Description

This was taken at another winery in New Jersey, called Laurita Winery in New Egypt. You can see all of this New Jersey Vineyard in this shot, rows and rows of grapes growing on their vines, waiting for harvest season. It is a great place to visit in any season.
New Egypt is located in Plumstead Township in Ocean County, New Jersey.
The vineyeard was formerly a dairy farm and was first planted in 1998, opened in 2008. They are one of the larger wineries in New Jersey with 44 acres and producing 14,000 cases of wine each year. The name is a combination of the owners' mothers Laura and Rita.
They produce wine from the following grapes: Albariño, Blaufränkisch (Lemberger), Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chambourcin, Chardonnay, Grenache, Merlot, Norton (Cynthiana), Pinot gris, and Zweigelt.
They also make a fruit wine with strawberries and milk as well as a dessert wine. It is the only winery in New Jersey producing dairy based wine. They have a 10 suite bed and breakfast and a bistro that sells a variety of food.
