14 of New Jersey's Favorite Wineries!

More wineries than ever before! 180+ locally produced wines from 14 of New Jersey's favorite wineries.  These local wineries can't wait to show off their new vintages. Award winning wines from some of our favorite neighbors and across the state of New Jersey. Sample wines of all styles. You are guaranteed to find your new favorite wine!


Featuring our new line of Jersey Devil Fortes! Valenzano Winery is developing a new line of naturally infused Port style wines with all natural ingredients. Test runs include our Jersey Devil Coffee Forte, Jersey Devil Chocolate Forte, and Jersey Devil Blueberry Forte. These wines are made from a base blend of estate grown Cynthiana and Chambourcin grapes which are fermented and then blended with other varietals and infused with all natural ingredients. Our new Chocolate Forte for example is infused with roasted cacao nibs. This is the bean used to produce milk and dark chocolate. These beans are placed in cheese cloth bags and submerged in natural grape spirits where the chocolate flavor is extracted. It is then infused into the base wine at a perfect ratio to provide a hint of dark chocolate notes. We welcome you to try this product along with our full selection of port style wines at WineFest NJ 2026!
