A Journey of Passion, Community, and Fine Winemaking
Sycamore Hill Vineyard represents the shared dream of Bob and Mary Kay Freno. Located in Woolwich Township, New Jersey, just outside the Outer Coastal Plain AVA
Bob, a retired engineer with roots in South Jersey, developed his love for agriculture visiting his uncle's farm in Vineland. His path crossed with Mary Kay at a local vineyard, and their shared passion for wine led to marriage in Napa Valley, where the dream of their own vineyard was born.
In 2022, they transformed 17 acres of fertile farmland into Sycamore Hill Vineyard, planting 1.7 acres each of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. The vineyard's first harvest in 2024 marked a significant milestone, celebrated with family and friends.
Today, Sycamore Hill Vineyard stands as a testament to their dedication—a place where the love of wine brings people together in celebration and relaxation.
