Cumberland, Cape May, Atlantic, and Ocean counties and portions of
Salem, Gloucester, Camden, Burlington, and Monmouth counties.

winters, and a relatively long growing season. Most of the NJ wineries
are located in this area and produce some of the best red wines in NJ.
- Central
Delaware Valley, straddles the Delaware River with Its southern
boundary near Titusville, just north of Trenton, and its northern border
is near Musconetcong Mountain. With a slightly colder climate than the
Outer Coastal Plain, they produce more white wines than it's southern

growing season. White wines do better here than the two other areas
While there are more than 40 varieties of wine growing in New Jersey, the top ten NJ wines produced are:
Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chambourcin, Cabernet Franc, Riesling, Pinot Gris, Merlot, Syrah, and Concord.
