Corporate Sponsorship Opportunities
Festival Season 2008

The Garden State Wine Growers Association, a member organization at present comprised of 26 New Jersey vineyard owners, winemakers and wineries has been hosting state-wide wine festivals since 1985. Today, these festivals draw more than 20,000 wine lovers, food aficionados, tourists, shoppers, music lovers and adults who love to relax and enjoy outdoor activities with their families and friends.

The GSWGA hosts 5 festivals between Memorial Day and mid-October around the state. Advertising and promotion for the entire festival season is significant, covering all media in the New Jersey, New York, Delaware and Pennsylvania area. Attendees tend to match national demographics for wine consumers, which is a target age and income audience for most businesses.
