This weekend! Jones Winery will host the second Best of Connecticut weekend. The event will take place on Saturday, September 24th and Sunday, September 25th from 1pm – 5pm in the Jones Winery courtyard at 606 Walnut Tree Hill Road, Shelton. Come and sample the best food and drink in the state from 5 Shelton businesses.

Guests will be able to sample and purchase the items that have made these businesses ‘the best’.

Jones winemaker Larry McCulloch will host talks in the Jones Demonstration Vineyard (talks are at 2pm on both days). Also, a Farm Heritage Hike will be offered at 1pm (Saturday only) that will take guests on a lovely walk through the history and beauty of Jones Family Farms’ fields.
