Co-owner & Director
Nicole Samodol
Nicole is the driving force behind the Rowlee vision — a wine entrepreneur who traded a corporate career in strategy and business transformation for a paddock in Nashdale and never looked back. Since co-founding the label with James, she has built Rowlee into one of New South Wales' most recognised wine tourism destinations, winning accolades not just for the wines but for the standard of experience she has set at the cellar door. Nicole holds an MBA and is a graduate of the Australian Institute of Company Directors, and serves as a Vice President of NSW Wines, though at Rowlee, you're just as likely to find her pouring at a Sunday Session or refining what the next visitor experience should feel like.
