"And we danced all night to a soul fairy band And she kissed me just right like only a lonely angel can She felt so nice, just as soft as a spirit in the night" (Bruce Springsteen) There sure are plenty of spirits roaming around inside this farm-to-bottle distillery in Cape May. You can sample plenty of different cocktails along with a big helping of hospitality in their tasting room. They also have a big sales area and Bottle Shop with plenty of merch (clothing and food/drink) and bottles of their spirits for sale. Bottled spirits for sale include their Nauti vodka, jalapeño vodka, strawberry lemon basil vodka, two rums, two Bourbons, Rye, and two Whiskeys. Our party of four roamed through their gift shop where I picked up a 375 ml. bottle of Atlantic Bourbon ($45) for a bourbon-loving friend, two bags of beef sticks (@ $6), and an irresistible sounding jar of Orange Creamsicle Peanut Butter ($8). We hit the tasting room before we left, and I enjoyed a very refreshing Nauti Mary ($12) with their Nauti Spirits Vodka and house made Bloody Mary Blend. The rest of our party went the NA route and raved about their QUEEN OF HEARTS ($6) with Sprite, Cherry Syrup, Cherries, and a SPARKLER ($5) with a choice of Cherry, Orange, Pineapple or Ginger with club soda. All in all, visiting Nauti Spirits was fantastic, and it's a "must see" if you're ever near Cape May. read more

Beautiful sunny October afternoon and perfect location to spend our last day in New Jersey. Helen greeted us at the bar and served us awesome drinks. Krabby Patty and a Nauti Mule made with Rum were perfection in a glass. Fantastic experience. read more

Wonderful scenery. Chickens & flowers adorn the grounds. Large open fields. The drinks are really amazing! Fresh herbs & vegetable infused drinks. Loved that they have live entertainment & food vendors on site on certain days. read more

If you are in the Cape May or mid to southern NJ, you have to check out this distillery. Our second year here and we still love it. They have a crushed sea shell driveway after passing fields of flowers, especially sunflowers. Enter into the spacious distillery and check in for your stamp to enter the bar. It was raining so we decided to station doors but they have tents outside and it is very tranquil to stir and sip. Bartenders and staff do not make you wait or stay unquenched. A wide variety of drinks to wet your palate. Try all other blends of in house rums, gin, vodka, whiskeys and bourbon. We will always come back. read more

This was our first time at Nauti Spirits, it was a great stop. The person who was working the check in counter was friendly, and knowledgeable about the different spirits. Our two bartenders were nice and had a good understanding of the cocktails. The Pumpkin Espresso Martini, Goldie Hawk and Delaware Bay Breeze were delicious! They offer a good selection of nonalcoholic beer and mocktails. The outside area was family friendly and comfortable. We look forward to coming back! read more

Great spot for a drink. Really relaxed atmosphere and they sometimes have live music too. The outdoor space is massive with picnic tables and fire pits, both covered and not covered. The cocktails are a little pricey but worth it for their "grain to glass" spirits. We had great service while we were there, they put a table together for our large group and we were served at the bar very quickly. read more

Nauti Spirits is a fun and innovative experience in cocktails using local ingredients. They have a varied cocktail menu along with making requested drinks using award winning spirits made locally. Their Old Fashions are awesome and can made in with a variety of bourbons or other local made spirits. There are craft and draft cocktails choices as well as seasonal drinks that won't disappoint. The staff are professional and willing to provide suggestions for drink choices. This is beautifully designed indoor and outdoor space. Outdoors there are games as well as mazes for the kids. Outdoor seating and fire pits make this a great option for a weekend. Local music caps it off for a great experience. read more

Nauti Spirits Distillery - This is Joe. He's super happy. I think he's happy all the time probably cause he's drunk not quite sure but still a nice guy. - Distilleries Near Me - Cape May, New Jersey

