It’s your favorite beverage of all time, so why not see for yourself how this nectar of the earth is made? New Jersey is home to just under fifty wineries, all of which feature picturesque landscapes and exceptional service that leaves guests feeling indulged and relaxed. Winery tours usually include a guided walk through the vineyard and facilities, information sessions that teach wine lovers how the product transitions from grapes to the glass, and an exclusive tasting to conclude the tour. Special perks can be found at certain wineries – fruit and cheese platters to complement your wine samples, souvenir wine glasses to take home, or even a taste of a not-yet-released bottle. Looking to cut straight to the chase? Tasting Rooms are a fun way to try a variety of blends that you may have never seen on the shelves of your local liquor store. Every winery may have a slightly different way of doing things; Cava Winery & Vineyard in Hamburg offers “flights” of four samples and a bistro menu, while Unionville Vineyards in Ringoes offers group tastings with a designated attendant. As a generality, smaller, family operated vineyards offer a more intimate, warmer experience, while larger vineyards may feature larger selections and a more ornate atmosphere. Before your visit, find your local winery on the web to check if tours and tastings require appointments, or if walk-ins are accepted. Cheers!
