Old York Cellars and Black & Western River Railroad Add Four Additional Dates to 2025 Hunterdon Wine Express Schedule

originally published: 04/21/2025

(RINGOES, NJ) -- With tickets selling briskly for the 2025 Hunterdon Wine Express, Old York Cellars and Black River & Western Railroad have added four new dates to the 2025 schedule, June 21-22 and July 26-27. Three of the original dates have already sold out and a few more are close to selling out completely.

The Hunterdon Wine Express has been selling out since its first maiden trip in the fall of 2022. This experience has continued to grow in popularity for those looking for a unique winery experience combined with the nostalgia of riding on one of New Jersey's most beloved vintage trains.

“The Hunterdon Wine Express experience makes a great gift for Mother’s Day, Father’s Day or any occasion. Since some of the early 2025 season dates have already sold out, we have added four additional dates to ensure that more folks have a chance to enjoy this popular event.” shared David Wolin, owner of Old York Cellars.

Passengers begin their journey at the Black River & Western Railroad Station in Flemington, NJ where they board the historic train for the 25-minute trip to the Ringoes, NJ station.  Along the journey, an Old York Cellars wine ambassador shares a brief history of the Winery and wines in New Jersey. Upon arrival at the historic train station in Ringoes, guests are shuttled by coach to the vineyard.

At the picturesque winery, guests enjoy a Charcuterie, Cheese and Chocolate Pairing Experience with six of the winery’s award-winning wines, followed by lunch, prepared by Old York Cellars’ in-house chef, José Diaz.  Guests then have time to explore the vineyard at their leisure or relax with a glass of wine and listen to live music before the return trip to Flemington on the train.
