Renault Winery

I recently had the pleasure of attending a wedding at this beautiful winery, and I can’t say enough good things about the experience. The setting was absolutely stunning—lush vineyards, scenic views, and a rustic elegance that made the perfect backdrop for a truly memorable celebration. A special shout-out to John, the manager, whose professionalism and attention to detail made everything run seamlessly. From the initial setup to the final toast, he was present, helpful, and clearly dedicated to making the day perfect. We were also incredibly impressed with Kathy, our waitress for the evening. She was warm, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure guests were comfortable and well taken care of throughout the night. Everything—from the food and wine to the service and atmosphere—was exceptional. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a magical location to host their special day.

I hosted a golf outing here and had a fantastic experience from start to finish. The golf staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and accommodating—making the day run smoothly for our entire group. The course was in great shape and offered just the right mix of challenge and fun. The staff was fantastic leading up to the event with changes, and best practices to make the day more memorable. After our round, we stayed for lunch, and the food did not disappoint. Everything was fresh, well-prepared, and delicious—perfect way to wrap up a great day on the course. Highly recommend for both casual rounds and organized events. We'll definitely be back!

Golf, a tour and not much more My wife and I spent a Sunday & Monday nights at Renault Winery. I had heard good things about the property and wanted to check it out. It turns out Renault went into foreclosure about 2016 and actually sat desolate for a few years, before being re-purchased just prior to the pandemic. It was purchased by Vivamee Hospitality, which I believe is an India-owned business. Only two things really happen at this property; golf and weddings/formal parties; and LOTS of weddings. There are two or three a weekend at this place which explains why it was so difficult to get a room on a Friday or Saturday night. Mostly Indian weddings. It’s been going through renovations, but it’s got a long way to go. A lot was closed down on site despite it being the beginning of June. Their main eatery is called Taste, but the dinner we had didn’t have much of that unfortunately. We took the tour…all the woman kept talking about was their weddings; they really push them here. Our room was supposed to have a stocked fridge, but it must have broke and instead they gave us a tiny cooler/fridge instead…not impressed. The pool looked deserted; I’ve think you’ll find better at a Motel 6. Listen; unless you’re on a golf outing with your buddies, or attending a wedding, I do not recommend visiting this winery overnight. As it is, it’s located in the middle of nowhere. There’s other places in the area worth more of your time.

Took a one night getaway to the Renault Winery with my wife to have dinner and play golf the next day. We had dinner at "Taste 1864" the on-site restaurant. Dinner and the service from Heather was excellent! The hotel staff and front desk employees could not have been more pleasant. The hotel room was well sized and nicely appointed, very comfortable. We also took a Winery tour that was provided by Jessica. She was fantastic and brought the history of the winery to life with her stories and enthusiasm. All in all a great way to spend the weekend. Vineyard National is a nice resort golf course and on property which is very convenient.

Daughter’s wedding June 28 at the champagne room at Renault was beautiful. Breanna from day one was amazing with making my daughter’s day perfect. John the director of culinary was so great with making sure all our needs were met. The chef was impressive ! He met with us multiple times to make sure our menu was just right and my guests did say how amazing especially the sea bass was. The creme brule and chocolate cookies were the best if ever had. The wedding assistants day and night were very attentive and helpful through out the day. The grounds were kept so clean and every person working stops to say hi and are so nice. I must say was a little nervous when I heard that there were 2 others weddings going on same day but I must say you would have never know ! My daughter had the best wedding! Thank you all for making our day so magical it could not have been done with out all of you.

Our wedding experience with Renault Winery and Resort has been nothing short of exceptional! We first had our venue tour back in Dec ’23 and after meeting Breanna Carey we didn’t look any further. Our wedding was a 250+ people Indian ceremony in March ’25 in the Champagne Ballroom, lunch in the Vineyard Ballroom, and the reception and farewell brunch in the Champagne Ballroom. The venue itself is beautiful, and the food, atmosphere, etc., all made our wedding so memorable. We are still getting compliments on how lovely everything was. Our experiences with Breanna and the Renault staff were perfect, any concerns we had were handled quickly, and there was no point that I felt like I had to truly wait for a response. Everyone was beyond accommodating, making sure all our small requests were followed, from s’mores tart and apple cobbler offered during dessert to having an extra table in my hotel room for hair and makeup. There was no point where we were told they couldn’t handle something. Wedding day, everything was smooth sailing with our timeline followed and everyone having the best time! Our experience was everything we wanted and more! I can’t recommend Renault and especially Breanna Carey enough! Thank you to Breanna, Jay, Rylee, Jessica, and Cathy! It wouldn’t have been the same without all your help!

We had our annual high school awards ceremony dinner at Renault, and it was outstanding! All Renault staff were incredibly helpful and accommodating, the food was great, and our students, parents, and staff loved the beautiful setting. It was such a special note to the end of our school year. We're definitely coming back for additional years in the future!

