Getting sick of going bar hopping? Try some some wine activities! There are a number of places to try in the North Jersey area that will mix things up in your life.
1. Uncorked, Totowa, NJ - I recently came to here have a glass of wine with my friends. It is a wine bar, but they also have a full stocked bar (all liquors and beer) so everyone will be happy. You can sip wine by the glass or buy it by the bottle sitting at their high top tables, or lounging on their couches. They are located next to Kafe Neo, so as you enjoy wine, you can indulge in food as well because they offer to serve their food at Uncorked. It is definitely a classy alternative, and the average glass is about $8 to $12, but if you have the option to buy a bottle, making a glass as little as $5.
2. Warwick Winery, Warwick, NY - Although this is in NY, it is a must to go to! The best time to go is in the fall, when the leaves start to fall and the apples start blooming. You can buy wine by the bottle, and sip away outside and enjoy the beautiful ambiance. You can also buy desserts of all kinds and go apple picking!
3. Your Own Winery, Riverdale, NJ - This place is brand new and looks awesome! I have not got the chance to try it yet, but this summer I will definitely hit this new hot spot with my friends. At Your Own Winery, you are able to create your own wine! You start by sampling different wines at their wine bar (for free) until you pick one that you like. After that, they give you a ready-to-ferment kit so that you don't have to crush grapes with your feet! Then the process starts, taking 6 to 8 weeks, and making 3 to 4 trips to check in and handle the next step in completing your wine. But at the end of it all, you choose everything, right down to the label, and it is your own, unique wine.
