New Jersey's wineries are located in some of the most beautiful areas
of the state. In addition to the gorgeous scenery, the wineries
themselves are lovely as well -- many in old stone buildings or
converted dairy barns. Add to this the acres and acres of grape vines
planted on sunny hills and, perhaps most important, great award-winning
wine tasting, and you have the makings for a great day trip.
To help visitors explore New Jersey wineries, the Garden State Wine
Growers Association has put together suggestions for New Jersey Wine
Trail day trips for each area of the state. The Trails, which include
in-depth information on each winery on the Trail and detailed directions
from one winery to the next, can be found on the Garden State Wine
Growers Association website www.newjerseywines.com. Just click on Wine
Trails in the left hand menu. Simply print out the directions and you
are ready to hit the Trails and learn more about wine.
If you love wine and love to travel, if you are looking for a fun day
trip or relaxing week-end getaway, check out the New Jersey Wine Trails
and then hit the trail! As always, New Jersey wineries urge you to
drink and drive responsibility, or better yet, use a designated driver
to make sure everyone has a fun, safe trip.
