Mark Your Calendar for the 2025 NJ Wine Expo

The inaugural NJ Wine Expo was such a success the first time around, we’re doing it again! Last year’s event at Bell Works in Holmdel exceeded our wildest expectations. Over a thousand people turned out to sample New Jersey wine and left with great memories and a better understanding of the quality of wine the Garden State produces. Many also left with a bottle or two (or more) to share their excitement about local wine with friends and family.

This year, the NJ Wine Expo returns to Bell Works on November 15, and it’s shaping up to exceed last year’s success.

“The 2025 NJ Wine Expo will feature more New Jersey wineries than the first year, making it the largest gathering of New Jersey wineries in history!” says Devon Perry, executive director of Garden State Wine Growers Association. “Industry insiders are gathering in larger numbers from the New Jersey wine community, tourism, and academia to ensure a true insider’s look behind the vines as well.”

Cedar Rose Vineyards’ Dustin Tarpine, chair of the GSWGA board, echoes Perry’s enthusiasm.

“The NJ Wine Expo is the largest gathering of New Jersey wineries, bringing the industry together like no other event,” he says. “It gives winery owners and staff the chance to taste wines, share experiences, and connect with colleagues from across the state. Just as importantly, it shows the public the true scale, strength, and diversity of New Jersey’s wine industry, something many people may not realize.”

If you’re already familiar with the wines of our great state, there’s no better place than the Expo to introduce your friends and family to what you already know—New Jersey wineries make great wine.

“The NJ Wine Expo is the best way to taste wines, talk to winemakers, and take home your favorite bottles from New Jersey’s diverse wineries all in one beautiful venue. There is no better time than New Jersey Wine month to celebrate all that Garden State Wineries have to offer, and the NJ Wine Expo is the perfect event to do just that,” says Bellview Winery’s David Gardner, events chair of the GSWGA board.

These are the wineries scheduled to be pour samples (we anticipate over 130!!! different wines will be uncorked between the various wineries) of their wines at the 2025 NJ Wine Expo.
