GENERATIONS to come

At the heart of Jones Family Vineyards is a family. We work together as owners and operators sharing a vision of longevity, sustainability and prosperity for the vineyards, the land it inhabits and the community it supports. 

What began as a project between a father and his daughters evolved into a complete family affair. Even the grandchildren--Maddie, Lindsey, Georgia and Graham--play a role in the business, from assisting with inventory to checking on the vines while they play in the vineyard to ensuring there is branded “swag” for our family, friends and loyal customers. 

The Jones family

Rick Jones is at the heart of Jones Family Vineyards. He discovered and purchased our Calistoga Estate in 1993 after searching for an ideal piece of land to commence the next chapter of his life following a successful career as a grocery retail executive in San Francisco. He was drawn to the property not for the acres already planted to vine, but by the enchanting views overlooking the valley floor and the encompassing 100 acres of virgin forest that surrounds.  

Although the parcel came with vineyards, Rick had no intention of making wine from the property. He sold the grapes for the first few years until he tasted the wine made from our fruit and realized it was world-class and worthy of its own Estate brand. 

Together with his daughters Heather and Stephanie, Rick established Jones Family Vineyards in 1996 embarking on a 25-year journey that continues today as an Estate Vineyard, managed by Stephanie.

Ensuring the well being of the Napa Valley and all its residents is a strong value of the Jones Family as well. Rick and his wife Elaine support and serve on the boards of a number of nonprofit organizations that ensure access to education, health and well being for all Napa Valley community members. Our commitment to community is manifest in our work at the E. Richard Jones Foundation.
