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.

Photographs taken with Sony Nex 7, 10-18 f4 wide angle zoom or Zeis 50 f1.8.
