Willow Creek Winery & Farm

Great food and good wine. Amazing scenery, and superbly pleasant staff. Had Dylan as our waiter and he was knowledgeable and courteous. The buffalo chicken dip is great, the willow whip is really fun and tasty. The best part was probably the setting; indoors and out the place is beautiful. The reds are nice, but a nice icy drink like the willow whip or sangria will be great with outdoor seating.

Willow Creek will now forever hold a special place in my heart. My now fiancé took me here the day we got engaged. We did a tour and tasting and had the most amazing experience. Before our tour we were able to get a couple glasses of house made white and red sangria. They were both so delicious and I regret not getting a bottle of each. We had a tour with John and he was so lovely! He was friendly, knowledgeable, and funny. The property is gorgeous – from the vines, all the beautiful flowers, the cute cottages, the little ponds with critters, and the Alice in Wonderland area. John even stopped to take some photos of us. After the tour we had a tasting with Oak and we loved him. He picked wines that perfectly matched our palette, shared stories and taught us about the wines, and then served us the most delicious dole whip dessert. I could not stop talking about it afterwards. After our time at Willow Creek, we went to dinner down the street and then to the beach during sunset where he proposed to me. 🧡 Overall, we absolutely love Willow Creek and will definitely be back! Thank you so much!

A lovely winery!! Tons of seating both indoor and outdoor so you don’t need to worry about having a reservation. They also have a fun Alice in wonderland theme going on. Perfect scenery and location, especially being so close to beach plum farm. The food was really good- one of the best pulled pork sandwiches I’ve had! Only complaint is completely my opinion and I’m probably being picky but the prosecco was SO sweet (too sweet for a prosecco) and a bit hard to put down. The drink prices in general are steep for what you get, the wine is decent, but not amazing (I also tried the white wine my husband ordered). I would still definitely go back since it’s a beautiful property, staff were pleasant and attentive and the food was delish. 5 stars all around because I didn’t try enough of their wine selection to have a reasonable opinion.

Just had lunch and enjoyed the food, drinks, setting, and atmosphere. Our server Tom was knowledgeable and explained the menu and specials well. We had the deviled eggs and bruschetta to start, and both were very tasty. Followed with a peach salad (raspberry vinaigrette was amazing) and the special salmon cakes. Delicious. Rather full so ordered a mix vanilla and cherry Willow whip with a blend of the red and white sangrias to share. Perfect end to a great meal.

This was our first time visiting and Julia was the best! Everything from the view, the landscaping, food, wine and the friendly service made this experience memorable. We cannot wait to come back and try something new! We will definitely recommend Willow Creek to our friends and I posted some lovely pictures from our experience on Facebook thank you Julia!

Season was a great host and made our time at the winery an experience to remember! We started out our day at Willow Creek Winery by experiencing a tour of the winery and learning the history of the property. Then we had a fabulous lunch where Season provided us a great experience and memory of the season! Can’t wait to return next year for our annual visit!

We had the best time at Willow Creek Winery for my sister’s bachelorette weekend! We did the educational wine tasting and had lunch after. The food and wine were all incredibly delicious! And huge shoutout to our waiter Ryley who was the absolute best! Explained all about the wines and different ways to try them to create a wonderful and memorable experience!

If you want a gorgeous space to enjoy wine and delicious food, please consider Willow Creek! We had wine flights and appetizers. All of the food was so fresh. Katia provided amazing service! She was thoughtful, kind, and proactive about taking care of us. The whip floats are to die for!! Would definitely recommend for a girls trip, date night, or bachelorette.

This winery is beautiful. I stopped in very quickly to pick up some wine and of course had to try the pineapple-pomegranate whip. Wayde was so very helpful and friendly. He helped me pick out some wine and off I went. So disappointed that I didn't get to sit and enjoy more wine and the beautiful views! I will definitely be back!!! So if you are in the area this place is a must. And find Wayde! He was great!!

This was a highlight of my time in Cape May spending a weekend with my daughter! Tom our server was simply the best . He was delightfully informative and attentive. Ask for him if you come to the winery. We had a sangria flight and the Wilde Cock flight with the bubbly, blackberry merlot and the blush. We opted for the Manchego cheese board , French baguette and the loaded fries. We bought a jug of the white sangria and the bubbly. They also sell their eggs from the many chickens they have on the farm and we bought a dozen each. Loved the food, the wine and sitting on the patio! You must experience this if you are in the area!!

