Tasting Room Hours:
From June through November, the winery hours are Thursday through Sunday, 11 am to 5pm. (Check back in the late fall to learn about our extended, 7 days a week schedule in December.)
Jones offers a 400 acre working farm that encompasses vineyards, strawberry, blueberry, and pumpkin fields amongst other things. It’s nestled in rolling hills and presents a serene country setting. Year round you can enjoy their wine tasting room where you can sample up to (7) different types of wine for $7.95 (at time of writing). They also have various offerings of cheese and crackers. That’s kind a of must isn’t it?
The winter is busy with Xmass tree’s. The fall is active with pumpkins patches & hayrides. When in season come and pick your own blueberries and strawberries. One of the owners is a chef and dietician. As a result they offer Harvest Kitchen on site where you can take wine and cooking classes.
I guess I’m showing my age but I just enjoy places that bring me a sense of peace and tranquility. I felt that here as I wondered around the grounds unencumbered snapping photo’s. If you’re from Shelton you already know of this place. If you’re not, it’s a hidden gem that you’ll want to put on your “must visit” list.
