November is New Jersey Wine Month
November is New Jersey Wine Month
November 2025 – November is New Jersey Wine Month. From November 1-30, “Cheers to New Jersey Wine” will accompany the clinking of wine glasses from Sussex County down to Cape May County at wineries, restaurants, and special events during the festive month-long celebration.
Traditionally, New Jersey Wine Week has captivated the Garden State’s attention during the third week of November with special winery events and toasts to New Jersey’s wines. With the growth of the state’s wine industry, coupled with the quality and diversity of what’s being bottled expanding, seven days are no longer enough to contain the celebration.
“I am excited to join the Garden State Wine Growers Association in expanding New Jersey Wine Week to a month-long celebration of NJ wine this November,” said Ed Wengryn, NJ Secretary of Agriculture. ”As the fall harvest season begins to wrap up it is a perfect time for people to get out and see our vineyards and explore our wineries, trying the best of what our winegrowers produce. As the holiday season approaches it offers people the chance to add a taste of New Jersey to their Thanksgiving and holiday meals and gift giving.”
Here’s what the Garden State has planned for the second annual New Jersey Wine Month.
- November 1: New Jersey Wine Month kicks off with many of New Jersey’s 60+ wineries and vineyards hosting special events during the entire month.
- November 15: NJ Wine Expo, a day-long celebration at Bell Works Ballroom in Holmdel with ticketed sessions for New Jersey wine lovers to enjoy samples of NJ’s fine wines, light bites, celebrity chef demos, wine talks, and more
- November 29: The annual New Jersey Holiday Wine Trail kicks off with special events at wineries throughout the state
Wine lovers at the events (or anywhere—at home, restaurants, picnics…) are invited to join in the wave of local support by taking a video while they toast “Cheers to New Jersey wine” and use the hashtags #cheersNJwine and #njwinemonth2025 on their social posts and, on Instagram, tag @newjerseywine
