The outdoor festival season may be coming to a close, but it’s going out in epic style. Raise your glass and join the celebration as the 6th Annual Sip in Autumn Wine Festival returns to Veterans Park in Bayville, NJ, on Saturday, November 7, and Sunday, November 8, from 11:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. each day. This highly anticipated event is the grand finale of New Jersey’s outdoor wine festival season, and there’s no better way to say goodbye to sunny days and crisp fall afternoons than by savoring the very best our state has to offer.

Sip in Autumn transforms Veterans Park into a vibrant autumn marketplace where guests can wander from winery to winery, sampling an incredible selection of New Jersey wines. This year’s lineup showcases the artistry and passion of Angelico Winery, Chestnut Run Farm, DiMatteo Vineyards, Plagido’s Winery, Terra Nonno Winery, Valenzano Winery, Villari Vineyards, and Wagonhouse Winery. Each brings its own unique blends, from rich reds and crisp whites to limited seasonal offerings—perfect for stocking up for holiday celebrations, hostess gifts, or simply enjoying at home. Guests can even meet the winemakers and hear the stories behind each bottle, making this experience as personal as it is flavorful.

Of course, no farewell celebration is complete without exceptional food. Festivalgoers can indulge in handcrafted gourmet empanadas from Empanada Beast, fresh burrito, salad, and nacho bowls from Wholly Bowls, and delicious seafood specialties from Bowl Embrace Seafood. Together, they create the perfect complement to an afternoon of award-winning New Jersey wines and autumn festivities.

As glasses are raised and plates are shared, live music will keep the energy high all weekend long. On Saturday, festivalgoers can dance to the lively sounds of Rockit Fish, while on Sunday, local favorites Goldenseal will take the stage with their signature upbeat vibe.

Between tastings, guests can browse a thoughtfully curated marketplace of artisan crafters, each offering handmade treasures and seasonal specialties. Shop unique finds and gourmet goodies from local makers including Arigumis, Art of Olive Oil, Carols Crafts, Carolyn Smith, Chunky Blankets, Cynful Bliss, Double D’s Doggie Delights, Enchanted Crusts Cottage Bakery, Half a Chance Creations, Hangover Pretzel, Island Talk USA, Jerky James, Mimi’s by the Sea Gourmet Mixes, Pelican Soap, Shirley Sews, Shore Links Permanent Jewelry, and Totally Nutz. It’s the perfect opportunity to pick up fall décor, thoughtful holiday gifts, or a special treat just for yourself.

So, gather your friends and family, raise a glass, and help us send the outdoor festival season off in unforgettable style. With its blend of award-winning wines, delicious food, live music, and local craftsmanship, Sip in Autumn Wine Festival is the ultimate farewell to fall festival season and a toast to the cozy months ahead.
