Love Beneduce Vineyards!! I've been here several times over the years, mostly recently for an engagement party in the greenhouse "Oasis" that a friend and I helped to plan. Everything from our walkthrough to the party itself was PERFECT. What a beautiful space and the entire vineyard team is so nice and helpful. Definitely recommend celebrating your next occasion here in one of their beautiful event spaces. The wine and vibes couldn't have been better. Thanks Kara and team! read more

Had the perfect Mother's Day gathering at Beneduce Vineyards. The staff were so helpful. Enjoyed the music. And of course the wine was wonderful read more

I went here to visit this past summer. They have a really nice vineyard and tasting room. The winetenders were very knowledgeable about the tasting notes. I sat outside and listened to the live band. I literally could sit for hours outside sipping on their pink Aqua Pazza wine, listening to the live music, and enjoying the vineyard grounds. Can't wait to go back again this summer. read more

4.5 stars It had been years since my last visit to Beneduce Vineyards, so I was happy that I was able to make it back there recently. The winery had rows and rows of grapes that they used to make several of their estate wines. In the midst of the vines, there was a large taproom where you could either sit at the bar or grab one of their high-top tables to enjoy a glass, a tasting, and/or a lovely charcuterie platter. There was also a small "shop" where you could pick up picnic munchies like bread, cheese, crackers, etc. Since it had been a while since I had tried their wines, I decided to do a flight, which was only available indoors. We decided to sit at the bar, as a staff member told us we would receive faster service there. However, we still felt like there was a lengthy amount of time between each of my 1 oz pours, because, despite it not being super busy, the clientele outweighed the staff; our server was consistently running between pouring for us and pouring for one or two of the tables. He was knowledgeable and friendly, just swamped. Overall, when it came to the wines, I largely enjoyed them. The flight included: 1.) 2023 Dry Riesling - lots of citrus, medium-bodied, mild acidity, not at all sweet (3.5/5) 2.) 2023 Gewurztraminer - light, watery, hints of grapefruit (2/5) 3.) 2023 Chardonnay - aged in oak but not overly buttery, aromas of red pear and apricot, bright, flavorful, unique. This one was my favorite. (4/5) 4.) 2021 Pinot Noir - light-bodied, but complex in flavor. Notes of red cherry at the forefront that changed to earthiness and mocha as it lingered (2.5/5) 5.) 2021 Blaufrankisch - medium-bodied, tasted like dark-chocolate-covered blueberry. This could definitely hold up in a pairing with steak. (4/5) I also asked for a small sip of the 2024 Dry Rosé (3.25/5), which was made from Blaufrankisch grapes fermented in stainless steel, but I found it a bit too dry and creamy for my liking. I decided to order a glass to take outside, a perk that I was unable to enjoy on my previous late Fall visit. I was debating between the Chardonnay and the Blaufrankisch, but settled on the more seasonal, chilled white wine. We wandered outside and found that we had several seating options. There was a field of picnic tables with umbrellas to keep out the sun, and they all faced a small stage where a terrific classic rock cover band, The Frequent Flyers, was playing. Guests could purchase food from the Italian food truck (trucks rotate) or bring their own treats. There were also tables on the patio of the tasting room building, which were much more cool and shaded, though you could not directly see the stage. A few bocce and cornhole courts were near the band and could keep kids entertained, while still in their parents' lines of sight. Plus, there were 2 delicious, house-made mocktails to allow non-drinking guests of all ages to feel like they were part of the action. In both wine quality and full-service experience, the Beneduce Winery exceled above other New Jersey wineries and was worth the trip. read more

Had a great time with friends -They have multiple seating areas - indoor, covered patio and tables and picnic benches in lawn with umbrellas. Their indoor seating is one of the nicest I've been to for a winery! They have live music on the weekends and you'll need to make an advance reservation online. We went on memorial day weekend after making a reservation for a group of 9. They allow to bring your own food, have cheeseboard/snacks to buy and also have food trucks on weekends.We arrived 1ish and got assigned table right away ( I would suggest making reservation early as table to us was assigned behind the stage and told it's because we booked last minute). We opted to sit at the firepit which is open seating. There was a acoustic music, it was nice but a band would have been much better considering the weekend and crowd. We tried their dry Rose and Chardonnay, liked both and ended up finishing 5 bottles. Overall,had a great experience- will definitely go again. read more

Beneduce Vineyards - Lawn seating with firepit and umbrellas - Wineries Near Me - Pittstown, New Jersey