Our wedding day at Renault was absolutely magical truly the best day ever! From start to finish, Angela, Faith, Meghan, and Stephanie were nothing short of amazing. I definitely recommend requesting them. Their professionalism, warmth, and attention to every little detail ensured that our day was seamless and stress-free. The team went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for us, and we felt so well taken care of. The venue itself is breathtaking, if you're considering booking a wedding at Renault, don’t think twice! The team and the venue together create an unforgettable experience that every bride and groom deserve. We couldn’t have asked for a better day!

Stopped by on a slow day today and happened to sit at bar inside for a sample and a snack. God bless our Bartender Darlene. I don't know much about wines except I don't like White, Sharp or Sweet wines. Kinda table wine guy, blends and Chianti. Did not want to a flight tasting and pour out three of four wines. She made a recommendation and hit the nail perfectly. Great personality and a fun bartender. Some appetizers, wine and we were happy campers. Rick from the Cat

Signage is lacking! I was meeting friends at Taste 1864 for dinner, but without parking and getting out of my car there weren't any signs indicating where Taste 1864 is located. With three different parking lots and a lot of great venue options signage should be bold and easily accessible for patrons! Taste 1864 offers a well rounded menu that's not overwhelming, but plenty of options for all palates. Weekly events include Country Sunday, Monday- Friday Happy Hours, Taco Thursday, Friday- Sunday there's Vintner's Select menu, and breakfast. There's a happy hour Monday-Friday, a few food items and beverages. Thursday is Taco and margaritas. There's also a small bakery that has hot breakfast on the weekends (Fri-Sun). They have quite a few unique and fun events throughout the year.

Stayed in a 2x queen room for two nights. The room was clean, and the hotel was very nice. The mirror in the room was about to fall off the wall, the deadbolt did not lock, and the backup lock flip-out was not secured to the wall as there was loose and missing screws. The hotel took no fewer than 90 minutes to deliver fresh towels. I was not pleased with the experience for the cost of the stay.

A beautiful venue! I can't speak to much else, but the blueberry champagne was an absolute treat. I'd consider it a must-try as it's unique to this winery!

My husband n I were on a short trip n decided to eat at Renault we had a great experience our server was Jeremy n he was so knowledgeable with all the wines n food! The atmosphere is amazing! If u are in town I would highly recommend n definitely ask if the server Jeremy is available!

Perfect for after golf or a special occasion. They have a nice selection of wines (of course), beer and cocktails. We sat on their beautiful patio and had a snack with cocktails. Perfect!

EGG HARBOR CITY: Renault Winery & Resort has been a destination for over 150 years and is always ranked as one of the best wineries in NJ! Leashed and friendly dogs are allowed to join you at their outdoor Wine and Beer Garden! It is a beautifully decorated space with French-inspired gardens, live entertainment, a TV to watch the game, and they also have a menu of American-style food. Reservations are highly recommended, which you can conveniently make on their website. The property is host to weddings and parties, so their selection of drinks not only includes their home-grown champagne and red and white wine, but also local craft beer featuring @three3sbrewing, and full-bar options. We hung out at the bar and met Nicole, Charles, and their sweet lab Gus! They love visiting Renault to enjoy the beautiful grounds. They let us know that in the winter, there is a pop-up "Vintner Village" which includes ice skating, shopping from local small businesses, fire pits, drinks, food, and more! Check their website for fun events throughout the year, including special Dog Days!

Wow. It's been 15 years since our last visit. Seems like a completely different place. Renovated and looks like a Resort that offers so much. The outdoor areas are magnificent. The restaurant was quite good, although we only had a few items. The Charcuterie Platter (a bit expensive for the platter @27$) had the typical Cured meats and cheese. I do think, for the price there should have been more variety, savory and sweet. The quality was pretty good. The Cocktails were poured expertly and tasted first-class. The Onion Soup was very good, served hot, and had a good value. The Salmon was moist, cooked perfectly on a bed of cous cous. The flavor was also very good. Service was excellent, friendly, and welcoming. Stephanie was excellent and knew the whole resort very well and answered many of our questions. Yes..we will be back.

Our first visit to the Renault Winery and it was for a family wedding! Such a wonderful experience! Great ambiance! Beautiful views! Amazing service! The cuisine and of the the wine/drinks were extraordinary! Highly recommend!

We arrived an hour early for our tee time and decided to grab lunch at the on-site restaurant on their recommendation. The restaurant was bustling with wine tasters, which added to the wait time. It took about 40 minutes for our food to be served, so we ended up having a quick lunch. The golf course itself was enjoyable, and we had a great time playing the full 18 holes.

