Reviewed By elwood18974 - Warminster, United States

So worth the trip - we were staying less than 10 minutes away and I decided to surprise my family. We'd never been to an Alpaca farm before so my wife and two teenage sons were very surprised - and we all thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Jim was our host - he had the necessary handwashing and sanitizing station prepared. After a short introduction, he provided us bags of carrots (teats for the Alpacas) and walked us to the pen to see the male Alpacas, followed soon after by female Alpaca in their pen. Jim was an awesome host, answered all our questions, and taught us all about Alpaca - they are such friendly animals. This visit was definitely worth the time and money!

Cape May Winery & Vineyard

Here at the Cape May Winery, we pride ourselves on maintaining a family-owned and operated business that provides our customers with quality wines, exceptional service, and a relaxing atmosphere that makes everyone feel a part of our family after the first sip! The Cape May Winery’s journey began in 1989 with the planting of the first vines in Cape May County which started our Townbank Vineyard. Today, we grow 11 different varietals across 4 vineyards totaling 26 acres. As you can imagine, a lot has happened over the years! We invite you to be a part of our story during your next visit to Cape May and take a journey all your own through one of our tastings or tours. Wander through the many different rooms that make up the winery, explore our beautiful grounds, and and enjoy tapas from our kitchen all while discovering your own passion for wine. Cheers!

We had their wine tasting, since we liked what we tasted, we had a full glass and sat on the enclosed porch, enjoyed the winery and relaxed. Service was great, wine great and surroundings relaxing.
