Andrea O.

Autumn Lake's venue has transformed over the last several years! We enjoy all of their spaces indoor and out (weather permitting!) There's usually a food truck on site during the weekend. They offer charcuterie boxes at the wine bar. There's 3 flight options, but bottles, glasses, and a wine beverage (juice mixed with one of their wines).

Autumn Lake Winery is such a beautiful place. The atmosphere is super relaxing, and it's just a great place to chill with good company. I'm no wine expert, but I really enjoyed what I had. If you're looking for a peaceful spot to unwind, this is the place to go.

Blaufrankisch - my first taste of my three dry red flight. The only drinkable wine in the flight.

This review is more like a 2.5. Pros *Beautiful views of lake *Nice interior *Plenty of of indoor and outdoor seating options Cons *Wine taste and quality *No by the glass sales *Limited offering especially for flights *Lack of information/greeting upon arrival for a new guest *No tastings offered just flights I love to visit a new winery. We decided to visit Autumn Lake at 12noon Saturday 12.2.23 to start my birthday weekend off. We were not greeted immediately upon entry to the bar area despite four staff doing things close by and only two guests being seated at that point in time. There was no flight or tasting info on the bar. I looked at the full bottle menu while we waited to be acknowledged. We then checked in for our reservation and were told where our table was. Still, no information on anything whatsoever. While we got situated at our table I looked at their website to see if I could find the wine flight info. No. We go to the bar and basically say "How does this work? You offer flights? What is your offering?" She then fished a wine flight placard out from behind the bar and puts it in front of us. Very limited. I like dry reds. I had one choice and it was a 3 wine flight. The flight is served in plastic cups with lids, that then go in a paper tray of sorts with your wine glass laid down in it. I honestly could not believe my eyes. First, super wasteful given they are all one time use items. Second, ruins the experience entirely. This wasn't worthy of a wine enjoyment experience in both of our opinions. I felt like I was in a cafeteria. It cheapened the experience and was simply weird. I did not care for the Cab or Chambourcin at all. They tasted of fumes and the metal they were fermented in. The Blaufrankisch was drinkable. I got hit with heartburn immediately while drinking these wines. I never get heartburn. It was my birthday so I wanted to stay and relax. There was another red on the menu that I wanted to give a try but they don't offer glass sales and they only offer one red flight that you cannot customize. They have taps on the wall behind the bar too. Not sure what those are for. So, we left a mere 60 minutes later. I never visit a winery without buying at least 1-2 bottles. I love wine. I typically purchase a 1/2 or whole case. I purchased nothing today. I honestly don't get all of these good reviews. We will not be back.

Down Home Red
Angela H.

Down Home Red was a bottle I bought without a sip to taste. Fearless and no regrets! It was tasty and has less of an acidic sour aftertaste most reds have. I'd gladly buy another. My friend had the Down Home White and it was drier, a little more tart. During late Fall 2020 year, they had fire pits (beware of smoke) seats and picnic tables in both sunny or shade areas. There isn't a cover cost and a lunch truck was on site. My group of friends had a table reserved in advanced. Everything was super easy and covid friendly. Staff kept it clean & clear. We brought food to munch on and just hang out. Although, I did buy a lunch truck sandwich. I really look forward to going back when it warms up outside again (covid pending).

This is a rwalky nice laid back place. Its located within a short drive from most South Jersey areas. During the Summer they have a lot of great local talent as well as different food truck vendors. It has a great view of the lake. The Winery is really nice and there is outdoor dining. The emoloyees are really nice.

Down Home Red Wine
Paul D.

Such a great winery at an amazing location! I went here on a Sunday afternoon with my girlfriend. I called ahead to make a reservation the day of, which I would recommend to do. They have a ton of great selections to choose from. We selected their Down Home red wine, which is one of their sweet wines. The winery sits near a lake, which makes for some spectacular views! This was my second time here, and both times they have had live music. Also, they allow you to bring your own food too, which is a really nice feature not all wineries offer! Overall, I definitely recommend checking this place out for a nice relaxing afternoon!

