This coming Mother’s Day weekend, two New Jersey wineries will be hosting special family events that will also benefit local charities…
On Saturday, May 8th, from 12:00 noon – 2:00 p.m., the Cape May Winery in Cape May, New Jersey, will be hosting a special luncheon and fashion show catered by the nearby Washington Inn. The event will benefit Family Promise, a nonprofit organization committed to helping low-income families achieve lasting independence. Beginning at 1:00 p.m. participants will enjoy the local fashions of Bamboo Shack, featuring men’s clothing, including bathing suits, Tommy Bahama wear, and t-shirts. For the ladies, Pink by Victorious will be showing dresses, shoes, and accessories.
The cost of admission is $25.00 per person (cash bar). Advance ticket sales are required. For more information, or to make reservations, please call (609) 884-1169.
On Sunday, May 9th, Alba Vineyard in the Village of Finesville, Milford, New Jersey, will host its annual Mother’s Day festival to benefit the American Red Cross of Central New Jersey.
There will be something for entire family. For music lovers, the festival will showcase the VooDUDES, offering a unique mix of jazz, rock, and zydeco. The younger festival-goers can enjoy face painting, sand art, and the moon bounce. The more adventurous can opt for hot air balloon rides by Dancing on Air (weather permitting) and horse drawn carriage rides throughout the vineyard.
Admission is $10.00 for adults 21 and over, $5.00 for young adults, ages 12-20, and free for children under 12. All proceeds from admission will be donated to the American Red Cross of Central New Jersey to help bring relief to families or individuals who have lost their homes to fire, homebound seniors who depend daily on a hot nutritious meal delivered by a Red Cross volunteer, and patients in need of lifesaving blood transfusions.
Parking is complimentary, and wine tastings will be available throughout the day for $10.00 per person, which include samples of the vineyard’s award-winning wines and an Alba-etched wine glass.
Country Picnic of Bedminster, New Jersey, will be on hand with food to purchase, but patrons are welcome to pack their own picnic basket for the festival. Please note, by law, only Alba Vineyard’s wines may be consumed on the property.
For more information, please call (908) 995-7800.
Bon Appétit & Cheers!
