The singer-songwriter, now part-owner of a wine estate in southern France, talks about debuting This Life wines ahead of her Visions tour

Norah Jones knows that lots of celebrities get into the wine business. She just never imagined she would be one of them. “It would have never occurred to me to do something like this,”shares the American singer-songwriter, who has sold over 53 million albums since her 2002breakout,
Come Away With Me.

Just days before leaving for her summer Visions tour of Europe—based on her ninth studio album, for which she was awarded a Grammy earlier this year—Jones, 46, launched her newline of This Life wines. (The wines are named after a song on Jones’ 2020 album, Pick Me Up Off the Floor.) This Life is a partnership with Maison Wessman, a winery located in Bergerac, in Southwest France, in which Jones is now a part-owner.

“Sometimes you get tapped on the shoulder to do something interesting. Wine is a whole new world for me, and it’s really fun to do something different,” Jones explains, adding that it all began with a bottle of rosé.
