Ventimiglia Vineyard

High Point White


A bottle of white wine from Worthington Vineyards.Grapes: A blend of grapes including Cayuga, LaCrescent, Frontenac Gris.

Taste/Nose: The sweetest of our wines here, but really considered a semi-sweet wine overall. The blend results in a sweet but complex wine with a wonderful finish. Nice acidity on the nose.

Food Pair: I love this wine with spicy food or deserts… like shortcake.

Label: The 220 ft monument at High Point State Park marks the highest point in NJ and is a monument to all war veterans completed in 1930. Drawn by Erin Kelly.

Misc: For Dry Wine drinkers this is a dessert wine, for sweet wine drinkers this is good for any day at any time. This is a sweet wine without the syrupy feel.

Price: $18.00

White Wines


$15.00 | Aromas of citrus, almonds, a bit floral and a whiff of oak. Very soft yet crisp mouth feel.

$16.00 | Dry White wine, fruity but with refreshing finish - LOVE the flavor and finish of the natural, dry Cayuga.

$17.00 | Bright opening with lots of fruit, but still dry. This wine, although dry, is a wine many sweet wine drinkers like because of the fruit flavors.

$18.00 | A bit of apricot & spice from the traminette grape. Made from 100% Sussex County grapes!

$18.00 | A blend of grapes including Cayuga, LaCrescent, Frontenac Gris. The sweetest of our wines here, but considered a semi-sweet wine overall. Sweet but complex wine with a wonderful finish.

Red Wines


$17.00 | Blend of Marquette, Landau, Chambourcin, Marechal Foch, Concord, Frontenac grapes. A good table wine in general, definitely for the dry wine lover.

$21.00 | A simple, earthy wine with black fruitiness bouquet. Well balanced. This is a good everyday wine. It can go with any food, or stand on its own.

$27.00 | Smooth and easy, but complex taste that lingers in your mouth. Leaves a warming finish. Nose is aromatic, carrying fruits and a touch of spice.

$35.00 | A blast of fruit in front with a mellow, quick finish. Woody/oak overtones, perhaps even a bit of almond on the nose.

$35.00 | Old Vine Zin, Petite Syrah, Carignane grapes. A smooth, full bodied red. Bold, dark, acidic nose with a bit of fruit to almost give it a sweetness. The finish is almost vanilla or leathery.

Our Tradition


People enjoying drinks at a cozy bar counter.

The hand-crafted wine making of Ventimiglia Vineyard continues a family tradition passed down for generations. Our wines are made in small batches with carefully selected, top quality grapes. We use oak barrels and minimal chemical or mechanical intervention. Artful blending promotes optimal flavors, aroma, and finish. Our aim is to let you enjoy the delicious wine we share at our own table.

“Our aim is to let you enjoy the delicious wine we share at our own table.”

Our founder and devoted winemaker, Gene Ventimiglia, was influenced at a young age by the European winemaking traditions which his grandfather, Eugenio Ventimiglia, brought to this country at the turn of the last century. For over thirty years, Gene had been making delicious wines to enjoy at home with his family and friends.

Our dream to share our high quality, hand crafted wine has finally come true. In August 2006, with Federal Permit and New Jersey Winery license in hand, Gene and his wife, Anne, along with their family and good friends, began professional winemaking at Ventimiglia Vineyard in Wantage, New Jersey.
