Waretown Wine Festival

Because of covid-19 restrictions and concerns, this event has been cancelled. In light of recent events, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, organizers of New Jersey’s most popular wine festivals have been cancelled as a result of restrictions and concerns. Sylvia Allen, organizer of the event, says “The safety, health and well-being of our eventgoers and vendors are always our utmost priority.

We look forward to seeing everyone this fall, and we send our well wishes to all during this difficult time. We will get through this.”

The Waretown Wine Festivalis an exciting events that features samplings from a variety of award-winning wineries from throughout the Garden State, in addition to live entertainment, crafters, retail vendors, and great food truck vendors. (The events are still accepting crafters but have filled the food vendor spots.) Some of the featured New Jersey wines from last year’s events include Chestnut Run Farms, DiMatteo Vineyards, Valenzano Winery, Plagido's Winery, Wagonhouse Winery, White Horse Winery, and Villari Vineyards. All net proceeds have been donated to Sylvia’s Children, a Holmdel-based 501(c)3 organization working over the past two decades to improve the living conditions of more than 2,000 children in Uganda 25% of whom are orphans.