This place was really beautiful, I went for a wedding reception and it was so wonderful and it was giving me Alice in wonderland vibe. I would definitely want to get married here. The staff were very professional and the food was pretty good. I definitely look forward to the events they hold here or even just to go out to eat. I highly recommend this place

We stayed one night at the hotel so we could enjoy the winery part of the resort. The hotel and winery are beautiful. The rooms was nice but we had some issues. One issue with the room design is that when you go out onto the balcony, all you see is the parking lot. Not the greatest view when you pay for a premium view. If I had known that, I would've booked a standard room. Another issue was that we were woken up by someone walking up and down the hallway or stairway constantly. The walls must be super thin because we kept hearing it around 7:00 AM. A tip for guests who arrive. Make sure you bring your own toiletry essential because this hotel does not offer any for free other than the standard shampoo, conditioner, and bath gel. This includes toothpaste, makeup wipes, Q-tips, etc. Another downside was there's a $50 charge to get a late checkout. We just asked for an extra hour since 10am was kind of early but we didn't want to pay an extra $50. As for location, be prepared to stay on the property. Nothing else is really around the resort. It's a quiet town with not many restaurants or stores to go to. Recommend you go on a Friday or Saturday. We went on a Sunday and the restaurant and resort area were completely dead by like 8pm. Not much night life after then since most people are gone. I would assume the same for midweek.

A group of 5 families and us drove 1-2 hours to Renault for the "Vinter Wonderland". We bought ice skating tickets and rented a fire pit. As soon as we sat down, Renault decided to close everything early. We asked why and an employee told us because it was too warm (It was 45 degrees). The bar, food stands, and shops (and even the bathroom!) were all locked by 2pm. Nobody came to tend to our fire the entire time. It was like Wally World from National Lampoon's Vacation, but even John Candy wasn't around. The garbage cans were also shut down (staff came by and tied up the bags so we wouldn't throw trash in them) so we were unable to throw away our trash. And the bathrooms were locked, too. I'm not sure what this it normally like but it was a really odd experience. The indoor areas of Renault were still open but just seems odd that because it was 45 degrees they decided to close the outdoor area early and wanted us to leave. Hopefully we can get refunded for the ice skating tickets and rentals.

This venue wants nothing more than your money. A while back my wife and I attended a craft festival. When we pulled up to the parking lot we were amazed that they wanted $10 from us for parking. The venue is so far back from any other parking options $10 is really an admission fee and nothing more. This fee was never advertised in any of their social media sites. So the surprise upon entering the venue was shocking. Today we wanted to attend their "Independent Country Music Festival" and beer tasting tent. Again, they wanted you to either pay and get free parking or pay $10 for parking. We ended up going to a local winery instead where the parking is FREE and there was music. As a music fan I wanted to see who was playing. An Independent Country Music Festival sounds like there would be a bunch of country musicians to listen to. NO, their "Independent Country Music Festival" had little to do with country music and had very few artists. I wouldn't attend any of their events as most of the time they aren't transparent about costs.

I brought a ticket to attend the bubbles and brunch Charcuterie 101. The event was at the hotel in one of there banquet rooms. The pastry chef and in house wine expert gave a great presentation and I learned a lot about pairing certain foods with mimosas. The cupcakes are infused with the blueberry champagne jam and pink champagne jam. There were no menu of the brunch, they told us. I wish they had a brunch menu, I can't remember all the delicious foods. I enjoyed everything. It was a beautiful venue and we were not rushed out. They answered everyone questions. I will be attending another event.

We stayed at Renault chateau to attend a wedding at the winery. There were two weddings that day and the winery is open to the public. Pros: -The ceremony and reception were beautiful. Very nice grounds for pictures. -The fire pits are a nice casual option for early guests in addition to an indoor bar space and outdoor seating. Overall outdoor spaces were lovely. -The wedding entrees were very good, I'm not usually as impressed by wedding food. -The bridal suite was easy access to the reception which was helpful for the bride. -There is wine for purchase in the hotel rooms which is nice to wind down with a glass. Cons: -The layout for the cocktail hour and food is a little awkward with a narrow hallway. -The hotel is not very flexible and the rooms are lacking. There was no where to hang a dress, no place to store luggage if you arrive before check in, no shower soaps outside some body lotion, and overall the space is small. -The cafe at the winery is very expensive for a breakfast the next morning. -There is minimal cell phone service in the area, but the winery does offer public Wi-Fi. Overall, I'd still enjoy Renault for a winery day trip but I would not recommend staying over.

We attended the Pick and Press event yesterday as a large group of family. It was $55 for the ticket. It was a windy day- but we were able to ride the tractor to the vineyard and pick our own grapes. However, our driver informed us that it's basically off season now and that most of the vineyard was dead so there wasn't many grapes to choose from. We filled a little bit of our bucket with some grapes. Brian and JP were great guys and they did a wonderful job. I think if the facility knows this time of year grapes are not abundant they maybe shouldn't do an event like this. However we still were able to watch the whole process of pressing the grapes and making some juice which was delicious and we got to taste. We sampled the red and white wines and had a small platter of charcuterie. The grounds are beautiful and very well kept. We went inside once the tour was finished to eat and our waitress was very nice. Food was decent for a winery and the drinks were good! Overall a nice day trip for us.

