While the vineyard has won numerous awards for their variety of wines, the most notable award was for their Cabernet Franc. The flavorful red wine received the Governor’s Cup and a gold medal at the 2016 NJ Wine Competition. You can sit and enjoy a glass of wine and learn about the area’s history.

During the colonial period, Aaron Leaming, and the Hildreth family owned plantations in the area. He was a thirty-year assemblyman and author. A stage coach terminal was set up on King’s Highway and that spot he owned became the trade hub for the local farming communities. This town still provide much of the staple shopping areas for the coastal towns surrounding it. However, some of the history of Rio Grande varies on the historian.

Jeffrey M. Dorwat has said that the community was originally called Hildreth because of the other owner. However, George Boyer and J. Pearson Cunningham dispute this claim saying that the area was originally known as Leamings, as they were also prominent land owners. They also wrote that it was Aaron Leaming that suggested they name Rio Grande after the river, as he believed it had an attractive name.
