Old York Cellars is a winery in the Ringoes section of East Amwell Township in Hunterdon County, New Jersey. The vineyard was first planted in 1978, when the farm was known as Amwell Valley Vineyard. Amwell Valley operated as a winery from 1982 to 2005. Old York Cellars opened to the public in 2010. Old York has 12 acres of grapes under cultivation, and produces an estimated 3,600 cases of wine per year. The winery is named for the road where it is located.
Old York Cellars produces wine from Barbera, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cayuga White, Chardonnay, Chenin blanc, Colobel, Landot noir, Malbec, Marechal Foch, Merlot, Pinot gris, Riesling, Seyval blanc, Syrah, Vidal blanc, and Vignoles (Ravat 51) grapes. Old York also makes fruit wines from blackberries and peaches. The winery has a separate brand of New Jersey-themed vintages (named "What Exit Wines") that are used to raise money for Hurricane Sandy relief. Old York is the only winery in New Jersey that produces wine from Colobel, a red hybrid grape developed in France in the early twentieth century that is often used for wine coloration. The winery is not located in one of New Jersey's three viticultural areas.
