The outdoor grounds could have used a fresh mow, but otherwise the property was clean and inviting. It's a small craft distillery, with much of the space dedicated to production, which actually turned out to be one of the highlights of our visit. We were given a brief tour, got an up-close look at their impressive still, and had the chance to ask questions about the distilling process. That personal interaction really added to the experience. We opted for a tasting flight of three spirits. Unfortunately, the one we were most excited to try wasn't available for purchase, even though it was the main reason we made the trip after reading about it. Disappointing, but understandable. We ended up taking home a bottle each of their whiskey and bourbon. At around $45 for the smaller bottles, they felt a bit pricey compared to similar offerings from other craft distilleries. Even so, I'm always happy to support local businesses, especially when they're producing quality spirits. The smoked gin is what first caught our attention, and I'm really looking forward to its release. Since the distillery doesn't open until 5 p.m., a visit requires a little planning--it's not the kind of place you'll casually stumble into while exploring. Overall, we enjoyed our visit and genuinely hope they succeed. The spirits we sampled were well made, the behind-the-scenes tour was a nice bonus, and we'd love to come back on a weekend when the atmosphere is a little more lively. We'll definitely be watching for that email announcing the smoked gin release. Here's hoping it's worth the wait!

Dogs are allowed at this distillery!…read more WOOLWICH TWP: There is something special about Independent Spirits Distillery. Set among the quiet farmlands of southwestern NJ, this family‑run distillery creates an impressive lineup of spirits, from bourbon and whiskey to gin, moonshine, and limoncello, all crafted on‑site with local ingredients and water drawn from their private well. Their home‑style tasting room welcomes leashed and friendly dogs, and the back patio opens to a peaceful countryside view that makes you forget how close you are to the NJ Turnpike. What made the visit unforgettable was the warmth. The owners love sharing their process and stories, and soon we were chatting with every guest around us. It felt like sitting at a family table where everyone is in a good mood.

Every question I have ever had about the many wines they have has been answered with suggestions for pairings and even with ideas about other ways to enjoy their offerings.

I might add that there is only one other winery that I have found that makes cream wines and Wagonhouse is the best!!

The tasting room is pretty spacious but cozy, and they have a huge book collection on shelves in the back. Our server name was Anna I believe, she was a young woman preparing for college (Good Luck to you!!). She suggested the type of tasting we should do and we went with her suggestions. We did the tasting of all the sweet wines they offered. She was able to literally describe every type of wine to us, and even helped with a setting to imagine while drinking it! She was so sweet and very knowledgeable. If you're looking for a nice day out just to get out the house, definitely stop by here!

We walked out with purchasing at least 3 bottles each. These are the wines I can remember tasting, there were two more I cannot think of: 1. Blueberry 2. Blackberry 3. American Ranier I will definitely be back whenever I am in the area!

Here is what we tried: *Ranier Rose - This was good, but we liked the other Ranier versions better. *Ranier Red - This was a very good sweet wine! *Ranier Red - This was also a very good sweet wine! *Red Sangria - This was a good wine, definitely has a raspberry taste to it, at least to us, so not my favorite of the day since I'm not a huge fan of raspberry. *Peach Moscato - This was a really good sweet wine with nice peach flavor. *Huckleberry Moscato - This was also a good sweet wine, but would have preferred a stronger huckleberry flavor, so we preferred the peach. *Almonique - I was most excited to try this one as I love Amaretto. This one was outstanding, definitely tastes like Amaretto without the harsh alcohol flavor. *Smores Cream Wine - It was good, definitely like a smores. *Mocha Java Cream Wine - Our server suggested us to try this one as it was his favorite. We both dislike coffee so we were not expecting to care for this one, but we liked it more than the Smores! Definitely very chocolatey! *Strawberry Mango Cider - This was strong in strawberry with the mango being an aftertaste, but still very good and sweet! *Peach Ginger Cider - This was definitely strong in ginger, almost too much, as I would prefer a stronger peach flavor, but it was still good. This was also sweet. My top three of the day: Almonique, Ranier Red, and Ranier White My husband's top three of the day: Almonique, Ranier Red, and Sangria. I would have loved to have tried some more as it sounds like they have a lot of good wines that are in line with what we liked! When we got home, we ordered some of the wines and ciders and they were shipped very quickly. I will be paying attention to their sales to order more in the future. I definitely recommend stopping by Tomasello Winery if you are in the area!

The Italian Wedding soup was served with bread to mix it up with the wine flight. The space was quiet and quiant with a group enjoying themselves outside while two couples were at the bar. I parked myself at the bar and was introduced to Steven who was a retired engineer/entrepreneur who shared the history of some of the wines with me and some tastings.
