Make it a Day in the Country
This part of Warren County is easily accessible from both
Route 78 & Route 80. Follow this tour when coming off
Route 80. Do it in reverse if coming off Route 78.
Take Exit 4 off Route 80 and make a left at the end of the
ramp. Just a few miles down is the Historic town of Hope.
You will find numerous antique shops. Hope was founded
by the Moravians in 1769 by the same group founded the
Moravian community in Bethlehem Pennsylvania. Listed
on the State and National Registers of Historic Places, this
town features beautifully restored Victorian and Historic
Homes. Each year on the first weekend of December Hope
holds the Annual Christmas Craft Market.
Continue down CR 519 South to Four Sisters Winery –
celebrating over 25 years of New Jersey winemaking. Plan
a visit back throughout the year for one of their Barefoot Grape
Stomping Parties or a Murder Mystery Dinners. From the
winery, Hensler Farms is a nice 5 minute ride.
From Hensler’s continue just one mile South on CR 519 to
Mackey’s Orchard. You could say many have a “sweet spot” for
Mackey’s - serving ice cream spring, summer and fall; growing
delicious apples and then turning them into home made pies,
apple cider donuts and cider in their bakery.
Head slightly down the road to Gro-Rite for some colorful
poinsettias. Gro-Rite has two locations in New Jersey. Their
Belvidere location is the main growing location, with 110 acres
of land and 200,000 sq. feet of covered greenhouse growing
space. Buying direct from the grower!
Just a short distance from Gro-Rite stop at Wyckoffs
Christmas Tree Farm for your tree. Wyckoff’s is entering
their 43rd year of selling Christmas trees. Winners of the NJ
Grand Champion Tree award in 2008, 2007, 1999, 1992,
1990 and 1978, you are certain to find the perfect tree.
The farm has been in the family since 1839, passing from
generation to generation. Currently owned by John and Sue
Wyckoff along with Judy Wyckoff Morris. The current John
Wyckoff is the 6th generation to farm the land and his two
sons, John and Bill along with their families help on the farm,
especially during the Christmas season. Son, John, lives on
the property and his children are now the 8th generation to
be raised on the farm.
For years families have made cutting a tree a tradition at
Wyckoff’s. Many even have tailgate parties on the farm. Start
a family tradition this year and come out to the beautiful
countryside of Warren County.

From Wyckoff’s continue south of CR 519. By now you are
hungry and looking for a bite to eat. A few suggestions – the
Red Wolf Inn in White Township, Bellisimo’s in
Stewartsville, or Charlie Browns in Alpha.
Continue on CR 519 – over the river and through the woods
– for an enjoyable ride to the southwest most corner of
Warren County. Where CR 519 makes a sharp left, divert
onto CR627, Warren Glen Road. You will want to stop at
Chelsea Forge Antiques. From there continue west on
CR627 to Villa Milagro Vineyards
(www.VillaMilagroVineyards). At #33, go up the farm lane
overlooking the Delaware River to enter Villa Milagro's
vineyard where organic and sustainable practices produce ten
varieties of French and Italian grapes. Open for wine tastings
Saturdays and Sundays and for sales daily, Villa Milagro
blends their wines to create delicious, European style wines.
Relax on their porch to enjoy panoramic views of four
counties in two states. Wine is always a welcome gift or give
a Cooking Classes, Wine Tasting Classes or private tour and
tasting at the Vineyard.

A Note About Real Trees vs
Artificial Trees
Not only is a real tree more “green” but buying a
real tree also supports the local economy.
Think about it – to produce a tree made of plastic or
metal consumes energy and creates pollution. A real
tree produces oxygen. Keep in mind a Christmas
tree is specifically planted to be harvested. And for
every tree cut, two are planted by real tree growers.
They are recyclable, renewable and biodegradable.
Some artificial trees are made from pvc and can put
lead dust into your home’s air. Real trees are lead
free! Artificial trees are made in China, Korea or
Taiwan.
This year, why not commit to buying a tree grown
in the USA!