What an absolutely stunning place to have a wedding. Not only was the food great and service amazing, but the landscape and decor on the inside was beautiful. From the big trees, bridge, and chandeliers there are plenty of photo opts and great places to make memories. I enjoyed my experience so so much! My third wedding in a week and this was definitely my favorite location. The wine was great! **Bring your own Red Bull otherwise it's gonna be like a 15 dollar vodka drink lol

When got here around 7pm on a Sunday and the wine tasting room even tho listed open til 9pm was not due to a wedding which bummed me out. I loveeee doing wine tasting because it's interesting to hear about the wine from a specialist. Even tho it was closed we stayed in the restaurant area and did have a wine flight allowing us to taste the wines. Only issue the flights did not come with labels so if you happen to move a glass or what not you couldn't recall what was what. Due to our amazing server we were able to arrange it to try and have some order to the glasses. I didn't absolutely love the wine but it wasn't bad. I would said the Franc is one of my favorites there. The winery grounds are amazing! It has beautiful decor inside and out. They have something going on weekend and can see on their website. During the winters they have globes that I am hoping to go back and visit and maybe get that tasting I was hoping for. Since we were at the restaurant we did get some food. My husband had the salmon which he said was delicious. I had the asian wings which I loved the flavor. We did also order a charcuterie board which for $25 was not worth it AT ALL. I would not recommend anyone to order it. It was not worth the price. If it was more around $15-18ish maybe I would say okay, but over all I wouldn't order it again for the price. My husband also got the cheesecake and you can tell it was out of a box style one and not freshly made or home style. So I wouldn't get that either and he is a cheesecake LOVER. So it was disappointing as well The servicer we had was very nice. Sadly I don't recall her name I think it was with a C or K haha. But she was super friend, very helpful with the menu & questions. Overall I will be visiting again. I do hope for a bit of a different menu.

For such a beautiful place the service is SO horrible. It's really unfortunate . We paid 100 dollars for a fire pit and we're met with the slowest waitress service and a fire that was not lit for the most part , Even the bar backs were expressing to us that the service here was such a mess. Very disappointed. Will be hard to return.

A winery with really beautiful grounds, both inside and out. They have a cute setup Year round along with special events. I visited most recently for their Vinter Wonderland setup in the winter. They have fire pits, food, hot and cold drinks, an ice skating rink, live music and tractor rides around the property. Admittedly I probably wouldn't do the tractor ride again, or at least not at night. The ride was much long than expected and it was pitch black so we really couldn't see anything and were just on a cold, bumpy ride. Other than that the whole property and offerings are lovely. A nice spot to spend a day or night with friends or family. Great photo ops as well.

on March 23, 2024 I attended the wedding of my steps on here. The place is lovely. The weather did not cooperate that day. However, it was a lovely wedding. The food was not that great. Cocktail hour food was mediocre and the meal for dinner was very lackluster. I had braised short ribs, which were tough, and not falling apart as short ribs should. Otherwise, the evening was fine.. my biggest complaint and issue was with the wedding coordinator that was in charge, or really lack of in charge! I don't know her name she was a brunette. Her hair was pulled back in a bun her ponytail, and she was probably the most unorganized individual. Should've been a relaxing morning for the bride became very stressful because the wedding coordinator was really kind of absent and didn't coordinate much times kept changing for pictures, and the bride would only find out moments before they needed to be changed. Additionally, all the groomsmen walked out during the wedding with no boutonnieres because the wedding coordinator did not hand them out, the mother of the bride and the mother of the groom did not get their corsages. Guess we're arriving sitting down at the indoor venue where the wedding was to take place. But then we were told they had to leave and go sit somewhere else, and it was very offputting because some of the guys who were arriving were elderly and had walkers and needed to sit. The wedding coordinator never organized the procession or told anybody where to be and when to be there before the wedding began so it looked very unprofessional, and very unorganized. This greatly stressed out the bride who was already stressed out because the wedding had to be inside rather than outside because of the weather. Advice would be get a better wedding planner or educate this one on how to actually get a wedding to pull off without a hitch because this girl. was awful. For the money the couple put out for this wedding. It was disappointing that they couldn't be provided a more organized wedding coordinator. Otherwise, there was a beautiful wedding. The venue was beautiful and the next day the weather happened to be beautiful finally

Really cute place. It was all decorated for Christmas with shops, igloos, a skating rink, fire pits, lights, etc. It was very busy though as a wedding was also taking place and the guests seemed to commingle with the non-wedding guests which I thought was odd. Did a red wine flight and enjoyed the wines and the charcuterie board we got. Would go back.

