Nice wine tasting flights. Not really much of a view. Small vineyards maybe good for a daytime date

A cute, calm venue for drinks. They have cheese boards and pretzels for purchase but also allow you to bring your own food--no other alcoholic drinks though. Wine is by the glass and the first one comes with a glass, so it's a couple of dollars more, while subsequent ones are cheaper. So I wonder if you bring the glass back on your next visit, they'll charge you the glass-less price. We got a white, I forget which one, but it wasn't too sweet, which I liked. Our second round we got slushees, which are sweet so they mask how potent the wine can be. The band was also an appropriate volume, which I appreciated, because sometimes you can be yelling in order to hear each other. read more

Owner were so friendly and inviting. Loved the snacks and live music. Will definitely go back.

Came here a few weeks ago for a friends birthday and we all had such a great time! The vineyard space is quite spacious and lovely. There is plenty of seating and fire pits for small and bigger groups! We did the tasting which gave us 3 tastings and one full size drink. I did the rosé, the BB white and the cabernet and they were all stunning! I loveeeed the cabernet, I ended up getting an additional glass of it later. For my full drink I got the Frozen seasonal wine slushy and it was so so incredibly good. I asked one of the workers and he said he believed it was made with the cab so that adds up. You also got to keep the wine glass they gave you which I think is fun, another to add to my ever growing collection. The stand was decorated for halloween with some products to buy, they were also having a sale on their wine so we picked some up. They didn't have a big food selection but we were able to bring your own so that's what we did. They also had live music which was a great touch that I really enjoyed. Overall, I had a wonderful experience here and will definitely be coming back again with my friends. This would be such a cute date spot as well! read more

I'm so glad I found this vineyard on Yelp. Decided to head over here on July 4th about an hour after it opened and luckily only a few parties besides us were there. A tasting is $20 which includes 3 tastings, 1 full glass, and you get to keep the glass as well. For my full glass I got the slushee and it was so cool and refreshing especially on that hot day. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Definitely will be returning to try some more! read more

What a cute little vineyard!! Came here for a birthday celebration and this vineyard did not disappoint! We made a reservation prior to arriving and there is a max of 5 or 6 people per table due to COVID restrictions. We were able to bring in our own snacks so one of the girls created our very own cheese and meat charcuterie board! For $20, the wine tasting included 3 samples that you chose from a menu, one full serving of the one you like plus a free glass! The overall favorite was the Vignole for white and the Chambourcin Reserva for the red. And they hooked up the Birthday Girl with a free glass! For me, I was obsessed with the flavor of the Vino Frappe which is like a frozen wine slushee and they used Big Brook Red in the mix. I promise you this is a MUST try. It was perfectly sweet and tart. It was so good we just kept them coming at $7 a pop! Thankfully, we had a 12pm reservation as once 2:30pm hit, the place was packed. They had tables and firepits available depending on what you were in the mood for and they did also offer small snacks for a small fee. They also had live music was was great and as we walked the vineyard, we discovered this amazing swing! It sure made for some good pictures and laughs! Overall, we had an amazing time and make sure to get there early! They were running out of Vino Frappe as they were running low on Big Brook Red early afternoon. read more

This vineyard was excellent! We loved all of our tastings our favorites were the Cayuga white, Vignole, Monmouth blush, and Patriot. Janet the owner was so warm and welcoming and sweet telling us about the history of the vineyard's home. We came on a rainy day and we loved the rustic farmhouse it was in it felt very peaceful. The whole vineyard was a beautiful sight. We will be back! read more

COLTS NECK: 4 JG's Orchards & Vineyards is located on a beautiful and historic farm in Colts Neck. Brie attended the "Tasting on the Lawn" event where they offered 7 tastings of their homegrown wine. Friendly, quiet and leashed dogs are allowed and for the comfort of all guests, asked to stay on the perimeter of the property. Check their website for hours and events. read more

