Working Dog Winery

History and Background

Founded in 2001, Working Dog Winery began as a casual conversation among friends about the possibility of making their own wine. What started as a small hobby of planting grapes quickly turned into a serious winemaking venture. Over the years, this passion evolved into both a thriving business and a community staple in Central New Jersey. By 2023, the original owners decided to pass the baton to the enthusiastic trio: Carlee Ludwig, Sharon Kyle, and Kevin Kyle.

Vineyard Details and Wine Production

Working Dog Winery is situated on the picturesque, rolling terrain of eastern Mercer County, starting with just 3 acres dedicated to Cabernet Franc and Chardonnay. The vineyard has expanded significantly since its inception, continually underscoring the rich potential of its terroir— a harmonious blend of soil, climate, and topography:

• Cabernet Franc and Chardonnay: Initial varietals, foundational to their award-winning selection.
• Award-Winning Estate Grown Wines: Every bottle produced reflects the dedication and meticulous care from vine to wine.
