Hopewell Valley Vineyards

Hopewell Valley Vineyards is a 75-acre winery and event estate set at the base of the Sourland Mountains near Pennington, New Jersey. Established in 2001 by Sergio and Violetta Neri, the vineyard draws on three generations of Tuscan winemaking tradition, cultivating 20 acres of wine grapes on clay-loam soil and producing an award-winning portfolio of both classic vinifera and regionally adapted varieties. The property offers several distinct event spaces — a Tuscan-inspired Upper Tasting Room with vaulted ceilings and a covered deck overlooking the vineyards, an industrial Tank Room surrounded by stainless steel fermentation tanks, a Lower Tasting Room with a musical stage and brick oven, and a seasonal 40' × 80' covered pole tent framed by vineyard views. The spaces host bridal and baby showers, birthdays, anniversaries, rehearsal dinners, corporate events, and weddings. In-house catering draws from a Mediterranean-inspired menu with American appetizers, complemented by brick-oven pizza on weekends. All wine served on the property is made exclusively on-site, grounding every event in the vineyard's own harvest.