Very nice winery so close to home! I love the fact that every winery you visit is so unique and each has their own unique wines and offerings. 4JG's tasting room and store is located inside a magnificent, landmarked home from 1700. The wide plank wood floors and brick walls give this tasting room a very cozy feel. There are several bar top tables (no seats) and bowls of goldfish on each table to snack on. 4JG's does not offer private events, estate tours or host food truck festivals. What they do offer is a serene setting to have a picnic at one of their picnic tables or fire pit. The owner and employees are very nice too. Hang out the day and bring your own food or just stop in for a tasting. Make sure to check their hours before you go because they are very limited. Don't forget to bring Fido! read more

Our waitress was great and made good recommendations. I really enjoyed the Vino frappe. There are restrictions, social distancing and masks required. Overall I felt safe and enjoyed this experience! read more

I visited this Winery today with a friend as a belated birthday celebration. Our reservation was for 12pm. We were seated promptly after we payed the entrance fee. It was a breeze to get in and get seated. All the staff were very friendly. The wine and snack trays were reasonably priced. I would definitely return to this Winery and recommend to all my friends. read more

Came here with my husband and the experience was excellent. The trails were not open but we enjoyed the wine tasting. For 12 bucks you were able to taste 6 different wines. So far my favorite is the Angel Tooth. Its sweet but not over bearing. We walked over to where the barrels were and were able to taste the 2019. It was amazing. I cant wait to buy it in a bottle. We sat on the premises and under the shade. The atmosphere was very tranquil and relaxing as well as romantic. We then switch to the Wine Frappe. Omg!!!! That is amazing especially to beat the heat. We loved it so much we brought a few bottles and the frappe kit to host at home. The staff was very friendly and informative. I will definitely be returning with my husband and family. Very pleasant time. read more

The staff here is wonderful. They are beyond sweet and helpful. We got 3 samples and a glass for $15. We ended up getting another round and a cheese platter. They let you bring food from outside so we ended up making a stop to Wawas close by and brought in some Doritos and sandwiches. We went when it was extremely hot out but it was manageable since they set up tents and had a fan. They also made us take the glasses due to Covid. We ended up with 7 glasses to take home as souvenirs haha. The wines I tried, I blueing the frappe which is a frozen wine (pictured) were all very sweet so although it was not my preference- it was enjoyable especially with the heat! read more

4JG's Vineyards - Wine Frappe under tent - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Colts Neck, New Jersey

This place is truly amazing. I was worried that this experience wouldn't be as pleasant because of COVID-19. However, this place did not disappoint. There was no indoor siting but length of outdoor seating safely spread out. They even had a fireplace outside!!! The cheese tray was $10 and it was delicious...it was safely pre packed with cheese, crackers, salami, and grapes. My boyfriend and I ended up choosing the BB red wine...it smelled like raspberries!!! But the best part is that you can get up with your free glass of wine and walk around the vineyard...so relaxing and an amazing date idea to go with your partner or friends. They also make reservations by email. Keep in mind that they don't allow more than 5 people to sit together due to COVID-19. read more

Definitely a fun local vineyard to visit, even during Covid! Drinks - The tasting was very affordable and they gave us some nice background info on the local wines. You get to try three different wines of your choice, then a full glass. I tried their vino frappe special over the summer, and it was delicious! Food - We didn't order any food, but they have pre-packaged cheese trays etc. Service - The service was great! We visited the day after a major storm, and their power was still out. But the staff still had a great attitude and made it work, and I really appreciated that. Our waiter also made great recommendations and told us about the local wines. Covid - The staff was wearing masks, encouraged the use of hand sanitizer, and served the tasting in plastic cups. The full glass was served in a real wine glass that they let us take home. The tables were spaced out outside and overall we felt very safe and comfortable. They also let us wander the vineyards (with masks on). read more

Great experience! Was fun trying some wine and hanging out in the outdoor area. They had live music with fire pits and ample seating. Definitely will go back and highly recommend to people. Service was awesome . No food only small snacks served here and the snack are aren't that great. read more

