Peppadew Fresh Vineyards is a winery in the Morganville section of Marlboro Township in Monmouth County, New Jersey. Formerly a flower farm, grapes were first planted in 2011, and the winery opened to the public in 2012. Peppadews, the fruit for which the winery was named, were first planted in 2008. In 2012, Peppadew Fresh received a $260,000 grant from the United States Department of Agriculture to expand production and distribution. The winery has 4 acres of grapes under cultivation, and currently produces wine from grapes purchased from other New Jersey vineyards. By 2016, the winery is expected to produce 900 cases per year from estate-grown grapes.
