3 Ways to Enjoy the Harvest Season at Willow Creek Winery

Exterior of Willow Creek Winery 

For 15 years, Willow Creek Winery has been producing some of the finest wines in the country right here in Cape May. Though its open year-round harvest season is one of the best times to see the 50-acre vineyard come to life! So, grab a bike and go check it out.

The unique microclimate and the fertile sandy loam soil Willow Creek Winery sits in leads to exceptional grape harvests that rival the French Bordeaux. Their superior quality wines make it a must-visit while you’re in Cape May. They’re open year-round to tours and tastings and even live music events.

Harvest Time Tours

During harvest time, workers and volunteers are busy at work collecting ripe grapes picked fresh off the vine. The fruit used is crushed and aged to produce at least thirteen unique varieties of wines. Make a tour reservation and see it all in person. Climb aboard the electric cart and sit back as vineyard experts teach you about the farm’s history. Bring your camera for pictures of the changing leaves in the vineyard. 

Harvest Wine Tasting

Stop by for a wine tasting at Cape May’s premier winery. Bring your friends for an educational tasting tour. Learn how the experts taste and identify the different flavors and subtleties in each glass. Be the first to sample unreleased wines and learn about our wine-making process from vine to wine.

Fire Pit Friday at Willow Creek Winery

There’s nothing like enjoying a glass of your favorite fireside. Every Friday, Willow Creek Winery hosts a night of music and wine. Local musicians perform for winery guests as they appreciate the perfectly aged wines. Unwind on the patio overlooking the transitioning vines covering the farm. Enjoy farm-fresh favorites from the grill menu or delicious charcuterie while taking it all in.
