6 Best Wineries near Ringoes

“Unionville Vineyards is an exceptional winery providing an expansive range of experiences that cater to a broad audience. As long-standing wine club members and neighbors of Unionville, my husband and I typically stop by for a glass of wine every week. We often meet up with other neighbors who are also weekly visitors. The staff is always aware of our individual preferences in wine varieties and shows a genuine interest in our time in the tasting room. Whether you are greeted by John, Terese, Bianca, Andy, Sage, or another tasting room member, the environment that Unionville has created to enable these intimate gatherings resonates a small town feeling and neighborhood camaraderie that is rare these days and truly consistent with the long-standing culture and traditions of the Ringoes community.

Over the years, we have also had the opportunity to invite friends and colleagues unfamiliar with Unionville to the winery for guided tastings. The experience that the tasting room staff has provided for our guests in combination with the exceptional quality of the wines available have always exceeded their expectations. In fact, all of our invited guests over the years have become long-term customers of Unionville. Moreover, my husband has gifted wines to colleagues throughout the United States and Asia, and he has always received phenomenal feedback on the wines and requests for more bottles!

We have also enjoyed the more formal side of Unionville through their public and private events. We have attended many catered brunches, lobster bakes, oyster fests, dinners, and wine releases over the years. The exceptional combination of live music, delicious food, and remarkable wines produced by Unionville at these events is unmatched. Moreover, Unionville Vineyards has deep historical ties to the American Revolution, and their efforts to weave this truly unique history into their wine collection is commendable.

Finally, as a farm owner, it is extremely important to my family to purchase locally grown products when possible. Unionville is one of the only wineries in New Jersey that produces all of its wines from New Jersey grown grapes, which is truly exceptional given the sheer quantity of wines that they produce each year. I have seen firsthand (from our neighboring farm) the countless hours that the vineyard staff spend in the fields, tirelessly working to ensure that they achieve the best wine production in the Garden State. If you are looking for New Jersey grown wines that are produced with the utmost care and dedication (and arguably the best tasting as well!), I highly recommend Unionville Vineyards without hesitation.“

“My friends and I love this place. Very good ambiance and wine is great, too. I do wish they had a larger variety of red wine. The prices for the reds are a little too steep. If I was their management I would either lower the prices on the reds or add another one or two good reds with a lower price sticker. As someone who goes to wineries and enjoys wine, I know that 44 and 46 dollars for a bottle of wine, even if at a winery, is too steep.“

“My husband and I took our 8 year old grandson to listen to Rupert and Sheetz play at the vineyard last evening. We were not disappointed. The music was great, reconnecting with old friends wonderful and I have to say the pizza was much better than what we experienced in Tuscany 2 weeks ago. Thank you Hopewell Valley Vineyard!!!“

“We had a really nice lunch at the new hope winery! The food was delicious and the outdoor seating is really nice! there was a live band that was the perfect volume - not so loud that you couldn't talk to the person next to you, but loud enough to enjoy them.“

“Went for a wedding. Gorgeous grounds! The service amaxing!“

“My friend and I used a Groupon on an extremely rainy day. We had a great experience and tasted a lot of delicious wines. Tyler was friendly, knowledgeable, and gave great pairing ideas for the wines. The spiked butter beer is delicious and a must have! Can't wait to go back again soon for more!“
