Terhune Orchards is a winery in Lawrence Township (mailing address is Princeton) in Mercer County, New Jersey.[2][3] A family produce farm since 1975, the vineyard was first planted in 2003, and opened to the public in 2010.[2][4] Terhune has 5 acres of grapes under cultivation, and produces an estimated 1,100 cases of wine per year.[1][5] The winery is named for the family that formerly owned the farm.[2][6]

Wines and other products

Terhune produces wine from Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chambourcin, Chardonnay, Niagara, Orange Muscat, Traminette, and Vidal blanc grapes. Terhune makes fruit wines from apples, blueberries, and peaches.[5][7] The farm also produces fruits, vegetables, flowers, pies, breads, and cookies.[8][9] The winery is not located in one of New Jersey's three viticultural areas.[5]

Licensing and associations

Terhune has a plenary winery license from the New Jersey Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control, which allows it to produce an unrestricted amount of wine, operate up to 15 off-premises sales rooms, and ship up to 12 cases per year to consumers in-state or out-of-state.[10][11] The winery is a member of the Garden State Wine Growers Association and its subsidiary, Vintage North Jersey.[12][13]