After spending the day at the zoo with my kids, it was time for the parents to have a well-earned treat and Willow Creek was the perfect spot. To my surprise this is actually a place I enjoyed with kids! They had a kids' menu, gorgeous vineyard views, and live music that had me singing along without even thinking about it. My husband and I each ordered the deviled crab cake sandwich, and it was delicious meaty, full of flavor! We also got two sangria whips one guava pear and the other blueberry pomegranate. Both things I was very excited to order and it did not disappoint! We ended with a sweet wine flight that was smooth and easy to enjoy. I'd definitely love to come back here soon it was a great spot to unwind and still feel comfortable with kids around. P.S. The names of the bathrooms had me cracking up.

Such a fun time here celebrating my sister's bachelorette party! Our waitress was truly incredible, so nice and attentive. She even helped maneuver another umbrella for us when it started to rain. I've been here a few times and the food never disappoints and they have multiple different wine flights to choose from. A great spot to celebrate a bachelorette or just do a girls day!

This place was beautiful with sangria and wine flights. Loved the willow whips, food was great too. They had live music that was also great.

We opted to sit outside as it was a beautiful day, so I can't really speak to the interior. But there are quite a few tables outside directly next to the vineyard which created a great vibe. Katia's service was excellent, despite a customer service snafu with management. The food and wine offerings were good, but not great. NJ wines tend to lean very sweet, and this place was no exception. However, we did seek this place out because of their frozen sangria, but it just wasn't what we expected. We thought it would be like a frose, or frozen marg, but it was creamy like an ice cream float. Regardless, a good time was had by all, and again the excellent service really made up for what this place lacked.

Definitely recommend making a reservation because that has a lot of large groups and parties going on the weekends. The mango and pomegranate twist sorbet was really good. We got it with white wine. Also got some food which was good. The hummus was the best hummus I've ever had. They had a cute little market outside.

My girlfriend and I had a wonderful first experience at the winery. We (obviously) made the trip for the amazing looking whips we saw all of last summer on their social media. They did not disappoint! We had the mango whip with white sangria and the pomegranate whip with red sangria. They are about $17 each but well worth it on a warm sunny afternoon! We also got a wine flight. The wines were very easy to drink and definitely sweet but they note that in the description. The bubbly rose was very refreshing. Our server was pleasant and the ambiance is very cute and cozy. We can't wait to come back!

Lots and lots of food all was very good, cute set up, servers very nice, atmosphere very nice! It's kind of a rustic barn. love spending time with my daughter !! Priceless ! Thank you Katie for the memorable Mother's Day. love you, great being with my bff Deb and her daughter Kelly also.

Cute little vineyard with lots of dog-friendly outdoor seating. Since we visited in April, there weren't any actual grapes growing yet, but I'm sure the view overlooking the vines would be beautiful during the summer. Service was quick and friendly and both food and wine very good.

Love Willow Creek! The grounds are gorgeous, the wine is good and you really can't go wrong. My last visit was 10 years ago, so things have definitely changed. And by things I mean prices. A wine flight will run you $30 and a wine bottle is a minimum of $30, with most closer to $40-$50. Cheese plates are also around $30. It's an expensive day, ya'll! But for that price it's a really gorgeous winery. They have tables that overlook the vineyards, and the vibes are right. It's worth visiting for at least a glass.

My go to vineyard! I love the wines and sangrias! Their grill cheese and tomato soup is phenomenal. This year did a tour and was well worth it. Joe is very knowledgeable about wine and got to learn some history of the vineyard. I love sitting outside and enjoying the cool breeze. I do miss the rocking chairs they used to have up front.

Came here with my family on vacation with my 2 and 4 year old. We sat outside and had a great time. The food and drinks were great. I got the slushy sangria drink. It was the mixed flavor slushy with mixed sangria. That was my favorite thing. I got the peach salad with chicken which was great. My daughter enjoyed the kids mozzarella sticks and chicken tenders. Im happy that this place was pretty kid friendly. Lots of parking and it was beautiful scenery being able to sit in the vineyards.

