The association sponsors multiple wine festivals each year.[1][2] Vintage North Jersey, a subsidiary of the Garden State Wine Growers Association, was founded in 2013. Vintage North Jersey includes ten wineries in northwestern New Jersey, and received a $16,000 tourism grant from the state of New Jersey.[3][4]
