Grand Harvest Wine Festival at Fosterfields Living Historical Farm

To help celebrate this bountiful time of year, the Garden State Wine
Growers Association will once again host its Grand Harvest Wine Festival at
Fosterfields Living Historical Farm in Morris Township on Saturday and Sunday,
Oct. 5-6 from noon to 5 p.m. each day.

Fosterfields is a real working farm, using the tools, techniques, and
materials of a late 19th Century farm. The farm was once owned
by General Joseph Warren Revere, grandson of Paul Revere.  Wishing to preserve her beloved home and give
future generations the chance to experience the sights, smells, and sounds of
rural life, Caroline Foster in 1979 bequeathed Fosterfields to the Morris
County Park Commission, to be preserved as a "living historical
farm," the first in New Jersey. She lived 98 of her 102 years at
Fosterfields.

The Grand Harvest Wine Festival will feature 19 wineries offering
nearly 250 locally-produced wines, food, crafts vendors, live bands and the
opportunity to experience one of New Jersey’s significant historical farms. Admission is $25 for either
day or $40 for a two-day pass. The fee includes a wine tasting glass. Tickets
can be purchased at the admission tent 11:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. each day. Advance
tickets are $20 and can be purchased online at www.newjerseywines.com. Large groups
and bus groups can call 609-588-0085 for more information.

At the Festival, attendees will be able to tour the
historical farm and sample award-winning wines from New Jersey wineries, shop
craft tables and listen to great live music. The younger generation will also
be entertained as they visit the Kids Zone, which features face painting, sand
art and other great fun. Live music will be provided Saturday by the SteppingStone Band and Sunday by Funktion.