My favorite winery in NJ! I've been several times and each time is better than the last. The grounds are stunning with a beautiful, spacious outdoor area filled with various picnic benches, Adirondack chairs around cauldron fire pits, and patio tables. The landscaping is so pretty and tranquil with the beautiful wildflowers and vineyards surrounding the seating area outside. There's plenty of space to bring a group and reservations are pretty much a must on weekends. When we went on a Wednesday afternoon there was hardly anyone there and we had the whole outdoor area to ourselves. The ambiance inside is incredible as well. I love their wines with the 2023 dry Riesling and the Shotgun Red being my favorites. They have events throughout the week like trivia and live music. I celebrated a birthday here one year and my friends all loved it. The perfect place to relax on a Fall day. The service is great and they offer tastings. It's important to know that they don't do flights, but more so sequential tastings (5 for $20 or a $40 local pairing of wine and meat/cheese) and they have limited food. They sell some small snacks and merchandise and have food trucks I believe only on the weekend. Highly recommend if you've never been. read more

I love how this vineyard has both indoor and outdoor seating. Their indoor seating is one of the nicest I've been to for a winery! They have wine tastings or you can buy wine by the glass or bottle. We went with the Cabernet and sparkling wine and both were very delicious. You can bring your own food or you can purchase a cheeseboard. I honestly thing they overcharge for their cheeseboard. It's $20pp and you barely get anything. We spent $40 for our board. They have a little market area and sell food so you'll get more value purchasing from there and making your own board. For $26 we got a full load of bread, block of cheese and block of chorizo, which was more food than their $40 cheeseboard. Overall we had a great time! read more

Beneduce Vineyards - The rosé was my favorite. - Wineries Near Me - Pittstown, New Jersey

They have been here for 11 years now and this visit was the first time I knew about them. Not having been in that area for a VERY long time, it was amazing just to see what has become of the old farm land. The place is huge and if you come here during the week off hours most likely you are not going to need a reservation. Coming here at prime time for an event? Well, the reservation system gets you a table which is wonderful and easy to reserve at a very fair price. As mentioned on their website, "We offer a curated selection of locally sourced cheese, salumi and small bites, in addition to a rotating schedule of food trucks on most weekends." Meaning, if you see the pizza in the photos here on Yelp, don't expect it (meaning the food truck) during the slow period of a day in the middle of the week. With that said, what they have (cold) to be served any time you visit is actually a great pairing for the wine. I have not experienced the full offering of wine yet; however, I do enjoy the Mangione over the Blaufränkisch ever so slightly. Another bonus, again, from their website: "Leashed and friendly dogs are welcome in our outdoor areas including our covered Crush Pad, and a doggie bag station is located on site." So, you can bring your furry little friend too. Friendly service, great wine, great food (even with the small selection), and wonderful events (at least as listed as I have yet to go to one). I am looking forward to going back here for sure! read more

Great location, staff was great, would do it again. Location is stunning. Able to accommodate small groups.

We had such a great time here! We brought food, ate outside, and enjoyed a bottle of red wine. The grounds are beautiful! Eventually we moved inside and sat at the bar. Our server Brent was great! He was very knowledgeable about the wines. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely return. read more

We visited for a birthday party from out of state. We were impressed with the look and feel of the vineyard and the staff was fantastic. They had several different party areas and all of them seemed to be busy. The outside area seemed like a wonderful place to spend an afternoon. I tried a dry white that I enjoyed but my favorite was the rose. It was delicious. I would definitely visit again! read more

Found this place while searching for a vineyard to check out over the weekend! The moment we arrived, everything looked amazing and we were impressed by how nice it looked inside, as well as their outdoor seating. We had their seasonal wine tasting, which came with 3 white wines and 2 red wines. Workers there were all very generous and knowledgeable of their products so overall, we were satisfied with this place. I ended up buying their Chardonnay and Blaufränkisch, as well as their beenie (for souvenir). Would definitely come back here again! read more

For a party of 5 we thought we'd take a drive and see if we could do a wine tasting. We were wrong. Do please make a reservation before. We sat at the bar ordered 5 bottles of wine and conducted our own little tasting. The pizza cart that was set up outside was delicious and they had entertainment. All in all a really good time. read more

Was heading to Hershey PA & saw signs for this place and decided to stop on a Sunday afternoon. We did the sample of 5 different wines & they had a guy performing solo, singing & while playing guitar covering a lot of classic soft rock. We ended up only purchasing only 1 bottle of their wine because we were going away from home instead of back home. Really enjoyed this unplanned experience & the ladies behind the bar were super nice. Will definitely visit this place again as it was an enjoyable getaway experience. read more

I was so surprised to hear that there was a vineyard only 20 minutes away from my house! My friend and I did the seasonal tasting which was $20 per person. In that, you get 5 one ounce pours of the vineyards seasonal wines. I fell in love with the riesling and pinot noir, and I don't even like dry wines! I will say though, the bar area got really really packed a few minutes into our tasting. It got a little overwhelming when there were people coming between my friend and I trying to order while we were sitting at the bar. If you're interested in the local tasting, you need a reservation so make sure you reserve your time online! The charcuterie board was also great, it was helpful that the menu had all the cheeses and spreads on the page and said what paired best with each wine. Definitely would be back again! read more