The good: nice space inside and out, large menu, live music. The not so good: every cocktail we had was incredibly sweet. My friends and I go to a lot of distilleries and cocktail bars so we've tried a full spectrum of drinks and understand that many people do prefer a sweeter drink. However we couldn't understand why *every* drink is over-the-top sweet. Even drinks that aren't typically sugary like espresso martinis and old fashioneds. My martini tasted more like cereal milk than coffee. I get that it's a vacation town and a lot of tourists are going to visit here because of its location and lack of other distilleries, but I would suggest having a few lighter drinks to balance out the menu. read more

For any wine-curious Northern Jerseyers thinking about coming down to Cape May, do yourself a favor - bypass the wineries and go straight to the distillery. Nauti redeemed an uneven winery afternoon last Saturday after our crew had grown increasingly jaded by the grape-based offerings nearby, and based on the crowd, we weren't in the minority. The place was packed, which was kind of a positive and a negative. On one hand, we DID have to wait in line for about 10 minutes to get our cocktails, but the line moved very quickly (staffing was ample - when is the last time you could say that post-2020?) and the atmosphere inside and out was conducive to a solid good time. We had just come from a mediocre winery that didn't know how to handle large groups of people, so it was a nice change of pace to see an assembly line of bartenders who didn't skimp on service/quality just because there was an intimidating-looking line out the door (and that line was there from the moment we got there to when we left an hour or two later). Our mixologist/bartender was courteous and efficient - there wasn't any time for pleasantries/small talk - and handled our four-cocktail order with aplomb. I decided almost immediately to go with the Charmer, which was basically an Old-Fashioned with healthy dashes of vanilla and cherry. Delicious in every way. All of the ingredients were perfectly paired, no one item dominating the palate. Cocktail at its finest. In hindsight, I wish we had gotten here three hours earlier and just sipped these bad boys all day long. The weather was in our favor. Most of the day featured an ominous sky Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton would have enjoyed looking up at whilst driving around in a pickup truck on the Oklahoma highway, but the sun came out just as we got here, allowing us to plop down on some Adirondack chairs outside. (Only regret - I left my shades at home.) We also had the distinct pleasure of socializing with a nearby canine chum named Jessie, who was very well-mannered and distinguished. Even better, there was a strategically placed food truck toward the back that had perfect "drunk food" - solid chicken tenders and fries, if memory serves. The only negative - and I didn't take points off for it because it was easy to avoid - was the distillery's decision to place tons of seashells around the premise that absolutely reeked. I actually thought when we got to the entrance that we were near a kennel; it was that kind of smell. That strikes me as a relatively easy fix, even if you're intent on maintaining the nautical theme (and how can you not?) - either have the shells cleaned beforehand, or use something similar/non-smelly to decorate the grounds. Huge recommend - one of our absolute favorites. I'm not totally sold on Cape May as a vacation destination going forward, but this is a pretty strong selling point for the area. read more

The best craft cocktails. All ingredients made in house. Beautiful setting inside & outside. Great place to relax with friends

CAPE MAY: Nauti Spirits Distillery is one of the largest distilleries in the state and most of their ingredients come from their farm and other NJ farmers. Their property is beautiful and spacious and leashed dogs are allowed at the outdoor seating. There are tented areas for shade and tables out in the field for some sun. Bring a friend to order inside and then enjoy the outdoor countryside feel. Nauti makes vodka, gin, rum, whiskey blends, bourbon, and you can order a delicious cocktail. There is also a produce shop on-site called Peabody Farms, live music on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, and seasonal decorations to get you into the holiday spirit. read more

Loved this place! The food was okay from a good truck, I would suggest at least 2 food trucks to choose from, but the food was ok. The bar service was excellent and their drinks are off the charts! The location is in a great place, where people can either chill outside and enjoy the farm and sun. The inside the bar had a great ambiance with music by a great singer. We enjoyed it all! read more

I'm impressed with Nauru Spirits. I went during the off season on a Sunday and it was crowded but the bartenders were still patient, thorough, and put time into ensuring delicious drinks. Pro tip: if you sit at the bar, they serve you quickly! If you choose to sit outside, you'll need to wait on line to order drinks. You can't go wrong inside or outside - both areas are beautiful. They typically have a food truck outside too. I don't typically like draft cocktails but the ones here are great! I also like that they change the menu often to use seasonal ingredients (think apple cider for fall) and that you can request a "skinny" cocktail. read more

