Harvesting Grapes

Tina Jones knows all about 'Harvesting'  .... the intricacies of harvesting grapes that is... which are the best grapes, the most flavourful, how they in turn create the best wines around the world. She's also a keen business woman and a very active part in many Winnipeg events, one of the leaders in our community.

We are thrilled to announce that Tina Jones of BANVILLE AND JONES, is the latest addition to our charity Winnipeg Harvest event on APRIL 29, 2016. She has gone over and above to make an effort to help us out and will be providing the wine selections for the event along with the help of her amazing staff. Tina's expertise in planning events will be so welcomed, we feel very fortunate indeed, in having her on board.  Thanks Tina!

I love success stories. Tina Jones is one of them. If you ever have the chance to say hello to this dynamo, do, she's amazing. She is also the Jones behind everything fabulous in BANVILLE AND JONES.

​"Tina has overseen the growth of Banville and Jones, into the largest private wine store and destination wine school in the province. Tina has created the environment for wine education to meet the highest international standards, making it possible for her staff to pursue studies in wine, including with Banville & Jones Wine Institute, the Wine and Spirit Education Trust, the Canadian Association of Professional Sommeliers, the French Wine Society and Court of Master Sommeliers. She has brought chefs together with wine lovers and food lovers to create exciting private and charity events in the province. Her work has raised the bar in the hospitality industry and for the Sommelier profession."

​​I am always impressed by those that are diverse in their business and Tina is that, she has created a unique business in which she not only has a top notch wine store, but also a magazine called, "The Cellar Door". It's a beautiful publication that focuses on wines from around the world and shares an experience beyond just buying bottle of wine. The ambiance of the wine store is something all in itself, the details of the interior design is spectacular ... it feels like you are inside a winery ... and it's down the street from me. It doesn't really get better than that.

​We look forward to working with Tina on this project and welcome her aboard the "harvesting hope" team.