What a beautiful winery and the wine is also not bad highly recommend. If you reserve a space, you can sit outside and enjoy the life music. You can also go inside and enjoy wine tasting also everything by appointment it's very beautiful and tangled place. However it is very busy reservations are a must. read more

Beautiful area, huge winery, with a lively atmosphere on a Saturday evening. A bit on the pricy side, as each bottle ran us around $50 (we bought a rose, Pinot noir, and another one of the reds). Service was okay, but they were quite busy so it's understandable. I made reservations for the outdoor seating, which we didn't end up using as we had a baby with us so it was a bit too loud and hot where our table was, so that was a bit of a waste of money. I wish they had more than one food truck at a time, though most people seemed to bring food read more

I wanted to give this place a better review so bad but so much about it turned me off. We got to this place about 40 mins before closing and asked if we could do a quick wine tasting. Unfortunately they didn't let us even though there were like 40 people still sitting and drinking and trust me, their glasses were pretty full so they would be a while. So because we drove like 45 mins to get to this place they said we had to buy bottles. How am I suppose to buy a bottle and I don't even know what it taste like. So we bought 4 bottles and took them home to try and nothing blew my mind. They were okay at best. But that's why you do a tasting, to buy what you like. Other then the wine the place was gorgeous and they even had outdoor heating. I don't blame the staff cause that just may be policy with tastings. I'd love to still come back and try more. I'll give an updated review then. read more

This place has a great ambiance and the wine is good. I look forward to visiting again

Decent wine but WAY too many rules for me to ever come back here. 4 of us walked into the tasting room & several tables were empty at 2pm with a "reserved" sign on them. Ok we asked about moving 2 empty tables together which they did but said we can only stay in those seats for 90 minutes - like what? I tried to help move the table & chairs but was told I shouldn't as the owners don't want a lawsuit - uh, Ok. Bought a bottle & had to "rent" the glasses by paying $5 a glass & then you get your $ back when returning the glass. The inside was freezing & if you don't bring your own food you are "sh*t out of luck" as all they sell is some blue cheese & some meats that have seen better days. There are SO many other wineries out there that are more laid back which is much more my style. read more

The wine tasting was fun and the food was delicious! My wife and I came here for a lunch date and we enjoyed the winery! Anthony was great and knowledgeable about the wines. We had a wonderful time and look forward to returning soon! read more

We called ahead to see if they had any 2019 Open Source Chardonnay left. They set aside two bottles for us prior to our arrival. Amy assisted us with our tasting. We recommend the local pairings with a tasting. On our local pairing board we had a goat cheese, a cows milk cheese, a sheep's milk cheese, handmade seasoned hard bread sticks and and a salami. It was the perfect accompaniment to our wines. We tried several new wines to us- Acqua Pazza, Blaufrankenkisch, Shotgun (a red blend) and chambrusco (fizzy Chambourcin). We also tried some favorites at other wineries- dry Riesling and Gerwürztraminer. The acqua pazza would be refreshing on a hot summer day. It's, mild, light and unique! Give it a try! Amy, our server was attentive and explained each wine and pairings. She was a pleasure! We left with the original two bottles we went for, plus, several other bottles that we wanted to enjoy at home. read more

Beautiful grounds to enjoy a nice day. We tried 6 different wines. None of them were great, but nothing was bad. Prices hovered around $12-14 a glass. We brought our own snacks and there was a food truck as well. Beneduce does not do tasting flights, only tastings inside at the bar. You can grab a free tour of the greenhouses and vineyard with one of the staff members. I would come back more frequently if the prices were a bit more on par with other wineries, but you partially pay for the grounds and experience here. read more

I've only ever visited Beneduce once for a mid-week tasting, and finally had the opportunity to stop in again for a real deal summer weekend experience. They have live music on the weekends and you'll need to make an advance reservation online. It's pretty tough to snag a reservation, so when I saw one was available I jumped at the chance. The reservation requirement seems annoying when you can't get one, but when you can it makes you realize that this is absolutely the best way to do it. Beneduce has an incredibly organized system, and after you make a reservation they assign you a table. Wineries get so crowded on summer weekends, so having a reserved spot really eliminates a lot of the stress. They also have an incredibly well organized parking system with employees directing the flow of traffic and letting you know exactly where to park. Once inside the grounds it's just the most beautiful and relaxing setting. Tables have large umbrellas so it's easy to get shade. You get a nice view of the stage from any table, and the band played for a few hours and hardly took any breaks. It's an easy walk to the tap room to order drinks and you can bring any sort of snacks that you'd like. I like visiting Beneduce for the vibe alone, but they also have some super tasty wine. Prices have definitely raised in the last year which is a bummer, but this has happened everywhere so it's not surprising. Cannot wait to come back! read more

