Good times and great beverages await along the Warren County Grains and Grapes Trail!
(POHATCONG TOWNSHIP, NJ – February 20, 2026) – Warren County’s producers of crafted beer, wine and spirits launched a passport program that rewards patrons for visiting their locations.
The program kicked off with an event at Alba Vineyard in Pohatcong, one of the five wineries, four breweries and one distillery that comprise the Warren County Grains & Grapes Trail. This is the second time the trail partners have conducted a passport promotion.
“We’re so glad we’re doing this again,” Warren County Commissioner Director Lori Ciesla said during the passport kickoff. The Warren County Grains & Grapes Trail is coordinated by County government’s Explore Warren County Tourism Partnership.
Ciesla noted that residents and visitors might know one or two of the trail locations, but the passport program will help introduce them to all the others.
While visiting the locations, patrons can enjoy live entertainment, trivia nights and other activities as well as the high quality wines, beers, and distilled spirits that are made within Warren County, often using locally grown ingredients.
“The Grains & Grapes Trail showcases what makes Warren County special,” said Commissioner James R. Kern III, who attended the passport kickoff with Director Ciesla. “As winter begins to thaw, residents and visitors alike can travel our countryside, stop at our wineries, breweries, and distillery, meet the makers, and truly experience our rural character,” Kern remarked.
From now through April 30, customers visiting the 10 locations on the Warren County Grains & Grapes trail, which are sprinkled throughout the county, will get a stamp on the Grains & Grapes Passport for spending $15 at each stop. Customers who collect all 10 stamps will receive a custom tote bag, decorated with the Warren County Grains & Grapes Trail logo on one side and the logos of the 10 trail members on the other.
All who complete the passport also will be entered into a drawing for the grand prize, a Yeti Tundra 35 cooler, supplied by LOST Goods and Gear of Belvidere, NJ, along with $50 gift cards from each of the 10 trail partners as well as from LOST and its companion store, FOUND The Art of Home. The Grand Prize has a value of $875 and the prize drawing will take place publicly in May.
Passports are available at the 10 stops on the Grains & Grapes Trail:
Passports also are available at the Explore Warren office, Warren County Public Information Department, in the Wayne Dumont Jr. Administration Building, Belvidere (White Township).
Participants must be at least 21 years of age, and have until April 30 to obtain stamps at all locations and present their completed passports. The locations can be visited in any order.
Audrey Gambino, proprietor Villa Milagro Vineyards, also serves on the Board of Directors of the Garden State Wine Growers Association and said her fellow board members were very impressed that the County was involved and supporting its breweries, wineries and distillery, something that doesn’t happen elsewhere in the state.
“We’re very thrilled that Warren County and its county leadership is taking on a role to promote local agricultural products,” Gambino said.
