Fall is one of our favorite seasons at Stokelan Estate Winery. As the leaves change and cooler weather settles into South Jersey, our historic estate takes on an entirely new feel. This year, we have even more to celebrate: a new face leading our Private Events, a refined, chef-curated private event menu, and a calendar of workshops and activities packed with plenty of reasons to visit this season.

Unveiling Our New Private Event Menu
We recently unveiled a completely refreshed private event menu designed to make celebrations at Stokelan as memorable as the setting. Guests can choose from an updated selection of passed hors d’oeuvres, including petite baked brie and raspberry puff pastries, truffle potato croquettes, bacon-wrapped scallops, and Peking duck spring rolls. Entrées now include short rib with a Kirby’s Mill Red Blend reduction, herb-crusted Chilean sea bass, and pan-seared chicken with a Vidal Blanc reduction. Our refreshed selection of dishes is seamlessly complemented by pasta, salad, and dessert options. We’re also excited to have introduced a beautiful brunch menu, featuring sous vide eggs, freshly baked pastries and croissants, and fresh seasonal fruit.
