What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors praise Turdo Vineyards & Winery for its exceptional dry wines, particularly the rare Grillo, and its intimate, welcoming atmosphere. The beautiful patio and friendly, knowledgeable staff are consistent highlights. Some find the parking challenging and the tasting room small, with snacks being a bit pricey.
"The view was very nice. You can only do flights inside, which I didn’t like. The wine wasn’t horribly priced but I also didn’t love it. To be fair, I am not a huge wine fan. They didn’t have anything on the website that said no outside food but they had signs posted everywhere onsite. The food was outrageously priced, which I was not a fan of. The patio was very pretty and you can see the grape vines. They also had fans on the patio which made it easier to enjoy sitting outside. It was weird that you walk up to basically someone’s house. It was an okay experience."

"We had a very enjoyable afternoon on the patio with a bottle of wine and some cheese and crackers. It was quiet, not the hustle and bustle of some of the other wineries. Both experiences are good, depends what you are looking for. The biggest difference was the wine."

"I love dry wines more than most things in this world and this place hit the spot! I will not disrespect any other NJ wineries as sweet vs dry is a preference but I much prefer dry wine and am over the sweet wines of NJ. I was so excited to have found Turdo! Myself and my family members loved the wine, the customer service, and the atmosphere! The only thing that leaves anything to be desired is the parking and tasting room; however, the wine more than made up for both of those. I highly recommend the Grillo, which Turdo is the only winery outside of Italy that grows that specific grape! At this to your list of places to visit while down the shore!"