5 Stars are not enough .. I'd say 5 stars times five .. Hands down the best most beautiful vineyard I've ever been to . People there are so friendly and welcoming , not to mention that it's a beautiful place with stunning view . Tried a tuxedo wine that was actually made from dark grapes but it was white wine . So good !!! It's a very big place with beautiful high top tables inside and picnic tables outside , they also have an area where there are tables with umbrellas for the sunny days . The bathrooms are extremely clean , and they also have charcuterie boards or you can bring your own food . Can't wait to go back !!!! read more

It was a beautiful day and we were happy for that. We ordered a nice rose, bought some cheese, and I was paying with cash and was short a penny. Jamie, the woman who was helping us would not let me off the hook for this penny. I didn't have one and she waited until a complete stranger offered to give me one. She dug through her purse and finally found one. That, in my opinion was really low, unprofessional and very distasteful. We spent over $250.00 at the vineyard and it disgusted me that she couldn't treat her costumer with the slightest ounce of respect. We will not be returning to this vineyard again. read more

We used to love this place, but won't be going back. I called and asked if they were open. The exact response was, 'we're open till 5. Come on in!' Only after driving 50 minutes did they then tell us there was a per person cover. Shady business practice. read more

Beneduce is an absolutely beautiful vineyard in Pittstown, NJ. When you drive in, they have a traffic guard direct you on where to park. When you walk in there's a bar and plenty of seating throughout the area. They have seating directly next to the bar outside and that's where we had our reservations. Further in front of the housing location, there's a stage with plenty of seating around with a live band playing. Next to the stage they have a few games you can play as well. This is definitely a very beautiful place and I'd recommend checking it out As for the wine, I have to admit that I just started getting into wine but I did enjoy their reds. I didn't try their white wines though. Outdoor there was a vendor serving pizza which was pretty decent. It was a bit confusing at first but the staff were very friendly and willing to answer any questions I had. read more

Quite enjoyed our time here. We hasn't planned on visiting but we were in the area. We were greeted and their tasting menus were explained and we were allowed to choose our table after ordering. Very spacious and they had the ceiling fans running, which was appreciated for the circulating air, given the times. Staff doesn't wear masks. We got the tasting menu with cheese, which is locally sourced. A goat cheese, which my partner liked, an ash cheese that I liked and the truffle cheese which was great--definitely tasted both the ashiness and truffle. Wish the bread was actual bread instead of the cracker like bread. Service was kind and friendly and not overbearing. I really liked the wines here and The outside looks as if it could be really beautiful in the summer. I hope to come again! read more

Great ambience. The grounds are beautiful. Trivia night was really fun! Our whole group had a great time

This winery is one of my favorites. NJ wineries are hit or miss but this winery is a consistent hit. Located on beautiful grounds, the winery had both indoor and outdoor space. The inside is pretty spacious. There's an area up away from everyone else that I've seen people reserve for larger parties or birthdays. The winery has a huge bar space in addition to table space. I have not had a bad wine at this winery. They have some good reds and some even better whites. I was recently there and had their Open Source chardonnay which was a chard collaboration with a few other wineries. It was really good and pretty popular. I wanted to buy a bottle but it was sold out. Grab a few friends, bring your own food and make your way to this winery, you won't regret it. The staff is friendly and the ambiance is bright and inviting. read more

I came here with some friends for the afternoon with a reservation. We got a table on the patio near a fire pit. This winery is really cute. The outside has tables with umbrellas and chairs and a few fire pits to sit around. There's a decent amount of space. There's a little stage and there was a man playing his guitar and you couldn't hear it. A gentleman who works there came up to us asking how we were doing and said if we wanted a tour to come find him. We didn't do a tour but that was nice to know about. They have a deposit on the glasses. You get it back when you return your wine glass. They don't serve food but there was one BBQ food truck. I wish they had more than one. The food was alright. Nothing to talk about. Don't come here expecting much to eat. They had cheese and meats in a fridge you could buy and I believe you could order a board. There is a section in the back for playing bocci ball and corn hole. The wine tasted good but there isn't a big selection of wines so I'm sure they take care of perfecting their wine. The prices were ok. They have the open vineyards and what looks to be green houses. I'm not sure what they are but it's a cute vibe and had a bridal shower going on. If you live in Jersey I say definitely visit it. I'm not from Jersey and I probably wouldn't drive all the way there again but if you're close give it a try. read more

What a beautiful vineyard for a great time with family and friends. There was live music outdoors beside fire pits and the interior was cozy and well decorated.

Maybe I will be back one day for an event of my own! read more