I really wanted to LOVE this place because it really is GORGEOUS!!! Buttttt..... overall it was pretty disappointing. I'm gonna break it down a little bit, because not everything was horrible. Scenery - Gorgeous setting and great for photo ops! For private events and weddings, I'm sure you will get stunning photos! Wine/Champagne - I did have their Blueberry Champagne which was probably my most favorite drink that I tried! I was surprised that the drink didn't have a bluish color to it, it was more of a rose color, but smelled of fresh blueberries with a great fresh blueberry taste that was not too sweet and had the right amount of bubbles to quench your thirst. I wish i had tried the 2 other champagnes now, but I did go home with a bottle of the Blueberry champagne - The 2 reds (which I'm a red wino) that I did try were lacking in flavor and just kind bored me. I had the Cabernet Sauvignon which was pretty bland, and the 2020 Red Rouge, which also was pretty lackluster. Disappointing as I prefer red wines more. - The Rose was refreshing and probably the 2nd drink that I preferred. - Fleur de Blanc was light, fruity, not overly sweet but refreshing. FOOD - First, it took forever to even get our cheese and charcuterie board. Then by the time we got it, we didn't want to order more because we thought it would take another hour. - the cheese and charcuterie board was horrible! Tons of blue cheese, which I lobe blue cheese, but nothing went well with it. The other 2 cheeses, which we have no idea what they were but they were good. I just wish we knew what they were. - only got 4 little pieces of tiny tiny STALE bread that was almost so unappetizing to eat . I was so hungry that I still ate it. Overall, such a disappointing cheese and charcuterie board Entertainment - There was live music, which created a fun atmosphere to hang out and relax outside with good company Overall, if you're in the area, the place is pretty to stop by and maybe catch one of the live bands. Otherwise, if you're driving from afar, i personally don't think it's worth the trip.

Eat before you arrive is all I can say! Pros: 1: Beautiful grounds 2: Indoor and outdoor dining 3: staff 4: live music on Thursday!! The band 7/22/21 EXCELLENT!!!! Cons: 1: BAD BAD FOOD! 2: no WiFi to access the QR code on the menu 3: Service ok, although mask wearing has been lifted I suggest that the servers wear masks because they get in your face to talk over the band. 4: Did I say BAD FOOD? This winery has everything you need except for good food. The ambience, grounds and the band were all great. Regarding the wine, it was fair enough. I enjoyed the reserve champagne it's pricey for jersey wine but I went with it anyway. The menu offers many options however proceed with caution. Here I had the worst nachos I ever had in my entire life. It's as if somebody dumped a bag of nachos from Save a Lot in a cheap plastic container then threw some off brand cheese whiz with prepackaged frozen chicken pieces that were extremely small and tasteless. You know the cubed pieces you find and frozen entrées at one of those discount food stores. My crab cake lacked CRAB, it was mushy and closer to crab imperial. It was 'fried', browned on the outside put it oozed out the bun. I will return after I've had lunch/dinner somewhere else for the ambiance, live music and a beer.

We had a lousy experience at the Renault Hotel . When we arrived at the front desk, the woman that checked us in had zero personality nor poise when greeting a new customer - she didn't give us any details about the amenities, didn't wish us a nice stay, etc. We were left to our own exploring. We knew their was a pool so we found our way to a locked gate . We had to walk across the grass to get into the pool . It was a strange and not so welcoming set up to gain access to the pool. We stayed for a bit but then found their to be NO towels. Finding ourselves a bit frustrated we decided to go back to our room to regroup and decide how we would spend the rest of the day. On our way back to the room, we mentioned to the front desk that the pool had no towels . She didn't apologize and say "let me go grab you some " - she just said ok . No offer of any resolution. We sat at the bar and enjoyed happy hour . This was the only highlighted part of our evening. It was decent. Since their was only 1 bartender working at the time he was very busy but he did try to make it a pleasant experience for us . I do appreciate when people go out of their way even when it's really busy. Thanks to Chris for making our stay start to improve at that point. We began to inquire about wedding facilities so one of our servers( who happened to be very sweet) later in the night asked a manager to come speak to us . However , he just handed her a business card to give us . Said it wasn't his department: That is SO unprofessional. He didn't have the decency to just come tell us that himself. If he's a manager, all he needed to do was come over and say hi- thank you for your inquiry... please email this person and they will answer any questions you may have . Again, a poor reflection of leadership here at Rinault and their lack of care for their customers was definitely clearly indicated as no priority. Check out was 10 am. We woke up and couldn't wait to get home. We checked out at 8 am. When we checked out the front desk asked us nothing of our stay. It was abrupt and cold. Unfortunately, I do not recommend this venue . We went across the at

This place has really bad reviews and I'm not sure why. We went on a Sunday around 2 and it wasn't crowded at all. They were having an event that night and the set up looking great. Overall this a beautiful place. The food was good and the drinks were 7/10.

it pains me to leave less than 5 esp after last yrs breakfast with santa was so perfect - this year was way less than. when we pulled up to the resort, we saw a few signs directing us away from the winery and towards the hotel instead for the breakfast with santa - weary, we headed that way. we go inside and it's general slight mass chaos, the early AM brunch group was leaving with some trying to snap pics with santa still, i get it. when we finally try and get seated for our 11:30am time slot, we go down the hallway where the banquet rooms are, where to the left i see the buffet, and beyond that a nicely decorated banquet room with nice christmas music playing, then they turn us to the right - where it's a partitioned banquet room, a quarter of the size, dead silent away from the entire activity. at first i was like you have to be kidding - nope, that was it. the overflow room i guess. i asked for music to make it less awkward as us along with all the other tables of families felt the need to whisper to converse and Brian did his best getting a speaker going with music and apologized. food was good, drinks helped the situation. santa was amazing, they use the same santa so it'll be nice to have the pictures yr after yr with the same santa - if only it was at the same beautiful corridor as the winery, like last year. that was kind of the entire point - the winery had a christmas tree room you could see about 30 differently decorated trees, santa in another room on a pedestal with really cool scenery behind him with a ton of different santa portraits (pic enclosed from last yr VS. this yr) & it was in the champagne ballroom which fit all the families - who equivocally spent the same price to be there. instead this yr, i spent as much as all the families to the left, but was instead placed in this sort of back closet space away from everything. the tickets did not say anything about it being at the hotel, i checked so i am disappointed with the entire outcome. santa did mention it depends if they have a wedding booked where the actually brunch with santa will be, understood - but ultimately unfair for us. will i return? probably, but now i know which questions to ask upon booking. i beg of you, Renault, please put this event back in the Champagne Room for the season to keep the tradition, appeal & price point well worth it.