Amazing vineyard and experience. The exceptional staff is knowledgeable and helps you to better understand the wines your are tasting while providing an amazing service. Most of which are award winners throughout NJ and out-of-state! They're all doing a great job providing their service and and overall amazing experience at an exceptional value! I'd highly recommend 4JG's Vineyard to anyone looking for a great weekend adventure. All the best to the staff and ownership! Keep up the excellent work (especially Danielle, she is amazing and you should request her as your server!). read more

First stop. Colts Neck, NJ is more than farm land of horses, cows, and big houses where Four JG's is a family owned and operated vineyard where my good close friends (party of five) attained a glimpse of their cellar in a barn/garage. Tastings for $5.00 is available where guests are able to keep their mid to small wine glass. Snacks to clean one's palate are available but their cheese puff is immensely stale for an infinite days old. The multi-grain crackers was tasty to compensate as my very delayed lunch!! The annual NJ Wine Passport is readily available and free to attain here. Service is somewhat friendly but not entirely welcoming and appear okay. The gift shop is cute with little nick nack of all things wine. Here lies my first taste of Chambourcin 2010 which I enjoyed that French Hybrid grape with a rich cherry flavor. read more

We just had an awesome experience at the winery, tasting wine and picking out our Christmas tree! They poured very generous glasses, and had a great selection of trees to pick from, and great service after picking the tree. We hope to make it a new tradition! read more

First time with friends, came in the fall. Vineyard: it's not huge and not tiny. Wine: I loved the spiced wine. It was my favorite. Atmosphere: They had live music, a fire pit and popcorn. Everyone who worked there was super friendly. Overall: I would love to come back in the summertime. It really was a relaxing and fun experience. read more

Great experience and very welcoming staff. I came for the wine and cask tasting at the very cozy vineyard. They have a room inside the house for wine and frozen wine tasting. They then escort people to see the casks and wine processing techniques and allow you to taste the wine right out of the cask which is very cool. I took a wall through their beautiful vineyard grounds, on a nice sunny day its great for a date read more

Nice location and good wine choices. The vineyard is cute and it's a family owned small business so that's a plus. You can bring your own food. When I went they had a charcuterie board available as well. Definitely think it's worth trying out. read more

Great atmosphere. Amazing staff. Good wine. They also have live music. And a radio playing while you wait for the artist.

We stopped by on our way home from an errand. The tastings take place in a very old, historic house. Although they make some of their own this winery seems to mostly be a supplier of grapes to others who use then to make wine. They have some sweet wines that are not for us but you may like them. They also have a somewhat unique wine that kind of tastes like liquid jelly, so probably good for desert. I am not sure if they offer tours - the place where the wine is actually made is not apparent. read more

This is actually our third visit to Four JGs and while the first two visits were crowded and sort of lackluster this last visit was a refreshing change. They had a barrel tasting last weekend which was moderated by one of the owners. It is readily apparent that they have a great amount of pride in their vineyard and what they have accomplished since buying the land and planting their grapes. The setting is beautiful and the tasting room is in a very old house that was on the property when it was a working farm. Our "normal" tasting consisted of 10 different wines while the barrel tasting consisted of the 2011 Chardonnay (Good) and the 2010 Cabernet Franc (Not to our liking). Maybe it is due to the extreme heat lately, but we enjoyed the whites and bought a bottle of 2010 Big Brook White. We will definitely return later in the year- perhaps during harvest. read more

Our 2nd backyard!! We love sitting with a glass of wine on rocking chairs enjoying their amazing setting. The staff is always so friendly and remembers us by name. Their Cayuga White and Patriot are a couple of our favorites. Looking forward to some cooler afternoons to sit by the fire pits. Amazing place! Amazing Wine! Amazing people! read more

Came here for a wine tasting with co-workers and it was awesome! Beautiful vineyard, super nice owners, delicious wines. Their frozen wine frappes are a must try, one of the best I've had! Can't wait to come back with my family. read more

We had an amazing time here today!! Janet and Steve were the best....always checking on us and making us feel so welcome!! Their wine is fabulous... I enjoy white so my fav was Cayuga white and my hubby likes red his fav was Patriot.... of course we both love their Rosé too!! We enjoyed a delicious cheese tray, wine tasting 2 glasses of wine, music, walk of the vineyard and walked away with a case of whites!!! read more

Incredible people, wine, and service. You can not beat the prices for the quality of wine. Brendan and Ciara were beyond helpful and friendly. It's a beautiful property with an incredible atmosphere.

