"The Garden State Wine Growers Association: representing 60+ wineries and vineyards across New Jersey: is rolling out the red carpet (or should we say, the wine-stained barrel mat?) with the Wine & Chocolate Trail Weekend, happening February 13-15, 2026. Whether you're planning a couples' retreat, a Galentine's celebration, or just need an excuse to drink wine at noon on a Sunday, this weekend has something special for everyone."
"The state's wine regions span from the Cape May Peninsula in the south (hello, beachside rosé) to the glacial soils of Hunterdon and Warren Counties along the Delaware River in the north. These diverse terroirs produce everything from Austrian varieties like Blaufrankisch and Riesling to Italian classics like Nebbiolo and Sangiovese. Plus, you're supporting local producers who are doing innovative work with both traditional and trending wine styles, including natural wines and Pet-Nats."
The Wine & Chocolate Trail Weekend runs February 13–15, 2026, at more than 60 New Jersey wineries and vineyards. The Garden State Wine Growers Association is presenting paired wine-and-chocolate experiences in romantic vineyard settings. New Jersey’s wine regions extend from the Cape May Peninsula to the glacial soils of Hunterdon and Warren Counties, producing varieties like Blaufrankisch, Riesling, Nebbiolo, and Sangiovese. Local producers are experimenting with traditional styles as well as natural wines and Pet-Nats. The weekend appeals to couples and friend groups and offers hospitality professionals a chance to discover new producers and build relationships with winemakers.
