Hopewell Valley Vineyards

Outside atmosphere is breathtaking. Great service. Good wine. Great pizza!

The wine and food are amazing but the owner not so much. Ok, we get no outside food but we were sitting nowhere near the establishment and we're separated by a parking lot. We had six people and bought three pizzas and three bottles of wine at over $100. The owner walked by three times and said nothing until a waitress told her we had some outside snacks. The funny thing is we were getting up to buy three more bottles when she approached us. Her demeanor was rude and frankly very direct as if we were three. Ask nicely or simply explain the policy. It wasn't in any signs and we hadn't know since every winery we've ever been to let's you have snacks. We're reasonable, we get COVID impacted business but we're paying customers who we're spending money. It's not what was said, it's how it was said and approached that made us decide we would never be back. It's a shame because we like it there and have been there a few times. But, shout out to Paul, he was polite, took our photo and was personable and should be credited with his sense of respect toward patrons.

I wish i could give them 10 STARS!!! I corresponded with Jess, the Group Manager, a handful of times via email. She always replied quickly and offered great suggestions and advice. (She even stopped by our table to say Hi). We had a group for a Bachelorette Party and were beyond lucky to get Violetta, the owner, for our tasting. We had a private table on the deck and were under a tent. I can't say enough about the knowledge, hospitality, and warmth of V. She made us feel like we were part of her European family!! We selected 6 wines (a mix of reds and whites) for our tasting and V explained every one in detail adding to our experience. (They were delicious, by the way). After the tasting we ordered 4 pizzas, buratta, spanakopita, and bread service. Everything was amazing!!! Cheers to an ah-mazing NJ winery with top notch service! We can't wait to go back to visit!

I'm sorry I didn't mean to submit a 1 star review, I'm not sure how that happened. The vineyard was great! Very nice atmosphere and live music paired great wine and food.

Great experience at this winery. They had plentiful seating, many tables with umbrellas/or in shade. Easy process for ordering and staff was all wearing masks. Tables were further than 6 feet apart making a comfortable experience. The owner was very sweet and invested in the customers experience. She was friendly, accommodating and unafraid to jump in and help pour buckets of ice, clean tables, etc. She checked on each table personally. Very dog friendly as well! Overall great experience and wine was tasty too. Would highly recommend.
