JonGrapevines & Figs Garden — Attraction in Sabah

Located just by the side of the road, this place is quite a revelation. Housed in 4+1 greenhouses are varieties of grape vines up to 5 years old. Cindy is the friendly and knowledgeable facilitator who provided the briefing on the pruning details to encourage flowering and fruiting of the grapes twice a year. Seems this grape venture is still on an experimental stage. Was told the next harvest is at November end this year 2025. Grapes will turn from sour to sweet when they are matured. Cindy rattled of the names of a few species. In summary, thanks to Cindy, it was a most educational 45 minutes tour. It was well worth my 30minutes drive excursion down to...

Spent the holiday at #jongrapevines @tamparuliheavenlygrapes which was just 40 minutes drive from Kota Kinabalu city area.

Great place to learn about growing grapes and figs in our very own home ground KK by listening to the lecture of Mr Jonitih (the man with the cowboy hat) and co. A lot of seedlings (bibit) for sale too, just need to make booking for buying these seedlings and be patient.

Fee to enter was reasonable. Even though it was a short walk around, but it was really a nice experience and truly proud for the efforts of the owners and the staff...

Accessible by car. Have their parking lot as well, limited though. But not a problem though. The owner and all the staffs are simply amazing. I personally, felt a positive energy, vibe upon entering. Trust me, the amount of money you spent here doesn’t worth it’s value. Because you paid that amount, yet the experience are way more, i would say, overwhelming. For that price. Some may see this overrated, but hey, eveyone has their own opinion too. So, i would say, good memories are expected and met, in this place. Thank you Tuan Jontih! Lain kali sy mau serbu masuk...