Beautiful banquets here and a fun indoor bar with live music! But the food really let me down. I'm sure the kitchen is a max house here. They had a wedding, a private dinner, and the people at the bar to serve. I attended a private dinner. Our food was sub par. The sides were cold and the steak was under seasoned. It came with risotto that was undercooked. I've made risotto a bunch of times but never for more than 6 people so I can under stand how this would happen but I would have rather just had a good mashed potato. I would definitely come back for apps and drinks but the banquet food is really lacking.

This is a review only on the wine and beer garden. The service was absentee, but when she was actually at the table, she was sweet. We were a table of six and ordered a bunch of appetizers. Took forever to come out, and when they did, they were colder than room temperature. Meaning they were made in a timely manner, and no one thought to bring them to a table. Should have sent them back had a waitress come to the table more than every 20 minutes. Wine wine flights were nice. The grounds were nice. But I wouldn't go back.

Excellent Fire Pit experience! The Winery has an awesome scenery and really nice layout. I think the best views are at night during the Vinter Wonderland exhibit. There is plenty of outdoor space and room to move around. There is a very pretty water fountain. The food was great and our server was really patient and professional. We will definitely be returning

Service was excellent. Beautifully landscaped and great for photos. Food was ok. Nice wines, a really fun day overall.

The food is very disappointing. I'd recommend this place for entertainment and drinks, but with the price of food here and the poor quality, eat elsewhere. Our nachos had stale chips and the cheese was cold. Our burgers were frozen paddies. The atmosphere and entertainment is always on point though so it is a great day/night out. I will say that seating options/what you need reservations/where is free seating is so confusing that half of the staff is provides conflicting information. Make reservations... the open seating is hard to come by in a good location, or your off sitting somewhere odd. Be aware they tax like crazy here. 6.625% alcohol tax and there is an additional 3.5% charge on all checks (food, drinks, gift shop, winter village shops etc.) that they call the "Covid recovery charge". While I understand businesses struggled/are struggling due to the pandemic -- this really adds up when you spend time here. It is pricey to begin with -- $7 cupcakes, $17 dollar burgers, $10 drinks, $30 candles, $20 ornaments and to be taxed additionally is annoying. You certainly feel nickel and dimed at Renault. We stayed over night and we will never stay in the hotel again. We were up the entire night because the air conditioning system was directly next to our room and was SOOOOO LOUD. We also arranged ice skating at the hotel desk and then we had to pay more at the ice skating shack out of no where.... I want to like this place so bad because it is BEAUTIFUL... but yikes. Their logistics and operations really need to be worked out.

While staying in Atlantic City, we made a 1/2 hour excursion out to Renault Winery's Vintner Wonderland. It is a Christmas themed outdoor festival. My advice- go for the scenery and even the wine, but don't stay for lunch or dinner. The service is unreasonably slow and the food is not worth the wait or high cost. The server was nice enough, but she blew us off for a large party. She never apologized or tried to do anything to alleviate the delays. Also, they don't really have gluten free or allergy friendly options.

Lots of stuff going on. Full bar inside a huge bar area with some tables and couches. Outside seatings for a few hundred. Wine tasting and beer tastings also available. Only place in US that serves blueberry champagne. And it was delicious but pricey. Tried 3 reds by the glass and was not impressed. Beautiful decor inside and out. Avoid the food. Steak sandwich was terrific. See pictures

I was at renault winery two weekends ago and had an amazing time! We were sat in the dining room with a waitress named jules. She was absolutely amazing and attentive and so sweet and bubbly. She made sure our food came out quick and we had everything we needed. We will be coming back and asking for her again!

Bar staffed were rude and disrespectful. Venue itself was beautiful, food was cold and staff looked to grab your plate while you were still eating

Renault started doing outdoor dining at the Champagne Patio Garden. My family and I (7) went there for Saturday Brunch on Aug 29, 2020. They have tables set up on the lawn area outside the newly renovated buildings. (I haven't been there in quite some time). View of the vineyards were spectacular. There was also a live band playing music, which was very nice and relaxing. We ordered drinks.. Margarita Pitcher...was excellent Red Sangria.. so-so (Hint) add a splash of the Margarita to it...much better. Now I was very impressed with the food. (Light Fare Foods) Chicken Tenders were very crunchy and good. Thai Chili sauce on the side. (The adults starting stealing them) Asian Pulled Pork Tacos. Delicious !!! Spinach and Artichoke dip with bruschetta chips. Very nice taste. Meatball Sub.. Meatballs were soft and had a good flavor. Vegetable Spring rolls with Thai Chili sauce were awesome. Short Rib Flat Bread.... Was out of this world!!! Bavarian Pretzel... what can you say.. it speaks for itself. American Burger was good... nice size too. Really nice place. Hopefully they continue doing it next year. Will definitely be back if they do.

