we came for apple picking (which we very much enjoyed!) and family members who bought wine sampler enjoyed theirs. Also had simple yet satisfying lunch cheeseburger, loaded nachos, etc from adjacent Johnson farm Grill - though be prepared for sweet root beer flavor in pulled pork. Also bought many items from adjacent farm store - apple cider donuts (yum), apple sauce, apple butter, etc. we'll definitely come again!
Wonderful site for special events! So warm and interesting!
I am not sure why they have such a small area set up for wine tasting. Really not useful with with crowds. I didn't even want to sample anything and you couldn't get anywhere near the counter because the line was 6 couples deep. I'm not sure I'd take the drive back here specifically for wine tasting or to purchase a wine. I'd go directly to the source if you want this experience.
5 stars for the farm though: Otherwise the farm was great. They had fresh apple cider donuts, a grill selling food and Toscano from Bordentown were selling good. Plenty to picnic tables on a bright cool Saturday afternoon.
After spending the day on the beautiful Locust Farm, we were pleasantly surprised that there was Tomasello winery tasting room on the premises. We've been to other locations before and were familiar with some of the wines and the product. However, the lady at the counter informed us that it was operated on reservations only. The other people who came up to the counter were grabbing bottles "to go" with plastic glasses, obviously, to be consumed right there and then. There were a bunch of empty tables, and the farm was closing within an hour. I understand that we didn't have a reservation, which obviously might have been a requirement, but the lady did not suggest buying a bottle of wine to-go or any other help, in fact, being only impolite and staring at the screen without greeting us or showing any interest at all in the new customers. Disappointed to see one of the best wineries in the state with such an attitude.
They are THE BEST!! Stopped by early in the day with my family and realized half way into our day that I had an oil change appointment. Was able to return with only an hour shy of closing. Not only did they accommodate my kids and myself by getting us on the hay ride in time but they didn't rush us at all so my kids and I could go pumpkin picking and do the corn maze. I would highly recommend this place to all!
