About the Jones Winery (from their website):

Nestled in the beautiful White Hills of Shelton, Connecticut, lies one of the state’s premier wineries. The balance of rich soil, southwestern-facing slopes, and an experienced 6th generation farmer working the land, combine to make Jones Winery a true treasure for all Connecticut residents and visitors to cherish and enjoy.

Connecticut Magazine in 2010 and in 2011 named the Jones Winery to have the Best Connecticut Wine! Everyone at the farm and winery is proud of the award.

A Small Tale…

When people ask me which of my wines is my favorite, I say that they are like my children and I love them all. – Jamie Jones, winemaker

My Favorite Jones Wine:

Jamie Jones may not be able to pick a favorite wine, but I definitely have one!

Harvest Time is my absolute favorite, a white apple pear wine made with apples and pears grown in CT. A little sweet, but not too sweet, and unlike any other wine I’ve ever had.

My 2nd favorite is Dawn’s First Blush, very similar to Harvest Time but with the addition of Black Currants. Delicious!

In addition to AmberTortoise’s jewelry and wine charms, you will find pottery, soaps and candles, many wonderful food products such as locally made honey and jam, and so much more.

You will also find beautiful terrariums along the windows and scattered around the gift shop. They are new this year and one of my favorite items!
