It's nice to know that I have a winery local to me! Fox Hollow Vineyards is located in Holmdel, NJ…read more I visited on a warm Sunday in August with a group of ladies from a social club I'm apart of. There's several different seating areas indoors and outdoors. They have a few different areas where you can purchase drinks as well. Inside, you can order food. I decided to go with a white wine flight and a Margherita pizza. The pizza was okay, nothing spectacular, but it was satisfying. I enjoyed the wine and the ambiance of the place. My favorite thing, however, was the wine slushies! I probably should've started with those. If you're looking for a place to have a relaxing day out, Fox Hollow is the place!

We went to the back to do some wine tasting and you get 10 wines to taste! None of the ones I've visited gives that many choices. The lady who helped us was very social and attentive. She made the experience even better. We ended up buying glasses of wine. I think I got peach riesling but they were all good. We also purchased crackers, cheese, meats, and chips to have a little charcuterie set up. It's a bummer they don't offer it in a menu! Since we visited right before Thanksgiving we bought a bottle of Jersey Berry and it was a hit! I will definitely be back.

I've heard they have new owners, and unfortunately, the flies were absolutely awful. When the porta potties are cleaner than the facility and restrooms, that really says something There had to be at least 30-50 flies in every bathroom, the porta potties were cleaner worh no flies and there were flies all over the grounds as well. GROSS. I completely understand that it's an outdoor winery and that sweet wines can attract bugs, but this was on a completely different level than anything we've experienced there before. Hopefully, the new owners address the issue maybe bringing in a pest control company to treat the grounds would help, because it was BAD. Hopefully this was just a one -time issue, because we've always enjoyed coming here in the past!

Grape beginnings is a hands- on winery located in Eatontown. If you want to make your own wine:…read moresuch as California or Washington State Reds, whites, red blends and Italian style, this might be the place to try. You get access, according to them, some of the finest grapes from Premier Wine making regions. You use the winery grade equipment and winemaking techniques. This includes bottles, corks and decorative caps in a variety of colors. You get five hands on winemaking sessions over a 10 month period assisted by their experienced and award-winning winemaker, again, according to them. This experience will cost you, depending on how many bottles you want to buy. For example if you want to make/buy 12 bottles, it will cost you $240 or $20 per bottle. On the other end of that spectrum if you want to make/buy a full barrel, it will cost you $3000 which translates to 240 bottles at $12.50 per bottle. Both of these examples are called the Signature Series. There is a more expensive option called the Vineyard Series. In this series you cannot make/buy 12 bottles but must make/buy a qtr, half, or full barrel. Caveat: all monies must be paid up front. Read the fine print and go make some vino. For me? No!!!!!!!! really not interested.

Never knew that there were people who paid to do the hard work of wine making. Yes, my friend paid…read morethis winery for the "privilege" of making wine himself. The experience was surprisingly fun! We got to crush grapes in a machine, then pour it into a barrel, then come back to put pressure on the barrel to squeeze the wine out, and we're now waiting to go back for bottling. Prices are okay per bottle, but that's if you buy an entire barrel or half a barrel, which can end up being quite a bit of money. Good luck drinking all that wine - good thing wine usually gets better with time.

It was empty, save for another couple and a group of four. Their service was super friendly, and they have games inside that you can play. We opted to sit outside under the umbrellas, as it was nice outside. We decided to start off with a tasting of four, which was $15. It ended being enough for the two of us, as it was quite sweet. The coffee mead was a bit whiskey tasting and I wasn't a fan of the traditional, it had a mouthwash like aftertaste.
