Inspired by the ancient Greek hero Jason and his mentor Chiron, the vineyard’s name reflects a deep connection to heritage and knowledge.

This legacy of medical and viticultural insight shaped the vineyard’s founding principles. Jason’s Vineyard is recognized for pioneering dense vine spacing on the North Fork, a technique distinct from traditional planting methods in the region.