In LOVE with this winery, if I do say so myself ‍. Drinks on drinks: I tried their Willow Whip Float. I paired a vanilla soft serve with one of their red Sangrias and it was delish! Talk about an adult summer dessert! Dining: Outside seating and inside seating are available. This place is MASSIVE, so fear not, there is plenty of space. I was seated inside sample their chicken fingers and Bavarian pretzel. I know what you're thinking, you're a fancy ...Yes. I am. I'm a pretzel connoisseur and their pretzel was great! Perfect amount of salt. Harder on the outside and softer in the middle. Aesthetics: there's so many photo ops here (including a backdrop and props!). Also a beautiful venue if you're looking to be married. As always, I'm excited for you. -A

My bf and I planned a trip to Cape May last year for our anniversary and one of the places on our list to try was Willow Creek Winery. We visited right around sunset which was beautiful! There is indoor and outdoor space so you can kick back, relax and enjoy your wine. There is a gift shop when you first walk in and seating. Outside there was more seating and a live band. Shortly after being seated, we were greeted by our waitress. We started off with a wine flight, a glass of sangria and a glass of their Dole whip sangria float which is seasonal so ask your server for the flavor of the day! At the time of visit, the flavor was passion fruit. The wine flight came out on a tree; I loved the presentation. We also ordered some small bites. For starters, the asiago bruschetta which was okay. The French baguette was extremely hard to bite into but after it sat with all the juices from the tomatoes, olive oil, herbs, etc. it softened up a bit. I thought it was quite tasty. For our entrees we ordered the smash burger and fish sandwich. The fries were crispy, we just didn't like our food which is okay. I think next time we'll just stick to wine and starters. Once we finished up, we browsed the gift shop and headed back to the Airbnb. I will be back next time I visit!

Good variety of wine, all delicious. They have a good selection of food as well. Service was very friendly, quick, thorough. Large indoor and outdoor area for seating. A little more laid back than other vineyards in the area.

The place is beautiful and I could see myself enjoying more than too many glasses of wine here. However, most of the wine is pretty sweet and the food is more than forgettable. Service was ok, just disappointed by the experience as a whole. Lots more to do in cape may than come drink mediocre wine and eat mediocre food at a high price tag.

Our favorite place to sit in the sun, relax, and enjoy some sips of their decadent Estate Cabernet The colossal sized pretzel is fun and delicious. The charcuterie boards are a must. Build your own and get crazy and try different things. End your visit with a refreshing Willow Whip. More of a dessert than a beverage and worth every bit of calories!

WEST CAPE MAY: Willow Creek Winery is a sprawling property with a scenic driveway to the entrance, grand main building, and a beautiful outdoor patio overlooking the vineyard. Leashed and friendly dogs are allowed outside and they are expected to be on their best behavior. This place is popular and will get busy, so as always, know what your dog can handle. In addition to an extensive wine list to be enjoyed by the glass, in a flight, or a bottle for the table, they also have a food menu with appetizers including a huge Bavarian pretzel, meats, cheeses, salads, and sandwiches. The staff is helpful in explaining the wines so you can make the best choice. Check their schedule for live music events.

While visiting the Cape May area, I wanted to have wine and food. I opted to dine in a restaurant, but totally soak in the winery it's outdoor seating on crisp fall day in front of the open fire. This is a beautiful large space with fairly good service. You are a greeted as soon as you arrive however, it takes a minute for them to come to take your order. It wasn't that crowded. I took a leisurely walk through the Vineyard it's a very nice space I would love to have a party here. The only drawback is the wine of the four wines I tasted I only cared for the sangria and I'm not a sweet wine person. Wine and vineyards are my thing I would come for the venue, especially if you're going to be spending days in the Cape May area. But, as for the wine, it's a hard pass!

I am visiting Cape May for the first time, and my friends suggested we go to Willow Creek winery for lunch. It was very nice, we sat outside with a beautiful view. I had the sangria flight and a very nice grilled cheese sandwich with tomato bisque.I would definitely come here again within the area. And if I live down here, I would be here a lot!

While in Cape May we decided to escape to this quaint winery. They have the option of both inside/outside seating, however outside in the sun is best. Had a great view of rows of vines with an array of grapes. We ordered a flight of wines and a charcuterie board. The food was super fresh, crisp grapes and sweet figs. Wine variety was good and adequate quantity for the price at a winery. Service was ok, seemed a bit abrupt , probably because it was a busy afternoon. We walked around, took pics and enjoyed the views. Perfect for a date or just to hang with family. Would return.

