Four Sisters Winery

What Four Sisters Winery does

Four Sisters Winery is a family-owned winery and event hospitality business founded in 1984 by Matty and Laurie Matarazzo in Belvidere, New Jersey. The company operates on 23 acres of scenic hills, including an 8-acre vineyard that produces estate-grown wines from hybrid and native American grape varieties such as Concord, Niagara, Cayuga, Seyval Blanc, Chambourcin, Baco Noir, Corot Noir, Leon Millot, and Frontenac. Its product portfolio spans roughly 18 distinct wines across sweet, semi-dry, dry, rosé, blush, and fortified categories, with Leon Millot being the only wine aged with oak chips and Frontenac serving as a 19% ABV fortified red. The winery also operates an on-site kitchen serving chef-prepared charcuterie boards, flatbreads, salads, and entrées, and runs The Deck, an outdoor venue with live music overlooking the vineyards.

The business model is exclusively direct-to-consumer and on-site: visitors come to the Belvidere property for wine tastings, dining, and to purchase bottles, with no e-commerce or wholesale distribution described. A second revenue pillar is event hosting, anchored by two wedding venues (Vineyard Tent up to 200 guests at a $2,500 base and Vintner's Room up to 35 guests at a $1,000 base) with add-on wine bar service ($20 per adult), catering buffets ($30-$40 per guest), and in-house photography/videography ($500-$1,500). A third revenue layer consists of ticketed experiential events such as Barefoot Grape Stomping and Murder Mystery evenings distributed through Eventbrite. Primary customer segments are Wedding & Event Celebrants, Wine Enthusiasts & Locals, and Corporate Groups.

In 2021, following Matty Matarazzo's retirement, ownership transferred to the family of Mr. Luo, a Chinese educator who owns a neighboring 250-acre farm. Under new ownership, the company expanded its culinary program and formalized event packages and experiential offerings. The business remains privately held with no institutional funding, employs 11-50 people, and markets primarily through its website, Eventbrite, Google Reviews, and an in-house photographer partner.
