“I am excited to join the Garden State Wine Growers Association in expanding NJ 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 NJ to their Thanksgiving and holiday meals and gift giving.”

Director of New Jersey Division of Travel and Tourism, Jeffery Vasser shares, “The November 9th wine exposition offers participants an opportunity to meet our state’s passionate winemakers, explore 130 of New Jersey’s best vintages, and enjoy expert presentations. As visitors journey through Garden State Wine Country, they’ll not only discover our picturesque vineyards, but also our charming attractions, welcoming accommodations and top-notch culinary experiences that perfectly pair with New Jersey wines. We invite everyone to savor the pours and scenic beauty that make New Jersey a top destination for wine lovers.”

Professor Donna Albano of Stockton University shares: “I am thrilled to be kicking off New Jersey Wine Month on the road in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, where I will be presenting ‘Taste of the Garden State, Exploring New Jersey’s Wine Regions’ at the annual American Wine Society National Conference.”

Lori A. Pepenella, President of the New Jersey Tourism Industry Association, shares, “The New Jersey Tourism Industry Association (NJTIA), as the leading advocate for travel and tourism in the Garden State, celebrates New Jersey Wine Month and the NJ Wine Expo. This is an opportunity for everyone to explore the innate beauty of our state and highlights the fantastic experiences that our wineries provide. The NJTIA recognizes the unique character that New Jersey wines infuse into local cuisine, events, activities, getaways, and significant moments throughout our beloved state.”
