Brook Hollow Winery

Brook Hollow Winery is an American winery located in the Columbia section of Knowlton Township in Warren County, New Jersey. The winery operates in the Warren Hills American Viticultural Area and is associated with New Jersey’s farm-winery sector. Its original vineyard was planted in 2002, and the winery opened to the public in 2007. In 2013, it moved to a new site in Columbia. The winery cultivates approximately eight acres of grapes and produces about 1,050 cases of wine annually, according to the referenced encyclopedia material. Its portfolio includes wines made from both familiar vinifera varieties and hybrid or regional grapes. Reported grape varieties include Cabernet Sauvignon, Cayuga White, Chambourcin, Chancellor, Chardonnay, Concord, Frontenac, Merlot, Riesling, Vidal blanc, Zinfandel, and Geneva Red. Brook Hollow is noted as the only New Jersey winery identified in the reference material as producing wine from Geneva Red, a red hybrid grape developed in New York in 1947. In addition to grape wines, the winery makes fruit wines, including cranberry wine. Brook Hollow’s name comes from a hollow formed by Yards Creek, a stream associated with the farm’s original location. Its farm-winery license from the New Jersey Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control permits production of up to 50,000 gallons of wine per year, operation of as many as 15 off-premises sales rooms, and shipment of up to 12 cases per year to consumers within or outside New Jersey, subject to applicable regulatory requirements. The winery is also a member of the Garden State Wine Growers Association and Vintage North Jersey, an organization connected with the state’s wine-tourism and regional winery network. The available reference material does not identify a corporate parent, named founder, executive team, public listing, or detailed distribution strategy. Brook Hollow is therefore best characterized as a regional New Jersey winery whose identity rests on estate and locally oriented production, public hospitality, and experimentation with both traditional and hybrid grape varieties.

Brook Hollow Winery traces its agricultural beginning to the planting of its original vineyard in 2002. The winery opened to the public in 2007, establishing a public-facing winery operation in Warren County, New Jersey. Its name refers to a hollow created by Yards Creek, the stream running through the farm’s original location. In 2013, Brook Hollow relocated to a new site in Columbia, within Knowlton Township. The move placed the winery in the Warren Hills American Viticultural Area and provided the setting for its continuing production and visitor activities. The winery’s reported vineyard acreage is approximately eight acres, with annual production of about 1,050 cases. Brook Hollow’s wine program spans a wide selection of grapes, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Cayuga White, Chambourcin, Chancellor, Chardonnay, Concord, Frontenac, Merlot, Riesling, Vidal blanc, Zinfandel, and other varieties. The winery also produces fruit wines, including cranberry-based wine. A distinctive element of its portfolio is Geneva Red, a red hybrid grape developed in New York in 1947. The reference material identifies Brook Hollow as the only New Jersey winery producing wine from that grape. The winery operates under a New Jersey farm-winery license issued through the state Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control. The license framework allows qualified farm wineries to produce wine, operate limited off-premises sales rooms, and ship specified quantities to consumers, subject to state rules. Brook Hollow is affiliated with the Garden State Wine Growers Association and Vintage North Jersey, linking it to broader state-level wine-industry and wine-tourism organizations. The available sources provide limited information about ownership, management, financial performance, retail partnerships, and recent product releases. No named founder or executive leadership history is identified in the supplied material.
