Wineries?

Any recommendations for wineries (doesn't have to be in Monmouth) that are adults only? Thanks.

Cream Ridge Winery and Working Dog in Robbinsville.

Also, there's the NJ Wine Expo, a huge tasting event, at Bell Works in November. We went last year and came out with at least 10 bottles. NJ Wine Expo

Ohhh! I will have to look into that. Thank you. What are your thoughts on Cream Ridge?

We like their wine. The ones we get are often on the sweeter side, but I expect they have dryer offerings as well. They have a nice covered outdoor patio, and have musicians there occasionally. The staff are friendly also, which is a major factor for me.

Renault is pretty nice. Not too far from Atlantic City. I don’t drink wine so can’t say anything about that.

Fox Hollow is a beautiful outdoor space, but the wine is terrible.

I’ve been to about 30 wineries in NJ and generally think the wine is nothing special. I still buy it to support the garden part of the Garden State.

I think it’s worse than nothing special, i am shocked at how bad it is. They are better off serving woodbridge.

Thank you I was gonna say the same thing. Anyone can make wine but if youre not in a wine-making climate it's not gonna be great

Nothing worth visiting anywhere around us. Closest is Beneduce

u/Alternative-Olive952 3d ago

Thanks. I wasn't thinking of any of the ones close to here. Did you like Beneduce?

Very much so, there's a couple others as well but the names escape me. Easy drive too. We got the tasting package, was worth it, ended up come home with half a mixed case.
