Auburn Road Vineyards, Vineyard and winery in Pilesgrove, New Jersey
Auburn Road Vineyards is a winery in Salem County's rural landscape that produces red, white, and rose wines from grapes grown in its own fields. The property includes a main building, vineyard rows, and outdoor spaces where visitors can walk through the grounds and taste wines.
The vineyard was established to introduce sustainable farming methods to Salem County's wine production. This represented a shift in the region, combining modern techniques with established winemaking practices.
The name Auburn Road refers to the location of this estate along that historic street in the region. The property is run by founder Julianne Donnini, who merges European dining traditions with locally produced wine, welcoming daily visitors with food prepared on the grounds.
The estate is open several days a week, with extended hours on weekends, and visitors should make online reservations in advance, especially if planning to enjoy the dining experience. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended since the grounds feature natural paths and grass areas throughout the vineyard.
The property operates wood-fired ovens where pizzas and specialty flatbreads are made and served right next to the vineyard rows. This blend of wine production and artisanal pizza making sets it apart from typical wine estates in the area.
