The Hammonton Wine & Beer Expo Returns for Its 16th Year

There are certain events in South Jersey that quietly become traditions—the kind you circle on your calendar without thinking twice.

The Greater Hammonton Chamber of Commerce’s 16th Annual Wine & Beer Expo is one of them.

Set for Wednesday, April 22, 2026, from 6:30PM to 10:00PM at the Kathedral Event Center in Hammonton, this evening has evolved into one of the region’s most anticipated spring gatherings—where wine, food, and community come together seamlessly.

A Tasting Experience Rooted in Local Expertise

What makes this event stand out isn’t just the volume of wine—it’s the people behind the pour.

The featured selections are anchored by respected local names like WineWorks, a go-to destination in the region for curated wines, craft beer, and spirits. Their involvement ensures a lineup that’s not only diverse, but thoughtfully chosen—appealing to both casual drinkers and seasoned collectors.

Craft Beer with Serious Credibility

Balancing the wine experience is a strong presence from Kramer Beverage, one of South Jersey’s most established distributors of craft and imported beers.

Their participation brings a level of depth that elevates the beer side of the event—from approachable favorites to more nuanced selections that appeal to serious beer enthusiasts.

The result? A tasting experience that doesn’t lean too heavily in one direction—it gives everyone something to enjoy.

A Culinary Lineup That Reflects Hammonton’s Flavor

What truly elevates the Hammonton Wine & Beer Expo is its lineup of local culinary partners—each one a standout in their own right, and together, a reflection of the region’s rich food culture. Anchoring the experience is Bagliani’s Market, a fourth-generation Italian specialty market that has built its reputation on artisanal pastas, house-made sausage, and an exceptional selection of cheeses from around the world—often described by loyal customers as a destination worth traveling for. Complementing that tradition is Mannino’s Cannoli Express, a beloved fixture across South Jersey festivals and events, known for bringing fresh-filled cannoli and authentic Italian desserts directly to guests, often with a lively, interactive presentation that adds energy to any gathering.

Adding a modern culinary edge is Kitchen 19, whose creative, wine-friendly cuisine reflects a more contemporary approach—thoughtfully prepared dishes designed to pair seamlessly with the evening’s selections. Meanwhile, White Barn Orchards brings a farm-driven, artisanal touch, known locally for fresh baked goods and rustic offerings that highlight the best of seasonal ingredients. Rounding out the experience is It’s a Rodeo Custom Catering, delivering a full buffet-style presence that ensures the evening feels substantial, not just sampled—transforming the event into a true culinary showcase rather than a simple tasting.

A Crowd Favorite: The Wine Pull

Adding an element of fun—and a little suspense—is the Wine Pull Fundraiser, sponsored by MainStreet Hammonton.

It’s part game, part discovery. You select a bottle at random, with the chance of walking away with something exceptional. It’s one of those small details that makes the event feel interactive—and keeps guests engaged throughout the night.
