    On 10/10 my husband & I took a trip to Cape May Winery for the first time! Now not a lot of NJ…read morewineries impress me but this winery is definitely in my top 3 favorites! The wines were very flavorful & not overly sweet! The outside accommodations were lovely & so much room! The indoor sections were also spacious and lovely. If we had not been on a budget for our wedding we both agreed this would have been a top contender for a venue to get married at! The staff was very friendly & welcoming! The wine selections were incredible & the food was also tasty! Definitely will come back down if we visit the area again!

    If Willow Creek winery is closed and you're tempted to go to Cape May winery as a consolation, do…read moreyourself a favor and go buy a bottle of wine and drink it at home. The whole set up is confusing. You have to wait to get seated, but then you have to go order your drinks and your food separately a la fast food restaurant vibe. And when I say drinks and food separately, I mean, order food in one line and go to a separate line to order wine. No opportunity to have a taste before you commit to a glass if you want to try several different whites or several different reds you have to order a flight. Because nobody's pouring you a sip and asking you what you think. I'd have had a better experience drinking a bottle of wine at home.

The tour guide was fantastic & really went through every possible detail on the family & the history. Came with my friends on the first day of our CM vacation on a weekend. Pretty easy enough to purchase tickets ahead of time at the gift store. All in all a perfect way to spend a few hours learning about the local history! Highly recommend!!!!

    Whenever I'm traveling I do my best to look up if there are any museums or historical points of…read moreinterest I can check out. Even though Cape May is known mostly as a Jersey Shore resort community, there's a lot of eye candy in the form of Victorian architecture - including some historic estates. One of these is the Emlen Physick Estate, and since they offer tours of the house I thought it would be a great way to spend part of my afternoon. Located on Washington St slightly away from the main hustle and bustle of CM, the Emlen Physick Estate sits on a sizeable piece of land somewhat inward from the street. The property contains the main house, a carriage house which now holds the gift shop and a restaurant, and another building used for administration. The estate is run by Cape May MAC, who worked to restore the house back in the 70s. In addition to the standard estate tour, they also offer trolley tours and evening "haunted" tours on the property. The Estate was built for Dr. Emlen Physick, who came from a prominent family. I won't give away the details of the tour, but they did a really good job discussing the history of the property, Physick and his family, as well as all of the architecture and decor of the estate. Our tour guide did a great job with every aspect of the tour, including answering our questions. One thing I noticed was that the promo pictures here on Yelp show historical interpreters guiding the tour, but we didn't have that. Our guide was great, but a historical interpreter would have been a funner touch. The tour took about 45 minutes to an hour, and afterwards we were given free-reigns to explore the carriage house which had merch and a small self-guided tour area. Overall, I enjoyed my time at the Emlen Physick Estate; it's definitely worth taking the time to explore and a welcome contrast to the typical beach things to do in the area.