Cute place, just didn't care for the drinks. The Bloody Mary mix was very watery. I can only assume they were running out and started adding water to it, not sure. Definitely the worst Bloody Mary I've ever had though, didn't bother fur a second drink. read more

Checked out this spot during a recent visit to Cape May and it was really great! The drinks are interesting and well made, their spirits are smooth overall! The people are nice and the live music the night we were there created a nice relaxing environment. The tents outdoors are nice and the flowers were in full bloom when we were visiting! We didn't try the food truck but it's nice that it's an option while you're spending time there! Definitely would recommend read more

Such a cool spot! A little hard to get a drink due to the line at the bar but otherwise drinks were delicious, a little pricey, but overall great vibes! Will definitely be back! read more

Loved the ambiance of this place! Items were a little pricey, but quality was nearly worth it. Pro tip: if you want to try the spirits, especially the bourbon or whisky, do it at the bar. It's free there if you end up buying a drink. But if you go to the spirits room the samples are TINY and $2-$4 each. I will say this is THE best Bloody Mary I have ever had. I typically do not like them at all, I want it spicy but with quality flavor. Their jalapeño bloody hit the nail on the head! I wish I could come back for this over and over again. The Old Bay rim was a nice touch too. read more

Bottom Line: Tasty cocktails, friendly staff and a laid back atmosphere. I'm a fan of Nauti Spirits Distillery. I found it via Yelp and it was a great place to spend a Saturday afternoon with friends. We were warmly greeted by a staff member who gave us the lay of the land and made us feel welcome. It wasn't long before we'd made cocktail selections, ordered drinks at the bar and were cheersing in the backyard. I tried the Delaware Bay Breeze which was made with vodka, fresh lime juice, pineapple syrup and cranberry. Something very cool about this refreshing beverage is that many of syrups are made on-site at Nauti Spirits Distillery. Nauti Spirits distills vodka, gin, rum and whiskey. They have a store that sells spirits and merchandise and I wish I'd gotten a bottle to go. Yo ho ho. Nauti Spirits is located on a 60 acre farm so there is plenty of room to relax outside and social distance. This seems to be a popular place for special gatherings and the Day Sipper tasting tours stop at Nauti Spirits too. Despite there being various celebrations going on it was a very laid back atmosphere and we were lucky to visit on a beautiful late summer day. read more

The vibe here is great. We came on what started to be a rainy day and turned out to be sunny and bright. We were able to secure some chairs outside which was fantastic. We didn't have sunglasses so most of us purchased a hat inside and what a way to end the day. The drinks were really good and there was a food truck on site to get some fried food. We also saw many dogs and parties as well as bachelorette parties happening so there was a mix of things happening. There aren't that many chairs outside so I would bring your own if you have it and it's a nice day. The only down fall is they have broke seashells outside and is omits this horrible odor. read more

Low-Key | Food-Truck | One Bar Low-Key: The place has great vibes. it is very low-key and you can bring your own snacks. So, definitely bring food. There are 5 different areas: The bar, The back area, the tent, the outdoor space, and the distillery area. Each area holds about 30 people. Therefore, you Food-Truck: There is a food truck with basic bar food behind the facility. it's about a 100-meter walk from the building. The food is good and I highly recommend the fries and chicken tenders. Others in our group had the nachos and highly praised them. One Bar: The only downside is that this place only has 1 bar. Therefore, it takes A LONG time to get a drink. Therefore, when you go to the bar make sure you get two drinks. We had to wait in line for 20-25 minutes each time and there were only 8-10 people in front of us. Pro Tip: The facility is in the middle of nowhere. Therefore, it tends to be an all-day or significant portion of your day's activity. Pro Tip: You should plan to get there early than later because once they are at 60-70% capacity, they are overwhelmed. Pro Tip: if it is raining, expect a lot of people to be there. It is a popular thing to do in the area when the beach is out of commission. read more

