Hopewell Valley Vineyards of Ewing is a winery in Ewing, New Jersey, situated on Yard Road. The vineyard blends Old World winemaking tradition with New World flair and has been crafting wines in the Hopewell Valley since 2001.

The winery holds a rating of 4.50 based on customer reviews.

The property sits on a 75-acre estate near the base of the Sourland Mountains in the Delaware Valley, with 20 acres planted in clay-loam soils. The vineyard cultivates classic vinifera varieties such as Pinot, Chardonnay, and Barbera, alongside regionally suited grapes including Vidal Blanc, Chambourcin, and Traminette. Three generations of Tuscan winemaking experience shape the winemaking program. The food menu centers on brick-oven pizza made with the winery's own specialty dough and is paired with Mediterranean small plates. Pizzas are named for the wines, including the Chambourcin, Chardonnay, Barbera, Sangiovese, Pinot Grigio, and Greca, with toppings ranging from basil and blue cheese to prosciutto and feta. The kitchen uses organic greens and extra virgin olive oil imported directly from Italian sources, and the light fare menu includes a cheese plate with salami and Castelvetrano olives, a Caprese di Burrata, and an Aegean salad. The leadership team includes owners Sergio Neri, who serves as viticulturist, and Violetta Neri, who directs hospitality, along with Liz Radzki as office manager, Tammy Castadot as private events director, and Alexandra Hunt as head of marketing and operations.

Guests describe the winery as a hidden gem with remarkably good New Jersey wines, and many compare the setting to a vineyard in Tuscany.
