Unionville Vineyard is a winery in the Unionville section of East Amwell Township in Hunterdon County, New Jersey. Originally part of the largest peach orchard in the United States, the vineyard was first planted in 1988, and opened to the public in 1993. Unionville has 54 acres of grapes under cultivation, and produces 8,500 cases of wine per year. The winery is named for a former village near where the farm is located.

Unionville Vineyards specializes in the use of Alsatian, Burgundy, and Rhône grapes. Wine is produced from Albariño, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cayuga White, Chambourcin, Chardonnay, Counoise, Durif (Petite Sirah), Gewürztraminer, Horizon, Marsanne, Merlot, Mourvèdre, Petit Verdot, Pinot gris, Pinot noir, Riesling, Roussanne, Seyval blanc, Syrah, and Vidal blanc and Viognier grapes. It is the only winery in New Jersey that produces wine from Counoise, Horizon, Marsanne, and Roussanne – Horizon is a white hybrid grape developed in New York in 1945, whereas the other three varietals are vinifera grapes indigenous to the Rhone river valley of France.
