Jones Winery & Vineyard is one of the oldest and smallest wineries in Rutherglen, on Jones Road, where vines have been tended since 1860 and the family's traditions of grape growing, winemaking and cooking have continued for six generations. Brother and sister Arthur and Mandy Jones took over from their uncle Les Jones in 1998, and Arthur's son Benjamin joined them in 2023.
The wines come only from the estate's 10.1 hectares of dry-grown vines: Rutherglen specialties Durif, Shiraz and Muscat, along with Fiano, Marsanne, Roussanne and Malbec. Mandy brings 14 years' winemaking experience in Bordeaux, including as winemaker at Château Carsin, and the younger generation is experimenting with natural winemaking techniques. The vineyard and winery are certified under Sustainable Winegrowing Australia.
Visitors can taste at the heritage cellar door, dine, picnic in the grounds, browse the garden sculpture gallery, or stay in the Jones Tiny House overlooking the vines. The property also raises Murray Grey cattle.
