Local Wine Belongs at the Farm Market
Why Local Wine Belongs at the Farm Market
Robson’s Farm grows fruits and vegetables. Brick Farm Market bakes delicious breads. Tre Piani makes mozzarella.
Unionville Vineyards produces wine.
What could be simpler than bread, cheese, and wine? What could be more delicious? In the height of farm market season, when the tomatoes are ripe, red, and juicy, making dinner just gets so much easier. Even early in the season, with local greens and strawberries, salads are simple and delicious. And have you tried kohlrabi? Try it.
The local winery belongs at markets alongside the farm, bakery, and dairy. Wine is meant to be paired with food (ask Andrew at the Unionville stand for some recommendations – you’re sure to leave hungry). Our wine is meant to be consumed with friends and family over shared meals.
And our wine belongs at your local farm market.

We are farmers. Unionville manages 54 acres of vineyard.
We take great pride in using responsible agricultural management practices. We use models to minimize pesticide applications, and we employ preventative cultural practices. Currently, we are working with the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station (NJAES) on a trial of Italian varieties and also with the New Jersey Department of Agriculture to monitor grapevine pests. NJAES also installed a weather station at our site. Data gathered from this station will be useful not only to Unionville, but to all in the industry.
Furthermore, Unionville is a proud member of the NJ Farmers' Direct Marketing Association. We sell most of our wines directly to you, the consumer. Check out our profile on the visit NJ Farms website. - We are foodies. We love food. We love talking about food. We love cooking and often use our own wines! TIP: The red wines are great for marinating meats (or tempeh, a vegetarian alternative).
- We are interested in teaching people about where wine comes from and how it is made. Our Single Vineyard series in particular showcases local terroir. Grapes used in making any one of these wines are sourced from a single site, allowing for an exquisite expression of the local environment. Our winemaker works his magic in making truly creative and delicious blends.
Unionville wines are artisan and hand-crafted, truly reflective of local people and place. We love interacting with customers, as well as fellow farmers and foodies, at farm markets throughout the state.

The Best Wines are the Ones You Fight For
We picked from 5am that day until a little past midnight, almost 19 hours of harvesting. The pick was only interrupted for bathroom breaks, pizza, and eventually some beers to keep morale high. I think the high morale beer was Miller High Life, although the details are fuzzy and it would only have been selected ironically. It was the most tenacious day I can recall in the field here. We picked nearly 10 tons from three different vineyards, finishing with the Pheasant Hill Chardonnay. We saran wrapped the bins during transport and weighing back at the winery as Ophelia's first raindrops splashed down just after midnight.
