We had a terrific experience making wine at Grape Finale. As this was our first time doing so, we really did not know what to expect. We began the process as a group from our neighborhood. The Grape Finale building is large but not intimidating. Our first visit was fun and more than welcoming. The personnel are friendly, clearly experienced and immediately embraced our group. They explained the entire process, let us sample a variety of wines and put us to work. Thereafter, each phase of the wine making process became even more enjoyable. Each phase allowed those present to taste the wine to see its progress. In particular, we made two cases of wine, one white and one red. The final phase of bottling and labeling with individually made labels was a nice touch! The quality of the wine made with our own hands is comparable to, if not better than many wines that can be purchased over the counter. The great news is that our wine is can be enjoyed and appreciate more since we made it. Undoubtably, after we consume our wine we plan to return to make more. The opportunity provided by Grape Finale provided us a memorable, unique and fun experience that is well worth repeating.

Our group from a 55 plus development got together to make wine. This was a learning experience with hands-on wine-making. However, more than that , this was a great social event. We brought snacks and, of course, drank some very delicious wine. We were able to taste various types of reds and whites and choose which ones we wanted to make. The process began in the fall and the final step - labeling ends in the summer. Everyone at Grape Finale was friendly and helpful and extremely knowledgeable. We were confident that we would get a delicious tasting wine in the end. We enjoyed the experience so much that we are now making wine for the 2nd time. Each step along the way brought something new and interesting. The bottles with the labels that we chose also make excellent gifts and we look forward to an ongoing relationship with Grape Finale.

How do you describe a wonderful wine making experience? Two words: Grape Finale! Your hosts, Lisa and Jurgen, are not only knowledgeable and welcoming, but you become part of a family process in creating your own personal wine, either one type or many types, depending on your taste. I personally have made wine with Grape Finale since 2012. Many cases later, I can only say the wine gets better every year and the expertise of the staff at Grape Finale is responsible for seeing that through. The process is seamless and that is a result of a finely run business and the input of its clientele. Do not miss the opportunity to make excellent wine of your choosing and enjoying the fruits of your labor in seasons to come!

This place is a wonderful surprise! Its so much fun to participate in the wine-making process and to create something unique and personal to enjoy or give as gifts. So many people are skeptical about the quality of the wine (admittedly, so was I!) but rest assured, it is excellent. Not only do I love the Petite Sirah that we made as a group, but I have tasted quite a variety of Grape Finales other wines and across the board, they are excellent. Lisa is a fabulous business woman and very generous in our community. She makes everything easy and she makes it fun. Dont miss this great little gem in Hunterdon!

Making our own wine has become for my wife and I a fun, social event. We made a lot of new friends and learned a lot about the wine making process from Lisa V. who is hands on and is incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. We look forward to each wine selection, crushing, and bottling. There are many wine varieties to choose from. The real proof is that Grape Finale has been awarded numerous awards for many wines made there. That should be enough to convince anybody that this is THE place to take your plunge into winemaking. You will not be disappointed.

We have been making wine at Grape Finale since it opened in 2011. Our Malbec will be bottled soon, and the Riesling is next. So far, we’ve done one or two wines at each session (Spring and Fall), which is allowing us to build our inventory. We share the experience with friends to get the cost down and make the whole thing more fun. We are very pleased with the wine and everyone that we have shared it with thinks it’s great. It’s really nice to give as gifts as well, with our own label! Lisa really knows what she is doing and the wine is superb.

Weve been making wine with Lisa since the beginning and look forward to it each new season. Grape Finale is unique among wine making organizations in our area. Personally, weve made 2 or 3 different varietals most seasons as part of a larger group, but have also done a 1/4 barrel of one varietal grape with a few others to aggregate to a barrel--GF is very flexible that way. Lisa is just great, the process is fun-everyone participates in all of the steps to make and bottle wine, and the wines themselves are superb!

My husband and I have been making wine at Grape Finale since it opened several years ago. Lisa and Jurgen are wonderful teachers, knowledgeable and hands on. Anyone can do it - no previous experience necessary - simply the love of wine! We have made wine with grapes from California, Chile, Italy and South Africa. Every wine was fabulous. We will continue making wine here and we highly recommend Grape Finale to everyone.

We had a great time at Grape Finale learning about, participating in the creation of, and finally enjoying our AWESOME batch of wine! Its a really nice way to meet new people and experience a part of the wine making process. We are not vintners yet, but we have been wine aficionados for a long time, and this is a great way to learn more without experiencing the trail and error of being a vintner.

What a fun - and educational - experience. We have made four different wines with Grape Finale (Super Tuscan, Chardonnay, Opus Blend and Chateauneuf du Pape) and have just recently crushed and pressed a Pinot Noir and a Prisoners Blend. Lisa and Jurgen have taught us so much about making wine. This is a first class operation!!!

Peter Guth

The overall experience was great. The process was well organized (everything from the tasting to the bottling) and we look forward to doing it again. There is something special about having wine with your own personal label.

Anne Reid

What a great experience! Our Super Tuscan was outstanding! Not only is it a fun way to make new friends, but you will make some of the best wine youve ever tasted. Check it out, you will not be disappointed!

What a great place, the wine we made is excellent and the events Lisa and Jurgen have at their facility are a pleasure to attend. Well worth any ride you take to make wine here.

I LOVE the Chateauneuf-du-Pape my company made here. Im so excited to share it as a holiday gift for my clients. The winemaking process is as much fun as the final product!

My husband and I made some great wine with Lisa and Juergens help. They taught us so much about how to make great wine and then helped us to make it!
