"Nice atmosphere, good pizza and other items to snake on is available. Good place to relax and listen to music. However, very overpriced tasting of 4 (2.5 oz pours) for $28 or $15 cover to sit on patio."
My friends and I had a great experience here. The venue and grounds were stunning. It was also nice to have a full kitchen and tasty food on location. Many wineries/vineyards I've been to have don't have food or snacks available for purchase! The food, provided by Trattoria di Fiore, was stellar! We got the truffle pizza special : The wine tasting flights were definitely pricey with little pours, that was probably the only downside. But if you bought a bottle to split with friends, the prices were very fair and the wine was very enjoyable. I'd definitely recommend doing that! I don't agree with the few negative reviews here. Why would you assume a winery/vineyard is kid friendly in the first...
Additionally, the weather was rainy and humid, and we were informed that we couldn't sit inside the charming front room, which meant we got soaked while running in and out. We decided to order some food as well. The pizza was good, but we struggled to get service; it seemed there were no servers available. Despite being the only customers there, we had to repeatedly dash through the rain to place our orders. One staff member, who appeared to be unoccupied, only took action after I mentioned posting about my experience on Yelp. She then graciously brought us our pizzas, claiming she was trying to help.
Overall, I would recommend heading to Sandcastle down the road instead. Their staff is fri...
There is a cover charge for bookings of 6 or more. Not sure why, since you could easily split into two smaller groups and still go in together without the fee. As soon as you walk in, there is a sign saying no outside food and drink allowed. This includes water. Instead, they force you to buy their bottled water at a significant mark up. No tap water available. The wines themselves are OK. The Cabernet Sauvignon was a good fall flavor, the Riesling is a bit sweet but otherwise quite decent as well. There is a vendor serving food, the pizzas were expensive but delicious. All in all, not really worth the trip out here when there are plenty of better vineyards around.
Don't waste your time here. The customer service at this winery is terrible. I visited to pick up a couple of bottles of wine for my birthday. When I went to pay, an older female cashier pointed out, "You know this bottle is $59.99?" I was standing there with my credit card, ready to pay nearly $99, and I couldn't understand why she would imply that I had mistakenly chosen an expensive bottle and might not be able to afford it. This is, without a doubt, poor customer service! We won't be returning.

We visited Alba Vineyard as a weekday activity. The drive in was scenic as we are days into peak fall foliage! We were greeted by one of the brothers who owns the grounds. He was kind, welcoming, and helpful as we asked about their flight tasting options! We spent a total of 90 minutes and plan to return on a weekend as they have an in house chef! I look forward to returning soon again.
Visited this vineyard for the first time yesterday with friends. We got lucky because it was a gorgeous November day. We did the three wine tasting. Took our wine and went to sit in outdoor patio. Very clean very nice place they had live music. Special treat is they had some food on the side that you can get and enjoy with your wine spent a few hours there very enjoyable.
Not family friendly. Will kick you out with no further explanation if you show up with children. I understand you can make up your own rules for your facility but don't make up laws that don't exist. If you have an adults only rule, you can be a little more tactful and explain with kindness instead of being rude and crazy.
This charming vineyard truly transports you to a place that doesn't feel like New Jersey! The $22 tasting fee includes a music cover, which is $15 if you opt out of a tasting. I thoroughly enjoyed the live music, exploring the beautiful grounds, and trying the wines. We would definitely return!

Stumbled across Alba while out on a Sunday drive. Had the flight of their reds....each one better than the last. It's a beautiful building that would be a great place for an event. Friendly staff, nice 3 piece band playing. Will definitely be back!
Nice atmosphere, good pizza and other items to snake on is available. Good place to relax and listen to music. However, very overpriced tasting of 4 (2.5 oz pours) for $28 or $15 cover to sit on patio.
