A 2912 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Establishes Winery Co-marketing Grant Program; appropriates $500,000.

This bill establishes a $500,000 Winery Co-marketing Grant Program administered by New Jersey's Department of Agriculture. It reimburses eligible wineries (with plenary or farm winery licenses) for 25-45% of marketing costs when they partner with other local businesses like restaurants, hotels, or "Jersey Fresh" roadside markets to promote agricultural tourism. Grants are capped at $25,000 per winery annually, with higher reimbursement rates (up to 45%) for campaigns involving three or more partner entities. The program requires annual reports on grant usage and funding status, with the department recommending continued funding or additional appropriations as needed.
