Terra Nonno Winery: A Taste of Family Heritage in Rosenhayn, NJ

For the wine enthusiast seeking a blend of rich family history and exceptional New Jersey wines, Terra Nonno Winery offers a compelling destination in Rosenhayn, Southern New Jersey. The name “Terra Nonno” translates to “grandfather’s land,” a fitting tribute to the legacy of Adamo Natale Pipitone, who settled in Rosenhayn in the early 1900s and began farming the land that is now home to the vineyard. While the family’s farming roots run deep, Terra Nonno Winery officially bottled its first batch of wine from its initial 2016 harvest on April 14th, 2018, marking its formal establishment as a winery.

Distinguishing Features for the Discerning Palate:

• Deep Family Roots: The winery is a generational endeavor, with the land passed down from grandfather to father to the current owner, carrying forward a legacy of passion for agriculture and winemaking. This personal connection imbues their wines with a unique story and dedication.
• Estate-Grown Grapes: A significant portion of their wines are crafted from grapes grown on their approximately nine-acre vineyard, ensuring quality control and a true expression of the New Jersey terroir.
• Diverse Wine Portfolio: Terra Nonno offers a range of wines to suit various preferences, including an Oaked Chardonnay with subtle French oak and lively acidity, the popular “Godfather’s Blend” (a smooth red blend of Cab Franc and Chambourcin), and “Trinity Blend” (another unique dry red blend). They also produce a distinctive “Mom’s Mango Wine” and a “Blue Eyes Wine” (blueberry wine), showcasing their creativity. Their “Vidisha’s Masala” liqueur, with its perfumed brown spices, has received accolades, sweeping the 2025 American Craft Spirits Association Spirits Competition.
• Beautiful Tasting Room & Outdoor Space: Guests consistently praise the attractive indoor tasting room, featuring large windows with vineyard views and a fireplace for cozy winter visits. There is also an inviting, expansive covered patio, ideal for enjoying wine outdoors.
