The Two Bridges Wine, Beer & Spirits Trail is designed for friends. Your group will find everything from a smooth rye whiskey, to a juicy IPA, to a buttery Chardonnay. You’ll discover drinks you never knew you loved, and local businesses that appreciate your support.
The Outer Coastal Plain American Viticultural Area (AVA)
The wineries in this region are part of the Outer Coastal Plain American Viticultural Area (AVA), a federal designation signifying a recognized wine grape growing region that is unique and beneficial to grape growing. The Outer Coastal Plain AVA of New Jersey has climatic and soil conditions which are among the best on the East Coast for producing high-quality wine. The 2,250,000 acres includes all of Cumberland, Cape May, Atlantic, and Ocean counties and portions of Salem, Gloucester, Camden, Burlington, and Monmouth counties. New Jersey’s nickname, the Garden State, derives largely from the more than 100-year history of growing fruits and vegetables in this area which supplies such produce to the mid-Atlantic region and as far north as Montreal. The wineries of the AVA are producing award-winning wines with vinifera, French-American hybrids, and native-American grapes. Take your tour of the Two Bridges Trail to start tasting them today.
