Great little local winery and vineyard. Our volunteer sever was great. Beautiful grounds to have a picnic and trails to walk. We were here on a rainy day but the tasting is under a tent so crisis averted. The wines were diverse in grapes and flavor profile. The prices were great and they prefer cash but accept cards. Can't wait to come back in better weather and enjoy some time.

This is the wine tasting room or bar area. Very nice inside.

Cool place we stumbled upon kinda. We were in the area of high point state park and looked for a local winery. The place was great we got 10 tastings for $10 and they gave us a plate of chocolates. The man behind the bar was very friendly. And the people also there for the tasting were nice also. They offered us some cheese that they had.

Just another day in paradise...

First, this family is passionate about their wines! Incredible attention to detail and quality is the hallmark of great vino and these folks are all about making great wine. Also, a visit to their winery feels like you are at a family picnic because they treat you so well. You can sit out amongst the vines and sip great wine with your friends. If you do not have any friends don't worry because this place puts everyone in the friendly mood! Finally, forget what you may think about wines at a NJ winery. Gene and family are turning out liquid gold. One sip and you will believe!

Most NJ wines are fruity and sweet, well Ventimiglia wines are truly the exception. If you like well balanced, mature and re-fined wines then you will truly appreciate Ventimiglia Wines. They have a wonderful mouth feel, giving you a lovely finish. Gene the wine maker is truly a magician at blending wines, ensuring that each varietal that is added to the blend improves the overall balance of the blend. The winery is located in a beautiful part of NJ, in Sussex county. It is a lovely drive, and a perfect location for a picnic. Visiting the winery is like visiting a dear friends house, because Gene is so gracious. His knowledge of wine making is impressive, and he is clearly passionate about wine making and his wines. As one reviewer noted very often when I have visited wineries in Ca, NY, or Az, there are one or two wines that really make me say... WOW... . This is just not the case with Ventimigilia wines, each one is distinct, and well balanced. it is very hard for me to visit the winery and not come home with a case of wine. I have had many Cabernet franc wines from NJ and have never found one I liked, but His Cabernet Franc is outstanding, Medium body with some light fruit and just enough tannins to make it a pleasure to drink,. If you like an old school full bodied blend then the Fratelli blend is for you, with cab fran, cab sav, and merlot. Now i like whites but am often disappointed with NJ whites, either they are really sweet or have no body. This is not the case with gene's whites, his chardonnay is the perfect summer white, nice medium body, not overwhelming oak and just enough brightness to make you take notice. The winery was featured at the 2010 crystal spring food and wine festival, take a look http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYQcF_CVzew&feature=share

Walk around the property a bit if you like

One of my top three wineries in New Jersey I recommend visiting this winery. I'm a red lover but also enjoyed their whites. The owner stayed he doesn't like to be bored while he was giving us a tasting, which you can tell from the variety and complexity of their wines.

What a delight off the beaten path down a gravel driveway. A tiny vineyard with some outside seating and a small tasting room. Had a fantastic time with Diane who not only was knowledgeable about the wines but gave us insight into the owners. Tastings are 5 for $5. Or all 14 wines for $10. We optted for the 5 since we had plans for another stop today. Enjoyed all 5. Prices range from $13 to $37. Loved the history behind the Carignane. Almost all grapes are New Jersey grown. Will make another trip just to meet Gene & Anne and enjoy all 14. This is the only winery worth visiting in the area.

-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!
