If you don't know where to begin, they have tastings of their wines, spirits, and ciders so you can find your drink of choice. The staff is also super welcoming and knowledgeable during this so you learn so much about each beverage. It does get very crowded in the fall so plan your visit accordingly.

There are not much of any grounds there with the exception of the main building and a small patio area where you can sit and listen to the music if there is music that day. There is a very small menu and we decided to go with the meat board for $16 which included about eight thin slices of meat a few tiny baguettes three tiny pickles and two green olives not worth it in my opinion and have been to other places which offered the same for Less Price and more food.

Several others were enjoying wine, food and the live music! We ordered 2 wine flights and a yummy fruit and cheese board. Other food is available too. The self guided wine flight included 4 samples, logo wine glass and a description of each wine ($12.00). The Dry Riesling sampler was the highlight! The other sampler wines were pretty good. We did order a glass of the Seyval Blanc and Monet. Both wines were nice. Customer service was pretty good. I know it was a self guided wine flight, but the only improvement would be the outdoor servers having some knowledge of the wine. Clearview Vineyard is located up a twisted hill. Parking is available. A very pleasant way to spend a day!

The live music added a great touch, and it was lovely to relax with friends in the crisp autumn air. Service was friendly, but there were a few letdowns. Seating is limited, so be prepared to stand or get cozy. The cider was underwhelming and not served very cold, which took away from the experience. The charcuterie came in a plastic to-go box and was pretty basic--not quite what you'd expect from such a picturesque setting. Also worth noting: the bathrooms are porta-potties, which might be a dealbreaker for some.

We came on a Saturday afternoon and it wasn't too busy at all. We opted for the sweet wine flight to share. The wines started off as follows: 1. Waywayanda white 2. Summer fields 3. Harvest time 4. International red 5. Ruby's kiss The first wine was very light and bland tasting for my opinion. My boyfriend loved it and actually bought a bottle of it. Summer fields was sweeter but definitely a lighter style wine. Three tasted like a Christmas season mulled wine but was absolutely delicious. Four was a very dry wine. I left that for my boyfriend to drink as I was not a fan. He enjoyed it and said it was crisp and a nice cold red. Ruby's kiss as always is delicious and a great drink. Taking away a star because we had politely asked our service what the Apple Dave's Distillery was next door and she responded with such attitude and disgust that was asked "that's an entirely separate business" and then abruptly left our table. Not sure what the issue was asking a simple question but it left a weird vibe I did not enjoy.

However we did purchase some blueberry jam, Merlot soup and a Chardonnay candle. Yes they had that. Very unique. Even though we did not purchase any wine we had an excellent tasting experience.

-1st Visit to Ocean Vineyards was almost 3 years ago. The…read moretasting room was a small housing area in the back with outdoor table and chairs. At that time, the flights were served in "glasses" as they should be. Please see attached photos. -7/4/25 (2nd Visit) We came for the Fourth of July holiday. When we arrived at the winery, we noticed the winery appeared to be much larger. Later, we realized that this was an addition to the original tasting room. We came to the counter. I asked if they had wine flights. The young woman informed me that 4 tastings were $20 and 6 for $30. She was absolutely delightful. So we chose the 6 for $30. This flight was given to us in "plastic containers". I'd like to say that there were quite a few people in the winery. However, I noticed that they didn't order flights. That being said, I think they could've taken the time out to have the flights in glasses. After ther flight, I ordered a "glass"of the Traminette $10. It was served in plastic cup. I did mention to the server that it should be in a "wine glass". She poured the wine from the plastic cup into the glass. (At this point, the plastic negatively affects wine by altering its taste, aroma, and overall quality). I'm sure "management" has given instructions to their employees on how to serve wine flights etc... So I'm not faulting the servers. During our visit, we shared a chicken sandwich. It was very good. All the servers behind the counter were very courteous and sweet. My issue is with the management. I don't know what happened from a couple years ago to now, maybe management change? My photos from almost 3 years ago, show the flight served in glasses, not plastic. Anyway, we did have a very nice visit despite the issue with the plastic. The grounds of the vineyards are very nice to walk about. We did walk back to the original wine tasting building. It was totally refurbished from our original visit. A large picturesque tree stump parking lot is in front of the winery. Oceane Vineyards has a lot of wonderful potential. Some of their wines we thought were good. In fact, we purchased a very nice bottle of 2017 Riesling $30.00. I would've given the winery a higher score, if the flight and glass of wine weren't in plastic.

