Our Story
Jones von Drehle Vineyards & Winery is a family-owned estate nestled in Thurmond, North Carolina. Founded by in-laws Chuck and Diana Jones alongside Ronnie and Raymond von Drehle, the winery began with a shared vision—to create exceptional wines in the heart of their home state.
That vision took root in 2007, when they discovered the perfect stretch of land beneath the Blue Ridge Mountain skies. What began as an idea quickly grew into something much more—a place where family, craftsmanship, and the land itself come together in every bottle.
An Estate Approach
As a true estate winery, every wine we produce comes exclusively from the 30 acres of vines we farm right here on our property. Each varietal is thoughtfully planted in the location best suited to its character—because we believe great wine is made long before it reaches the glass.
The Real Boss
Chloe was the heart and soul of Jones von Drehle for over 14 years. A true local celebrity, she welcomed guests, supervised daily operations, and made sure no one took themselves too seriously.
She ran these hills as the vines were planted and played in the mud while “Chloe Hall” was built. Her spirit remains part of everything we do—and every guest we welcome.