Tourist thingy to do sat for a couple of sandwich's , cup of tomato bisque. Good food if expensive. Bought two bottles of Chardonnay for over $75 . I hope the spouse likes them

Stopped to check their wines and loved their "Cock" theme. My husband and I got a kick out of that. Bacon wrapped scallops and fish sandwich. Fish was good but didn't really care for the thick batter. Had some tastings and loved all it. My personal favorite would have to be the Sauvignon Blanc.

A beautiful setting deep in the wilderness of Cape May. The place is huge. Huge enough to be a destination for weddings and other events. Which is great if you are looking for that. However, I'm not so sure how it works if you try to visit while a major event is going on. At least for the time I spent there, the place was quiet. Service was a little slow, but that helped me unwind and sink into the surroundings. I started with what seems to be the social media catcher of the Dole Whipped Sangria. Today's flavor was a choice of black cherry or pineapple. Well, why go for one when you can have both? It is an interesting combination that I would love to hate, but there is something deeply refreshing about it on a warm day in the sun. Now that I have experienced it, I think I can safely go back to being more of a purest in the future. The food menu is pretty extensive. The Bavarian Pretzel - served with sweet bavarian mustard - is actually outstanding. The Jersey Peach - arugula topped with preserved peaches, goat cheese, walnuts, and raspberry vinaigrette - could have been better. Way too many greens without enough dressing. For my taste I would have just cut back on the greens and kept the same amount of dressing. I did sample an off-menu Wilde Cock Blush Table Wine. It seemed to have notes that reminded me of a sherry without being so heavy. Paying the bill I ended up taking three bottles of that home as well since it was rather unique. Speaking of unique, you can take the sangria home in growlers. It has a 5-day shelf life so if you are close enough to be "local" that could be an interesting option.

The vineyard was beautiful and the flower were so pretty and blooming beautifully. I highly recommend this winery! As a new resident to the cape May area, I have been waiting all winter long to try the wineries this summer. Willow Creek did not disappoint. I went on a Friday afternoon to enjoy their full dining menu. I ordered the fish sandwich which was delicious and crispy and paired well with the brioche bun. For an appetizer , I recommend the deviled eggs. They had a spicy bacon jam that had I loved so much I had to order deviled eggs to go and add extra spicy bacon jam. I enjoyed both the white and red sangria sole whips. The dole whip sangrias were the highlight of my night at the winery. They were delicious and I loved how it melted into the wine and made it taste so refreshing! The sangria wine flight was good and well worth it. I can't recall the flavors of the sangrias. My favorite sangria was the white one! Lastly, the customer service was great. My waiter was on point and she shared with me her favorites and recommendations which I truly appreciated!

I love love loved the vibe, food and drinks at this winery! My mom found this winery when another winery of the area was full. Willow Creek has tons of seating and accepts reservations. We were seated right away and the service was very quick. I had the dry red flight, which comes with three 3 oz pours of 3 different reds. They have lots of different flight combinations and you can also build your own. I loved all 3 wines, which doesn't always happen in a flight! I was super impressed with the quality of wine. To eat, we shared the cheese board and pretzel. The cheese board was some of the best cheese I have had in the US... so delish! You can pick 3 meats or cheeses with the option to add additional ones for $6 extra. We went with the truffle goat cheese (my fav!), brie, cheddar, and manchego. The board comes with a baguette, grapes, dates, nuts, olive oil, and olives. I would get this every time! The pretzel was also amazing. It is HUGE and definitely big enough to share. It is served warm, and comes with mustard. I liked topping it with the cheddar from the cheese board. This is definitely my new go-to winery down the shore! I can't wait to come back again and again!

We found d this winery from a sign on the highway. We needed lunch, and dining at a winery is the best. We tried the sweet flight and the sangria flight. Loved the wine! We also had done good..which they do not skimp on. I recommend the grilled cheese and tomato bisque. Service was top notch, and the atmosphere was lovely. Lots of seating, inside and out. You are surrounded by the vibes. Looks like they do weddings here, which I can imagine would be amazing!

