New Jersey now has 30+ award-winning wineries located in 10 counties. The wineries are located in some of the most beautiful areas of the state and produce wines that win prestigious international and national medals. To make it easier for people to explore New Jersey wineries, the Garden State Wine Growers Association introduced New Jersey Wine Trails that provide information and directions for day trips to several wineries. Now, the Association has taken this a step further and introduced the "New Jersey Wine Country Passport."

The Wine Country Passport helps visitors explore New Jersey wineries by providing a map, addresses and phone numbers for the State's wineries. Visitors simply take the Passport to each winery they visit and have it stamped. Once the Passport is fully stamped, it is mailed back to the Garden State Wine Growers Association. The Association then mails a gift to everyone who has sent in a completed Passport.

The 2006 Wine Country Passport gift was a set of crystal Riedel tasting glasses.
($100 Value)

The New Jersey Wine Country Passport can be picked up at participating wineries and at Garden State Wine Growers Association events.