Heather S.

I actually have never heard of this winery; I came across it while doing a bit of research of cute spots in the area. This is definitely a hidden gem. The staff here are all sweet and accommodating. My boyfriend and I got a bottle of Rosé, which we enjoyed. The view was incredible- we sat at a table gazing over the beautiful lake. There was live music and a food truck to top it all off. I definitely recommend checking this spot out if you love waterfront views!

Please make sure you come next year and enjoy the festival experience. You can bring your own food or partake of all the food trucks. The grounds are absolutely beautiful and great opportunities for pictures. Service was excellent by all staff on the facilities and so welcoming. And running into another Elite Yelper was a cherry on top.

Their tasting room is beautiful but super cozy. I immediately felt relaxed the second I walked in. The winery is surrounded by forest and farmland. A picturesque landscape to admire while you drink wine! We sampled a bunch of their wines, and I finally tried their famous Shamong Blush and I get the hype now. It was smooth, sweet and went down easily. I really also enjoyed the Shamong Red and the Perfect Pear! Highly recommend doing a flight to sample different types of wines. They do have food onsite which they get from Summit Catering -- at the time of our visit (February 2025), we got the flatbread, cheeseboard, mac & cheese bites, and baked brie. Everything paired so well with the wine and just made it feel like a whole experience, not just a tasting. This is such a good spot to spend the day with your people. Date night, girls' day, family time -- you could easily hang here for hours like we did! And their event space is so pretty. If you're planning a wedding, shower, birthday -- this would be such a dreamy place to celebrate. If you need weekend plans, this is your sign. This was totally worth the hour drive!

Owner and staff are super friendly. The backstory to this vineyard is amazing and worth stopping in…read moreto hear the stories. The reds are some of the most spectacular I've had. A total hidden gem. Seasonal and barrel tastings as well as guided tastings with very knowledgable and friendly staffers. Outdoor seating on a brick patio, gas fire pits, pet and family friendly - it's all about the wine here. No kitchens or lines of food trucks... just a simple, chill atmosphere. In the Spring & Summer, I'm out under the trees listening to the birds and reading a book enjoying some crisp whites. Fall & Winter, inside by the wood stove and mixing it up with the staff and visitors. One of the friendliest spots in the area. Truly some of the best wines on either coast. Be sure to join the wine club for amazing opportunities to bundle & save.

A Hidden Gem in South Jersey!…read more Having lived in South Jersey my entire life and visited quite a few local wineries, I'm honestly not sure how I managed to overlook this gem! I've always found many New Jersey wines to be a bit too watery, fruity, or sweet for my taste, which has kept me from exploring more wineries in the southern part of the state. However, on a whim yesterday, I decided to give Amalthea Cellars a try, and I'm so glad I did! From the moment I arrived, I really enjoyed the relaxed, comfortable atmosphere. There was a nice crowd of people just enjoying themselves, no kids running around, no unnecessary noise, and none of the chaos you sometimes encounter at other wineries. Just a peaceful, laid-back setting where you could actually relax and appreciate the wine. And speaking of the wine, what a pleasant surprise! Amalthea offers an impressive variety that should appeal to a wide range of palates. Personally, I prefer dry, medium- to full-bodied reds with some peppery character, and I was happy to find wines that suited my taste. It's refreshing to discover a South Jersey winery that offers more than the typical sweet, fruity selections. Another nice touch is that you're welcome to bring your own food. They also have a good selection of cheeses, crackers, and other snacks available for purchase, which makes it easy to settle in and enjoy your visit. Needless to say, I ended up leaving with a few bottles to enjoy at home! Amalthea Cellars has officially earned a spot among my favorite local wineries. I'm already looking forward to returning, especially to check out some of their smaller events. If you appreciate good wine, a relaxed atmosphere, and a winery that doesn't feel like a crowded weekend playground, Amalthea is absolutely worth a visit!