Wife and I had the chance to play 9 holes today , stopped in the pro shop , Phil was awesome got us on ( due to cancellation). Bag drop crew was extremely helpful ( Sticks is awesome). Played a quick 9 holes course was in great shape greens rolling true . We went for a few drinks and snacks, inside ( bar is amazing,)I will say Pete the bartender was even better. Made drinks to perfection, true gentleman!! Will definitely be back ‍

hmmm.....what do you review here? The wine? The food? The grounds? I'll give a quick score for each, from my very limited trip, but the 3 stars is the average of the lot. 4-5 stars: The grounds were really nice. You can tell that weddings here are a big money maker. There were nice open areas that were very picturesque for weddings and bridal showers and the like. The indoor bar area was super spacious and well appointed. Also, they had a live band that was rocking for the most part. They had one singer that was intolerably extra, but the rest of the band was on it. The golf course looked really nice as well, and I would love to play a round and review that in the near future. 3 stars: The wine was decent. They were offering free samples as we walked up, and everything tasted good. I got another glass with my "food," and it was fine as well. (I understood the plastic cup for the sample, but a plastic cup, for a glass of wine with a meal, at a WINERY, feels extremely tacky to me. I read that they do it because of Covid, but I'm not sure if that's a good enough reason. Doesn't glass wear get washed in extremely hot water?) 1 star: The food was.....yeah, bad. Take a look at my picture to see what a $15 margherita pizza looks like. It was a piece of dough, with like 4 tomatoes, and literally the ESSENCE of basil. Is basil going for saffron prices or something? Why was there so little basil on my margherita pizza?! The only damn ingredients ARE cheese, tomatoes and BASIL. Just a complete whiff on that pizza. The misses got a meatball sub that looked and tasted like something you could get at wawa for half the price, and THAT had more basil on it than my pizza. She also got some unseasoned chips on the side. The food was pretty sad, and especially for the price. If that was a $5 flatbread, I would've eaten it and shut up, but these weren't happy hour prices. I don't see a reason I would eat at this place again, even if I were to find myself back here. Also, the service was very terse. First, we stood and waited at the hostess stand for a good 5 minutes before a SERVER came after to help us (not the hostess). Then, they tried to seat us at a table with no umbrella, directly in the blazing sun. When we asked for a different table, they tried to seat us at a "table" that was literally a wine barrel with an umbrella. How do you eat on that?! Why is that a seating option? MAYBE if all you're doing is drinking wine, it would be ok, but there was barely room to sit your plastic cup of wine down. Eating at the barrel would be impossible. THEN when we did get a normal table, our server came up with a distinct, "what do you want" vibe; no hi, no name, just "what do you want to drink?" The misses asked for a water, seeing as how it was 85 degrees out, and the servers reaction was as close to an eye roll as she could get without getting checked. After seeing the reaction, The Misses even said, "oh.....I guess water isn't a good choice?" The interaction had a very, "you're at a winery, get wine dummy" feel to it. I was about as blown away with the service as I was with the food. To sum it up, if you want to take some pictures, play a round of golf, or sip some wine while listening to a live band, you might enjoy the day. But for gods sake, eat before you come here.

We were there for a wedding and it was very confusing. There were more than 1 wedding happening, and also the winery was open to the public at the same time. So basically, the place was packed and we had no idea where to go, and no staff around to direct us or answer questions. Suggestions: 1. Put out signs that say "wedding parking here" 2. Use signage that say "Ken and Barbie's wedding this way" 3. Hang an awning for outdoor weddings. 4. If you're not going to put up an awning and force the guests to sit in full sun, at least set it up the chairs in the direction where the guests are not staring into the sun in order to witness the marriage. 5. Maybe set out water for the guests who are waiting around in the blazing hot sun. 6. For the cocktail hour the food was in a long thin room that only allowed one-way traffic, and therefore, 150 people had to wait in line for food. Dessert was served with the same awful setup. Because of these things I would not recommend that you have your wedding here. On the plus side: 1. The room where the party was held is beautiful. (However, if you have a DJ, make sure that your DJ is skilled enough to work with the difficult acoustics.) 2. The waitstaff is exceptional. Very friendly, very helpful, very skilled at their job. 3. The food is good. Fish not overcooked, meat consistently medium rare. 4. The attached outdoor deck is perfect for cooling down from dancing or taking a break from the loud music or just enjoying the evening.

