Best of Connecticut 2012 Guide

We admit it: We think there’s something awfully appealing about a farm whose home page leads with “be good to the land and the land will be good to you.” So, the Jones Family Farm had us at hello. But our affection has only grown (along with the succulent grapes on its slopes), as we’ve come to enjoy the fruits of those vines. The list is modest; we recommend you try them all if you can. Failing that, be sure to sample the Stonewall Chardonnay and Cabernet Franc. And don’t miss the classes, workshops and dinners scheduled at the Shelton winery now through fall.
