There’s a Winery On This Beautiful Farm In New Jersey And You Have To Visit

In 1981, only 7 wineries existed in New Jersey. At the time, our state had a law which limited winery licenses to 1 per 1 million residents. It was a dark time. (Not really.) That law was overturned and just a few years later, the number of wineries in New Jersey doubled. Now, we have dozens of incredible wineries in the Garden State. One of the newest is Summit City Winery.

We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures! And on that note, please nominate your favorite local business that could use some love right now: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nominate/
First established as Boulevard Orchards in 1922, Summit Farms opened a winery in 2014.

Bring the kids for pony rides or special pony parties which include pony and tractor/wagon rides plus pony painting and a private party room.

Their wine and music events are wonderful ways to spend a weekend evening and I’d definitely recommend a visit. You’ll find Summit Farms & Winery at: 500 University Boulevard in Glassboro. For more New Jersey wineries, check out this wonderful Garden State wine trail.
