Summit City Farms & Winery

Summit City Farms & Winery is a winery in Summit, NJ, operating on 500 acres of farmland in the historic Chestnut Ridge section of Glassboro, New Jersey. Founded in 1922 as Boulevard Orchards by Italian immigrants Gaetano and Pasqueta DeEugenio, the family-owned farm has evolved into a vertically integrated agribusiness specializing in peach, nectarine, and apple orchards, as well as the production of over 30 varieties of fruit, red, white, sweet, and table wines. The winery, which opened in 2014, offers wine tastings, food service featuring wood-fired flatbreads and pizza from the Ravelli Wood Buring Oven, and hosts weekly music events, private wine pairings, and seasonal gatherings. Visitors are welcomed to enjoy a relaxed, community-oriented atmosphere with a focus on local heritage and quality craftsmanship. The business has earned a 4.50 rating from its patrons, reflecting consistent satisfaction with its wines, food, and events.

The farm’s roots trace back to a 7.5-acre plot on University Boulevard, where Gaetano DeEugenio began cultivating apples, asparagus, grapes, and peaches. Over the decades, the DeEugenio family expanded the operation, adding the name Summit City Farms after the 1967 Johnson-Kosygin Summit. By the late 20th century, under the stewardship of Lewis Sr. and Lewis Jr., the farm grew to approximately 500 acres. The winery’s current operation continues the family’s legacy, using fruits harvested on-site and from trusted sources to craft its diverse wine lineup. The tasting room features unique memorabilia collected by the late Lewis DeEugenio Sr., offering a tangible connection to South Jersey’s history.

Located on University Blvd in Glassboro, the winery sits within a community rich in agricultural tradition and local character. The property is part of a long-standing family enterprise that has served New Jersey for over a century, combining farming, winemaking, and hospitality into a distinctive experience. With its deep roots, diverse offerings, and vibrant events, Summit City Farms & Winery stands as a cornerstone of South Jersey’s agricultural and cultural landscape.
