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 5th Annual Sip in Autumn Wine Festival returns to Veterans Park in Bayville, NJ on Saturday, November 1, and Sunday, November 2, from 12 noon to 5 pm 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 array of local wines. This year’s lineup showcases the artistry and passion of Chestnut Run Farm, DiMatteo Vineyards, Plagido’s Winery, Salem Oak Vineyards, Terra Nonno Vineyards, Tomasello Winery, Valenzano Winery, Villari Vineyards, and Wagonhouse Winery. Each brings its own unique blends, from rich reds and bright whites to limited seasonal offerings—perfect for stocking up for holiday celebrations. Guests can even meet the winemakers themselves and learn the stories behind each sip, making this experience as personal as it is flavorful.

Of course, no farewell party is complete without food worth savoring. This year’s culinary offerings promise to delight, featuring the globally inspired flavors of Del Torro Tapas, the iconic handheld creations from Empanada Guy, soul food from Shugar Shack, and cozy sweet treats and seasonal drinks from Cinna-Bean Coffee Co. It’s the ideal pairing for an afternoon of sipping and strolling.

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 Right Turn at 40, and on Sunday, local favorites Goldenseal will take the stage with their signature upbeat vibe.

In between tastings, guests can browse a thoughtfully curated marketplace of artisan crafters, each bringing their own handmade treasures and seasonal specialties. Shop unique finds and gourmet goodies from local makers including Art of Olive Oil, Autumn & August, B. Baths, Bee Stamped, Carolyn Smith, Cynful Bliss, Double D’s Doggie Delights, Drunken Fruit, Jerky James, Katha Threadery, Mimi’s by the Sea Gourmet Mixes, Pink Pelican Soap, Shirley Sews, Spiritually Wired, Sweet Delights and Savory Bites, Sweet Stuff Bakery, The Hangover Pretzel Company, and The Kind Vine. It’s the perfect chance to pick up fall décor, thoughtful gifts, or a special treat just for yourself.

So, gather your friends and family, raise a glass, and help us send the outdoor season off in unforgettable fashion. With its blend of wine, food, music, and local craftsmanship, Sip in Autumn Wine Festival is the ultimate farewell —and a toast to the cozy months ahead.
