Overview
On Jones Road in Rutherglen, the Jones family has been growing grapes, making wine and welcoming visitors for six generations. Vines have been nurtured on the property since 1860, and today siblings Arthur and Mandy Jones, together with Arthur's son Ben, continue the family tradition. The estate is known for Rutherglen classics including Durif, Shiraz and Muscat, alongside alternative varieties such as Fiano and Marsanne, all grown on the property.
The wines are contemporary, expressive and built to age. The flagship L.J. wine comes from vines planted in 1905, while Ben Jones' Six Generations range reflects the family's commitment to innovation and quality. Arthur manages the vineyards and Murray Grey cattle, while Mandy and Ben craft wines that capture the character of the region. In the kitchen, Briony Bradford creates modern French bistro-inspired dishes with menus shaped by seasonal produce.
Visitors can enjoy tastings at the heritage cellar door, dine at the restaurant, picnic in the gardens, browse the sculpture gallery, or stay in the Jones Tiny House overlooking the vineyard.
Cyclists are warmly welcomed and will find bike racks, water refill facilities and a comfortable place to pause and recharge. Conveniently located on the Rutherglen Town Bike Loop and home to the Rutherglen Gourmet Amble experience, it is a great place to pause when exploring Rutherglen's renowned food and wine culture by bike.