Love love love this place. We camped in Cape May two weekends in a row. Went here the first weekend and twice the second weekend. Bloody Mary's are amazing. We also had lunch from the food truck and it was really good. We brought our dog the second weekend also. Get there early because it gets busy. read more

The blue sage cocktail that I ordered was surprisingly not blue. But it was made with gin that the Lady at the front desk pointed out doesn't taste like traditional gin but rather tastes like botanicals. I agree that It is far better than a traditional gin taste. So here even during COVID-19 they have a beautiful place to sit and have a drink in summertime. Either at Picnic tables Adirondack chairs or under umbrellaed tables. Nice playlists too. Can't wait to enjoy them here even more in the off-season into November read more

Great spot for you and your buds to chill and drink refreshing cocktails in the summer heat. The drinks are varied but to get the drinks, the line can be long so have patience. There is a limited cocktail menu outside, and its cash only. Lots of dogs and chickens. Pretty entertaining to see owners try to hold their dogs back from attacking the chickens. The food truck is meh. Wish they had better food truck options. Bring your beach chairs to ensure your crew have seats once it gets crowded. read more

This is a great little distillery on an adorable farm just outside of Cape May, NJ. They have a large variety of cocktails, both handcrafted & on tap. We enjoyed tasting quite a few with work friends around the fire pit & had a beautiful evening together! It's always fun to check out the outdoor area (you can feed the chickens and they wander around sometimes which is entertaining) & they had live music inside too. The food from the food truck is really good & the people running it are the sweetest! The Nauti Spirits team has always been nice & friendly even when they're quite busy. We live in Pittsburgh but have been here about 4-5 times over the last couple of years. Definitely recommend checking this spot out if you're in the area. Cheers! read more

Awesome location. Cocktails were delicious! Love the swag for sale. Will definitely go back

I was visiting Cape May for my friend's Bachelorette weekend. We didn't have any plans except for Dinner later that night, so we decided to try this distillery. The grounds are beautiful and it was not crowded at all, we felt like we had the whole place to ourselves for a while! The female/blonde bartender was super friendly and nice! We each ordered a flight of three cocktails (referred to as kegtails - on tap!) for only $12! They were all so delicious! I picked the Spring Fling, Shunpike Punch, and Bowline. Spring Fling was gin, lavender, acai, lemon, and bubbles. Shunpike Punch was rum, orange juice, lime juice, and lemon juice. Bowline was gin, orange juice, pineapple juice, lime juice, and grenadine. The flights are just a tad hard to carry if you have to walk a long distance (my friends and I walked outside to the red picnic tables), but these cocktails were absolutely phenomenal and got us all tipsy!! They also have a food truck, but we brought our own food. The grounds are also very pretty and they have firepits and Adirondack chairs to sit on! read more

Love this place!!! Amazing drinks... amazing mixologists... definite place to stop by! My only regret was not getting here earlier in the day to check out the scenery. We came on. Sunday night at 6:30ish and they close at 8. So we only had type for a few drinks. Drinks: Draft Cocktail - they had flights and this was a nice way to try a few drinks in the short amount of time Cranberry Mule - I had to try a drink made from the mixologist (Rita on the Rocks is the best ). It's made with their own in house ginger beer and was perfect! So refreshing! Lots of space inside and I liked the decor and the play on the name (Nauti and Nice hehe). Definitely a place I'll go back too! read more

Delicious cocktails, spacious outdoor seating, farm vibes, and a convenient food truck! There was a short line at the bar when we first entered, but we luckily grabbed the last 2 bar seats. It was a bit too hot for us to stay outside but plenty of others enjoyed the outdoors! There was a farm stand with strawberries for sale along side the food truck. Sean, the bartender, remained calm through the waves of patrons and took the time to converse with us. He was very knowledgeable about the spirits and helped my husband chose which whiskey to use in his old fashioned. A local artist eventually set up her work to sell while a local musician got started with his set. This was our favorite stop during this Cape May visit! read more