We came here for my sister's wedding. When we drove up the hotel looks really nice but the back of the buildings to winery kind of looks out of place. It's kind of strange to have your view from the hotel to be these kind of eye sore walls directly across the street. Once in the hotel it is beautiful. But then you soon realize there is no cell phone reception. I'm all for going off the grid once in a while, but not a wedding where I need to call or text people. So be prepared to use wifi calling. The check in time for our hotel room was not until 4pm. This wouldn't have been an issue but as a member of the bridal party if was very inconvenient. The hotel room was ok. I don't think it was worth the price we paid for it. I've stayed at nicer hotels for the same price but much more quality. Additionally I know I paid for a king bed and that is not the bed I got upon arrival. The actual venue area behind the walls of the winery was beautiful and the food was great. Overall it was a good experience but I think for the prices paid the hotel needs some work in a few different ways.

Came to Renault for dinner for the first time the other night and will def be back! The setting is lovely, live music incredible, and the food really excellent -- the menu may look a bit basic but everything was the best version of itself possible (incredibly juicy honey sriracha wings; non greasy fish and chips that may be the best we've had in a long time). The wines were good but the beer flight is oddly even better! A real find in the area.

Beautiful grounds! Hotel and restaurant are severely lacking in communication. We had a room & dinner package and both hotel & restaurant staff were confused about what the package included and how to even put in the food order at the restaurant. This made the entire dining experience awkward & frustrating. The "chef selected " item was chicken piccata which was rubbery & excessively salty. I suspect we were given the same entree as the 2 weddings going on at the time. The restaurant manager was nice and did his best to rectify some of the issues we had. Every question I had for the front desk staff was met with "I don't know or I'm not sure." Morning coffee in the lobby didn't have any milk. Front desk just said, oh there's no more powdered creamer? Then said they don't put out milk because it'll go bad. Ever heard of ice? Our room with balcony was very large, comfortable and clean. If I returned I would not get a specific dining package where the "chef" selected the item.

I first visited Renault Winery in December 2018, they were in the process of being sold so they were not producing wine at time but we were able to get a detailed tour and got to sample some of the wines they had in stock. I was really fascinated by the history behind this winery which started in France and it was really cool seeing these historic buildings and grounds. Their is a hotel that's affiliated with the winery right across the street but since production was halted things were kinda on slower side. There's also a golf course but obviously you won't be playing in December lol. Update: October 2019, Renault Winery is under new ownership and the buildings and grounds are under major construction. They are currently doing tastings in a special room in hotel across the street and you need reservations! It seems like you can still use grounds for special occasions like a wedding etc. I can't wait to visit them again when all the renovations are done because I feel like it will be amazing. I was told you can view their website to get updates and see what it will look like when its complete so stay tuned!

Beautiful establishment. Attended my nieces wedding here in August. Returned in September for a relaxing weekend with our friends for some golf, dinner and drinks. Great atmosphere, beautiful views of the vineyard. Beautiful chateau accommodations. Would highly recommend!

Sorry what a disappointing meal and experience. We had a 6:30 reservation, upon arrival the hostesses were so overwhelmed and made us wait for 20 mins even though there was a table open. Finally I spoke to a manager and he found us a table. Unfortunately the menu they gave us was not the same as what was on their website. I was hoping for some healthy items (they had salmon on the website menu but not on the menu at the restaurant) but to no avail as most items were fried and over salted. We ordered two drinks and it took 20 minutes to arrive. When the waitress went to check on it, she found out the bartender didn't make them because they didn't have alcohol and wanted her to get them. She apologized. Food wise: We ordered two main entrees, a goat cheese flatbread appetizer (which was fine) and a third veggie entree because the lamb chop (which were tasty but a bit salty) entree had "fried" leeks and potatoes which I don't eat. Of course it arrived with potatoes, fortunately no leeks. Because I wanted some non-fried vegetables I ordered the veggie panini entree without the bread and cheese but it arrived with cheese. The young busboy/runner realized it was wrong and brought me a new one 20 minutes later. The nice young waitress realized that was not right either and said what can I bring you, fortunately they had fresh spinach which was fine another 20 minutes later. The waitress didn't charge us for the veggie panini which was nice of her. Overall, the wait staff tried their best but the bar staff dropped the ball and most of the food was over salted (the short ribs with waffle fries were inedible). The overall ambiance is loud. It's basically a big beer/wine garden atmosphere with bad food and a staff who are trying but not succeeding. We will not go back.

Service was slow. I ordered the burger which they say their know for their burger and I thought it salty! Over it was an ok experience. We went on a rainy day so that didn't help the experience.

I have to admit the renovations of this place are gorgeous and love the new outdoor vintner wonderland-- that being said it's outrageous to have someone spend $125 to rent a fire pit and the waitress shows up maybe every 20 mins or longer to get drinks or food-- they are really lacking help or just don't care -- we would visit again but get food and drink from the truck and do the ice skating with the kiddos but would never pay that price for the lack of service we received

Attended a wedding for a friends son, wonderful place, great views, but the service was even better! We had a server named Alyssa, and she went above and beyond! Very attentive, and we were never without! I would go back simply for the service!
