This event is brought to us by the Garden State Wine Growers Association. Visit http://www.newjerseywines.com to learn more about New Jersey Wine Festivals and other NJ wineries.
I think this would be a great place for us SJ food bloggers to get together. What do you think?
Great Idea, John. I could probably do the 8th but not the 9th. Might need to bring my boys with me (ages 7 & 10)
Robin,
Thanks for posting our event. We greatly appreciate it! No problem if you bring the boys. We have some kid entertainment like peach-picking and a petting zoo, plus there is no admission fee for children. Hope to see you there.
Cheers!
These events are so fun. Its an annual tradition to go to Valenzano Winery’s WineFest in September. They throw the best party and their grounds are breathtaking. Nothing better than picnicking in the vineyard and sipping wine with friends while listening to a live concert. I’m glad to see more events in South Jersey. I’ll check this one out but the fest at VAlenzanos is hard to beat.
Charlene,
I’ll have to keep that festival in mind. The really terrible part about starting this blog is now I know how much I’m missing. I can’t possibly go to all of the events I’m writing about, but I want to go to each and every one of them.
Tell me about it!
