PRivate Events at Alba VIneyard

Host your next gathering surrounded by the vineyards at Alba

Whether celebrating a milestone, planning a vineyard wedding, or organizing a corporate retreat, Alba offers a setting that is both relaxed and memorable. With sweeping vineyard views and thoughtful hospitality, private events here combine the beauty of the landscape with exceptional food, wine, and service.

Located in the rolling hills of the Musconetcong Valley in western New Jersey, Alba provides a distinctive alternative to traditional banquet halls or restaurant event spaces. Guests are welcomed into a working vineyard where the setting, food, and wines come together to create a truly memorable experience.

For all catered events, Alba Vineyard partners exclusively with Eques Hospitality to provide food and culinary service. Their team works closely with us to design menus that complement Alba’s wines and the vineyard setting. Outside caterers are not permitted.

In addition to weekend celebrations, Alba Vineyard is available during the week for corporate events, team building experiences, and company outings, offering a unique alternative to traditional meeting venues.