Chester, NY - we were here over Mother's Day weekend and enjoyed such a lovely afternoon! The…read moreestate is sprawling, with sweeping lawns, a spacious brewery & restaurant housed inside a beautiful converted stable, a tasting room, and of course, vineyards. The tasting room is easy to miss as it's in a house in the back, and felt like we stumbled upon a hidden gem as most people were out by the barn. We arrived before sunset and enjoyed sipping on a flight of 6 wines while watching the sun go down. The views are scenic and serene...one can imagine almost being transported to the hills of Italy. As it was the cusp of twilight, what was really neat was that we got to see the sunset on one side and the moonrise on the other. For our flight, we tried the following wines: Whites: 1. NY Hibernette 2. Cali Chardonnay 3. Riesling Reds: 1. California Rosé 2. California Pinot Noir 3. Cali Cabernet Sauvignon The rosé was probably my favorite, so clear and fragrant, and we took a bottle home. John who I think is the manager (guy with shaved head and goatee) was very personable and came by to check on the customers and chat, and told us a bit about the history of the place. The property is 200 acres and is a passionate project of the owner Tom. There is lots of space for littles to run around and explore, with some games and toys set out for kids. The atmosphere is relaxed but lively, and there was a band playing. The rustic aesthetic of the barn is very cool, with several stalls to hang out in if you wanted to retreat to a more private space, and an event hall upstairs. We got nibblish toward the end of the evening and the kitchen was about to close, but they were kind to still take the orders of a couple of late stragglers like us. The food is typical bar fare, good enough for sopping up alcohol. Staff were all kind, welcoming, and accommodating. 5 stars for the fantastic atmosphere, hospitality, and experience. Located near Sugar Loaf and Warwick NY, with plenty to do in the area!

Locating the winery, we were happy to find ample parking and gorgeous views. We walked along a nice…read morepath to the entrance to the separate tasting building off of a residential house. Upon entering, it looked more like a wine store than a typical winery tasting bar area. Cramped with lots of liquor, oils, and wines-with loads of signs around displaying the 'rules of the winery' (not your typical intoxicated people won't get served, but literal how he does the tasting rules) Entering the winery, we overheard the owner speaking with another group. He sounded passionate; discussing 'old world wine' and had a lot of wines to run through ...we got our hopes up-but our excitement quickly went away. Our tasting experience was very disappointing. We checked in with our passport (the normal tasting would have been $7 for 7 wines), and we informed of the many rules posted around (like no sharing), and learned apparently another rule is no choosing which wines. The man just started pouring: "Wine 1-a white" "....when we asked what kind of white, what kind of wine, grapes, flavor, etc. we got a grumpy (unintelligible) response. He merely moved onto "wine 2-a sweet". We asked for a tasting sheet to understand what we had in front of us, and he became even grumpier. We noticed there were more dry whites and lots of dry reds, and meekly asked to only do the dry reds. Out of nowhere he brings out bottles of random balsamic vinegar and vanilla extract and suggested we try these instead of wine-but we declined. Maybe we should have because the dry red wines he poured tasted as if they were all skunked. They tasted like took pre-used barrels from making his liquor to make one same red table wine, and then bottled this same wine into a variety of different labels based on it being from a different barrel each. Worst wine we've even had. We weren't given the time to learn anything about the wine, heck he wouldn't even tell us what some blends were blended with. We'd ask and he'd merely repeat the name of the wine and move on to the next. We were pushed in and out in less than 10 minutes.

The clincher was that the woman who ran it was very unfriendly to us- she was not polite and didn't seem to want to answer many questions, making us feel like we were unwanted there.

Plenty of dedicated parking,so easy to get to. Overall,a nice quick pitstop while spending time around Chatham!

Don't sleep on Rebel Sheep! This is a brand new winery located at Stony Hill Farms. But it's not…read morejust a little tasting area inside a farmers market. This is a legitimate winery operation with an extensive menu of wines by the glass and bottle, flights, cheese boards, homemade ice cream, ice cream wine floats (yes, you read that correctly) and so much more. All of the wine is fruit based so you can find things like peach wines, apple wines, berry wines, etc. Perfectly refreshing for summer. Hubs and I each had a flight plus got a bunch of things to take home. Needless to say, we tried a lot of their wine and we loved it all. The homemade ice cream is also standout and the strawberry was decadent. My kids were over the moon about it. The space is big and beautiful! The indoor tap room has lots of seating, and then there's a large outdoor area with tons of picnic tables and space to roam around. They have live music outside, and the views of the farm are gorgeous. There's also tons of play areas on the farm, so if you come with your kids they won't get bored. There are strict rules on keeping the wine within the winery area only, but this is definitely not surprising for NJ and their tough liquor laws. Overall - it's incredibly cool to see a full fledged winery like this pop up on a farm. Besides just serving wine they are keeping the calendar stacked with events and music. The staff is friendly. The wine is delicious. And it was a fun place to take my kids with all of the things to do on the farm. It's safe to say we'll be back, and I'm excited to watch them grow as word gets around.
