The Traditionalist

JONES WINERY

Chatting to Mandy Jones, it is impossible to miss the passion she has for winemaking and the Rutherglen region. As one of the oldest and smallest of the region’s wineries, the beauty of Jones’ is its history and the families dedication to making excellent wine and creating a memorable Rutherglen experience. From an elegant Marsanne Roussanne blend to the French-style Correll, in honour of Mandy and brother Arthur’s mother, this is one Rutherglen winery not to be missed. Roses line the entraceway to cellar door and be prepared for a friendly greeting by the wineries canine residents. Chef Briony Bradford, who studied her craft in Paris, serves up some delicious fare with a focus on French cuisine and local produce. You can also stay onsite at a self-contained cottage that is perfectly located a bike ride from town. A $5M dollar redevelopment and invesntment into a bike wine trail in the region will make riding among the vines a real drawcard.
