S 3724 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes Winery Co-marketing Grant Program; appropriates $500,000.

This bill establishes a Winery Co-marketing Grant Program administered by New Jersey's Department of Agriculture, appropriating $500,000 to reimburse licensed wineries for eligible co-marketing costs. It directly affects New Jersey wineries (with plenary or farm winery licenses) that partner with other wineries, restaurants, accommodations, Jersey Fresh roadside markets, or farms for joint marketing campaigns promoting agricultural tourism. The program reimburses 25%-45% of eligible costs based on the number of partner entities (1-3+ partners), with grants capped at $25,000 per annual application. The bill requires annual reports to track program usage, unspent funds, and recommendations for future funding.
