Jones Winery Restaurant
Laidback, with a focus on French technique.

One of Rutherglen’s oldest and smallest wineries might lack the architectural wow factor of some neighbours, but it makes up for it in charm. Arrive early for a wine tasting in the rustic bark-roofed bar, then pull up a tapestry-covered chair at an antique table for a relaxed lunch served by attentive staff.
French provincial dishes meet 21st-century principles of zero waste and local sourcing in chef Briony Bradford’s generous two-and three-course menus. Fork-tender goat raised six kilometres away shines on a plate busy with pumpkin, pear and olive. Purple and golden beetroot from the kitchen garden rests on zingy horseradish veloute.
In a clever update to an old favourite, a sweet-savoury lime and cinnamon eclair hides a subtle earthiness from roasted parsnip. In a rush? There’s a casual cellar door menu, or prebook a picnic hamper.
