Vallejo Cellars promotes local nonprofits through good wine
Kevin Jones produces 15 wines, with seven promoting and benefiting local organizations.
When you talk to Kevin Jones, the owner of Vallejo Cellars, two things become immediately clear: he’s passionate about winemaking and he loves Vallejo.
Jones uses the labels of seven of the 15 wines he produces to promote Vallejo nonprofit organizations, and he donates 20% of the sales proceeds to them.
He currently tends vines, buys grapes and rents production spaces in wineries located in Sonoma, Petaluma and other locations.
This year he also took on caring for the small Lighthouse Vineyard located in Glen Cove Marina, which is owned by a friend.
Jones hopes to eventually plant more vineyards in the surrounding steep slopes, with permission from the neighbors who own them.
Well-tended vineyards beautify the space, and he would be buying the grapes he produces, so everyone wins.
Jones’ support for Vallejo’s nonprofits and worthy businesses runs deep.
