A New Harvest for Terhune Orchards

It’s always a family affair at Terhune Orchards and now there’s truly something for everyone on the farm. Send the kids off to pet the animals while you step into the tasting barn to enjoy the new crop of wines fresh from the vineyard. The Mount Family began preparing for this day four years ago when they planted their first fields of grape vines. Now, the grapes have been harvested, blended, pressed, bottled and aged into seven distinctly different varieties of local wine. Stop by for a visit and a taste. For just $5 you can sample five different wines including Chardonnay, Vidal Blanc, Apple Wine, Front Porch Breeze, Cold Soil White, Chambourcin and Barn Red and for $3 more they’ll throw in a keepsake Terhune Orchards wine glass.


Local Wines & Local Cheese
Host an autumn local wine & cheese party for neighbors and friends. A pairing of Terhune Orchards wines and Cherry Grove Cheeses is a great way to both celebrate and enjoy the local harvest while supporting New Jersey agriculture and open space.


A few great local pairings……

Terhune Vidal Blanc (Bronze medal winner - NJ State Wine Competition 2010) with Cherry Grove Herdsman

Terhune Chambourcin (medium-bodied red with good fruit flavor and peppery finish) with Cherry Grove Full Nettle Jack


Terhune Cold Soil White (crisp, sweet white; excellent aperitif or after dinner) with Cherry Grove Shippentaukin Blue

Cheers to Autumn!
