8 Dog Friendly NJ Wineries to Day Trip from Hoboken & Jersey City

Are you looking to get out of town for the day and want to do something a little different?  Check out these 7 NJ wineries that you can easily make a day trip to with your dog (or horse as one Vineyard says).  I have always loved going to the wineries, sitting in the open are surrounded by the sounds of nature while I sip my glass of wine.

These days, it feels like my dog isn’t allowed anywhere. Many wineries don’t allow dogs inside their tasting rooms or even on the property which can be frustrating when you want your dog to come along.  However, this isn’t always the case. I put together a list of wineries that welcome dogs to their property so you can enjoy some fresh air, some wine and a lovely day-cation with your dog by your side.

  1. Working Dog Winery – Hightsown, NJ
  2. Old York Cellars – Ringoes, NJ
  3.  Southwind Vineyard – Millville, NJ
  4. Balic Winery – Mays Landing, NJ
  5. Cream Ridge Winery – Creame Ridge, NJ
  6. White Horse Winery – Hammonton, NJ
  7. Iron Plow Vineyards – Mt. Holly, NJ
  8. Fox Hollow Vineyards – Holmdel, NJ
