Wantage is a township located in Sussex County in the Skylands Regions of northwestern New Jersey. As of the 2010 census, the population was 11,358. Wantage was incorporated in 1798 as part of the state's initial group of original 104 townships. The community is situated in the Kittatinny Valley, which is a part of the Great Appalachian Valley that stretches from Canada to Alabama. Wantage is home to Ventimiglia Vineyard, a winery opened to the public in 2008, and named for the family that owns it. The winery produces 830 cases of wine per year. Wantage is also near High Point State Park. The park contains 14,193 acres and was dedicated in 1923. Route 23 circles the park and is the major route for visitors from the New Jersey suburbs and New York into the park. Entrance fees are charged Memorial Day through Labor Day. High Point State Park contains part of the Appalachian Trail that follows a rocky ridge, offering outstanding views of the valleys and mountains. To the north, the trail drops off the ridge through hemlock gorges into former agricultural fields. From this vantage point, one can view the surrounding countryside and the High Point Monument in the distance. The Monument was built to honor war veterans, is 220 feet tall with a 34-square foot base. There are four small windows in the tower which offers views of the ridges of the Pocono Mountains, Catskill Mountains and the Wallkill River Valley.
