and Rune Wines all together. The strong, engaging visuals and storytelling captivate your attention, and along with the wine, you’re left lusting about how the next chapter will unfold — no doubt we’ll all be just as spellbound.
Finally, and yet the first thing you’ll notice when you arrive at Rune Wines is the unprecedented, breathtaking and unique tasting room. Callahan doesn’t do things the typical way, and has mastered the ability to pull the details together to enhance the experience by offering an outdoor tasting venue under a canopy, surrounded by sweeping and unobstructed 360 views of the Sonoita region.
Make sure you visit Rune Wines, it’s well worth it.

First visit to Rune Winery and loved it from the minute we arrived.
Set in Rain Valley in Elgin James, the owner and wine maker, has provided the most beautiful and relaxing tasting experience. We arrived mid afternoon on a cloudy day with our dogs in tow to find several other tasters enjoying their wine and conversation. James was welcoming and we started our tastings. His wines were wonderful! The tasting included 6 white and red wines never having to get out of our seats as James was happy to bring the next wine to us .
One of my favorites was the 2013 Wild Syrah.
Can’t wait to go back !!! Absolutely beautiful spot and great wine !

The best wines we had all day. A must stop winery in Sonoita! Service was excellent. We really enjoyed outdoor atmosphere and host!
