Garden State Wine & Chocolate Wine Trail @ New Jersey wineries, NJ

Start: Feb 10 2007 End: Feb 11 2007

Looking for something different to do this Valentine's Day? How about sampling award-winning wines paired with exquisite chocolate at romantic wineries throughout the State? To help you celebrate Valentine's Day, New Jersey wineries will be holding a Wine & Chocolate Wine Trail Weekend.

Event specifics/URL

The weekend will offer visitors a chance to learn more about wine, wine tasting, and wine making; as well as the opportunity to stock up on award-winning wines.

*4JGs Winery not participating.

New Jersey’s wineries are located in some of the most beautiful areas of the state. In addition to gorgeous scenery, the wineries themselves are lovely as well - many in old stone buildings or converted dairy barns. Add to this acres and acres of grapes 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 detail directions (which can be printed out) from one winery to the next, can be found on the Garden State Wine Growers Association's website. Just click on Wine Trails in the left hand menu.

Alternative dates if inclement weather: February 17-18, 2007
