Jones of Washington is a family owned and
operated winery that is committed to small-batch artisanal wines
crafted with all the love and attention that people who are closely
tied to the land can make. Over fifty years of farming experience in
the Columbia basin has led to the breaking of new ground and the
diversification of crops for the Jones Family. Since 1949 when the
Columbia Basin Project began, the Jones Family started growing and
packing potatoes in Winchester, Washington. From this, the venture
has grown into the production of many different farm crops. Reaping
and suffering has brought much knowledge of the land in this extreme
business. In 1997, the first Jones Vineyards were planted on the
Wahluke slope. In 2001, an interest in wine along with some
un-contracted grapes propelled Jack into getting a winery license
and selling the grapes as wine himself. This led to the beginning of
Jack Jones Winery and the Jones of Washington brands. Jack Jones
started planting wine grapes on the Wahluke Slope in 1997 and is the
owner while Greg Jones (his son) oversees the operation.