Strongest recommendations to all to come check out this spot out read more

Decided to check this vineyard out after venturing to NJ to go pumpkin picking. We didn't have a reservation and picked 4JG's based on distance from where we were. Beautiful vineyard and great service. George was awesome! He was very attentive. We had a great time there. Would definitely make a trip back. read more

Visited for the first time in Sept and it was so good we had to go back in Oct. It's really nice to have the opportunity to do an outdoor tasting in the area--they have firepits and lots of seating where you can enjoy your own picnic. The property and it's vineyards are lovely, as are the family that run the winery. Our server, George, was helpful, gracious and engaging. But, most importantly, the wine is really delicious--first rate--grown and bottled on property. A beautiful outdoor COVID activity for now, but I look forward to when the indoor tasting room can reopen, we'll definitely be back! read more

He made sure we had the best time and he even went the extra mile to show us the best spots for pictures. Would definitely go back! read more

My boyfriend & I went here for the "Soup & Sip" event on our anniversary, which was lovely. The staff was extremely friendly & knowledgeable; they even let us have extra samples of soup & wine for free. Despite not finding a wine I loved, the vineyard was well maintained & beautiful. We sat outside by the fire pit as we enjoyed a beverage, which was very relaxing & perfect for the chilly fall day we were having. Overall, visiting 4JG was a great experience & I would recommend doing so! read more

We went to 4 JG's this weekend and I'm sorry to report was one of the least favorite wine tasting experiences we have had so far in the state. We are on a mission to visit every vineyard in the state and have been to over 30 so far in NJ. When you first walk in you are offered 2 different choices for tastings. $10 per person or $15 per person. The $10 dollar tasting only includes a few tastings maybe 3 or 5 wines. For $15 you get 3 reserve reds and 3 choices from the top portion of the wine menu. It's not all about the money, but $30 for 2 people to try 6 wines is a little high for Jersey Winery standards. Many we have visited are $10 and you get to try 8, 10 or as many as 12 wines. Now the fun starts. After being stuck in the front foyer of a converted farm house waiting to pay you are given tickets. 6 to be exact. You walk 10 feet into an adjoining room where there is a small table with 2 bartenders who are pouring the wines. Your packed into the room like cattle. Tickets in hand like your at the local carnival with tickets for the rides. The bartenders don't give you personal service explaining each wine like they do at almost all the other vineyards. As a matter of fact our bartender was more interested in what his co-worker was saying to some guest that he wasn't paying any attention to us and we had to ask a few times for our next selection to try. You feel rushed to get your samples and move on so the others waiting behind you can get a chance to taste the wines. THE WINE WAS REALLY GOOD! which is a shame because the experience was not fun at all. Needless to say after paying $30 for a tasting for two that lasted about 10 minutes, we had no interest in giving them more of our money to purchase their wines. Again, it's a shame because we liked their wine. They really need to change the process here. Adjacent to the tasting table was another room. They really need to make a second area for tastings to take place. Truth be told it's not all about the wine or the money. It's about getting away from the daily grind and enjoying an experience. This one was not very enjoyable. I would have bought at least 2 or maybe 3 bottles but not after spending $30 for that experience. In contrast: We went down the road about 10 minutes to Fox Hollow Winery and had a fantastic time. They charge $12 dollars per person for a tasting which only includes 5 wines, but the experience was sooooo much better! Joe our bartender was awesome. We had great conversation about the wine and history of the vineyard. Stayed to enjoy a glass each outside enjoying the day. Hopefully they actually read this and think about the overall experience and make a change or two. I'm sure people come here and have a different experience but this is a honest reporting of our visit. read more
