Cedarvale Winery: A Legacy of Farming and Fine Wine in Swedesboro, NJ

For the wine enthusiast seeking an authentic taste of New Jersey’s agricultural heritage, Cedarvale Winery offers a unique and welcoming experience. This family-owned and operated establishment, rooted in a farm that has been in the Gaventa Family since 1905, officially opened its winery doors to the public on October 8, 2008, with its first vineyard planted in 2004. Overseen by 4th generation farmer, enologist, and viticulturist Ed Gaventa, alongside tasting room and events manager Marsha Gaventa, Cedarvale seamlessly blends a rich farming legacy with modern winemaking.

Distinctive Features for the Discerning Visitor:
