Wine just may be your favorite ‘after-bedtime’ beverage of choice, so why not see for yourself how it stacks up when it’s made here at home in New Jersey compared to wines of the world? We bet you didn’t know that New Jersey has a rich tradition in winemaking (at one time, yielded over 100 small wineries pre-Prohibition!): With sandy, deep soil, mild winters and a long growing season, turns out our home state has the perfect grape-growing conditions to make exemplary wines that are right up there in the ranks of Tuscany and Napa Valley. In fact, South Jersey’s Outer Coastal Plain has the same climate and soil as the Bordeaux region in France – which makes for world-class wines that are affordable and close to home. Luckily for us, there are over 50 wineries in the Garden State – some use old-school winemaking techniques vs. modern technology; some pick grapes by hand vs. harvester machines to clear the vines, but all are producing award-winning vino.

It’s always 5 o’clock somewhere.

Whether you come by train, ferry boat, or car, New Jersey wineries are located in every section of the state. From the northern mountains of Sussex County to the Warren Hills in the west, across the rolling hills of Hunterdon County down to Gloucester and Salem Counties, and to the tip of the state into Atlantic and Cape May Counties, over 50 wineries now shape the landscape of the Garden State. There’s guaranteed to be a winery within driving distance of your location! Go explore the wine trails in each region of our state.

Sip, swirl and sniff away on a fun day trip to a New Jersey winery.
