Cape May New Jersey Wineries
Who can resist a good winery? The scenery is beautiful, the food divine, and the different wine selections are wonderful. A wonderful afternoon at one of Cape May's wineries is a perfect outing. The Queen Victoria® offers lodging close to three Cape May County wineries.
Cape May Winery
The Cape May Winery has been in production for over 10-years and is currently owned by the Craig family, which also owns some of Cape May's most famous restaurants. They offer wine tasting, a gift shop, self-guided tours, and a picnic on the deck or lawn. Guests can purchase cheese trays and blankets, or you can bring your own for a romantic outing.

Hawk Haven Vineyard and Winery
Hawk Haven opened its doors in June of 2009 and has already established itself as a winery to be taken seriously. Though brand new, the quality of Hawk Haven's wine is impressive. Anna Marie and I especially like their "Red Table Wine", a name that does not do it justice. The tasting room is beautifully decorated and you'll feel right at home the moment you step through the door. Be sure to make Hawk Haven a stop on your wine travels during your visit to Cape May.
