Westfall Winery was a winery in Montague Township in Sussex County, New Jersey. [3] [4] Formerly a stop on the Underground Railroad and a dairy farm, the vineyard was first planted in 2000, and opened to the public in 2003. [5] Westfall had 6 acres of grapes under cultivation, and produced 9,000 cases of wine per year, mostly from imported grapes. [6] The winery was named for the family that owned the farm from 1774 to 1940. [5] [7] It was sold in December 2017 and became an animal sanctuary. [8]
Westfall Winery produced grape wine and also made fruit wines from apples, blackberries, blueberries, cranberries, and peaches. [9] [10]
When operating as a winery, the farm also offered equestrian services, including horse boarding, and specializes in the use of Morgan horses. [5] [7] In 2006, the owners of Westfall founded Island Winery in Hilton Head, South Carolina. [1] [7]
