Award Winning Estate Grown Wines

Our Story

Established in 2001 by a group of friends with a shared passion for winemaking, Working Dog Winery has grown into a nearly 20-acre vineyard producing over a dozen vinifera varietals. After 23 years of dedication, the founding members entrusted the winery's future to Carlee Ludwig, Sharon Kyle, and Kevin Kyle as they entered retirement in December 2024.

Our Vineyard

Located in the rolling hills of eastern Mercer County, NJ, our vineyard began with just 3 acres of Cabernet Franc and Chardonnay. Over time, our exceptional terroir revealed its potential to produce outstanding fruit and award-winning wines.

Our Wines

Working Dog Winery continues its dedication to the New Jersey Fine Wine Movement, producing award-winning estate wines that showcase the character of our terroir. Each vintage is crafted with care and passion—one glass at a time.
