Celebrate the return of autumn by sampling the award-winning tastes found in New Jersey Wine Country

Throughout the New Jersey, more than 55 wineries (a number that grows every year) produce wines from their vineyards, part of the more than 1,500 acres of wine-producing vines throughout the four American Viticultural Areas that fill the state.

Explore New Jersey Wine Country, one of the emerging premier wine regions in the United States. Visit winery tasting rooms and enjoy events throughout the Garden State while enjoying wines you’re sure to love. New Jersey has over 60 wineries growing and producing nationally and internationally acclaimed fine wines on more than 1,500 acres of vineyards across the state —  including four thriving American Viticultural Areas (AVAs): Warren Hills, Central Delaware Valley, Outer Coastal Plain, and Cape May Peninsula. Each cultivates individual experiences enhanced by distinct, award-winning varietal blends, eagerly welcoming visitors to see where and how their award-winning wines are produced. Guests can enjoy wine flights, casual fare, live music, seasonal festivals, and stunning sunsets over the vines from indoor/outdoor tasting room spaces.

New Jersey certainly earns its Garden State nickname. A quick drive through the state is sure to include sightings of farm after farm producing the Jersey Fresh produce for which the state is known. Look closer and you’ll spot vineyards and wineries among these farms — a major industry driving national attention — and visitors — to New Jersey every year, to the tune of more than $323 million in tourism spending.
