Kids banned from N.J. winery after COVID brought families there in droves
Updated May 12, 2021;
A Mercer County winery that unofficially allowed children and families to visit has taken to social media to remind visitors that no one under 21 is allowed to spend time there.
The reiteration of Working Dog Winery’s official policy regarding underage visitors has prompted a flood of reactions from customers, with some applauding the owners’ decision and others criticizing the enforcement of the policy.
Mark Carduner, a co-owner of the Hightstown-based winery, said in previous years, families were allowed to bring their children when the weather was nice, spending time in the acres of well-maintained grass behind the tasting room.
