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

[edit]

Terhune produces wine from Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chambourcin, Chardonnay, Niagara, Orange Muscat, Traminette, and Vidal blanc grapes. Terhune also makes fruit wines from apples, blueberries, and peaches.[5][7] Additionally, the farm produces and sells bread, cider, doughnuts, flowers, fruits, herbs, pies, and vegetables.[8][9] It is the only winery in New Jersey that produces wine from Orange Muscat, which is a white vinifera grape of unknown origin that is often used to make dessert wines.[10] Terhune is not located in one of New Jersey's three viticultural areas.[5]

Features, licensing, and associations

[edit]

During the autumn harvest season, the winery offers apple picking and wagon rides.[11][12] 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.[13][14] The winery is a member of the Garden State Wine Growers Association and its subsidiary, Vintage North Jersey.[15][16]