This was our first time here and we are looking forward to our next visit already! Stopped in during a weekday date as we were wrapping up some shopping to enjoy their dole whip sangria. I had the mango and cherry twist with their white sangria and hubby had the cherry with white sangria. Both were delicious but I think we both agreed that the twist with the white was our favorite. I'd imagine the cherry with red sangria would be great too! While enjoying our drinks we decided to put in an order for a cheese board. Though the cheese and accompaniments were just enough to snack on, and very good, we kinda felt $32 was a bit steep. The vinyards and inside are absolutely beautiful and would make for a great space for a special event. The staff was all very pleasant and service was quick once we were seated. Hoping to venture back with family during our next trip!

Love coming here all year long! If you're around for the holidays, check out some of their seasonal Will whip creations. The gingerbread one with their prestige white wine was amazing!

"Oh my baby moved out and left me behind Seemed like overnight she just up and put me down But it's all right 'cause it's midnight And I got two more bottles of wine" (Emmylou Harris) Thirty of us had a fun mid-Saturday visit to the Willow Creek Winery. The experience began as we drove up their incredibly long driveway, past acres of grape vines and scenery. It really was beautiful. We had our long table set up in the middle of the tasting room, and soon glasses and flights of wine and sangria started filling up the table. Their wine menu is very deep, with Reds, Whites, Roses, Sangrias, Sweets, and Flights for pretty much everything. I went with a Sangria Flight for $20 -pretty big pours of their red, White, and Mixed Sangrias. I have to tell ya, I LOVED all three of them. Some of the best sangrias I've ever had. By the way, I loved the presentation for the flight- sort of a small metal tree with a holder for the wine glass on three "branches" of the tree. Very cool... Our group was scheduled for an early dinner, so most of us went easy for our mid day meal. We went in with another couple for an interstingly named "Wilde Cock Combo Board" - a charcuterie platter with Prosciutto, Chorizo, Soppresseta, Manchegoand cheddar cheeses, walnuts, olives, figs, grapes, and baguettes. It was escellent, and the meats, cheeses and bread were fantastic. Our server did an admirable job taking the orders but seemed to auction off what people wanted because she didn;t really have a system to know what went where or for who ordered what. But we figured it out and everything was delivered to the right station eventually. By the time we left the tasting room was packed including a good sized bachelorette party that kept marching off to the restroom in sixes.

This spot is a gem of a location. Off the beaten path and plenty of whimsy on your way to the winery. We opted to take the 45 minute tour on a gold cart. Joe was very knowledgeable and shared all his knowledge. The grape vines weren't in full bloom but we got the history. You are able to bring wine along on the tour. This was an added bonus. The unique part of this winery is they have a full service rather large restaurant with bothindoor and outdoor seating. We started with a flight of wines to sample and we also had the soft serve with sangria. The wines were OK not our favorite the soft serve with sangria was very tasty and hit the sweet spot. We sat for food the service was extremely slow. The restaurant was empty too. We started out with appetizers ... the large pretzel app which came with dipping sauce. We also ordered the loaded cheese fries. Both apps were basic nothing extra special. The reason for four stars is the slow service but too the price point. The wine is high priced for what it is. I understand it's a resort town but the price point doesn't align with the quality of the wine. 29.00 for a flight of wine is not a deal ... the wine float with soft serve is good but be prepared to shell out 16.75. I can appreciate the prettiness of the property and the need to make changes but those prices are a lot off. We would go back since it's a nice day doing something different but overall expensive.

We visited on a Sunday afternoon in June and loved the outdoor seating area with a beautiful view overlooking the vineyard and grape rows. We tried a few wines; all were good but none were great. Sangria was a nice option as was the Sangria with the dairy swirls in it. Server was friendly but pretty busy but she did her best to keep us happy. Food options were good - the cheese platter was good, the loaded fries were good as well as the smash burger. Weather was amazing. Heard from our server that Saturdays are crazy busy with multiple bachelorette parties and jammed with throngs of people.

This is place was fantastic. We went on a rainy day but in inside can accommodate so many people. We were fortunate enough to get a couch and that was a game changer. The food came out quickly and was actually really good. We got the crab dip, cheese platter, pretzel, salad and pulled pork sandwich. Do not sleep on the dole whip sangria was definitely the best part about this place.

Nice afternoon drinking wine and enjoying the music. The bartenders were super helpful navigating the flights of wine. Good times.

The venue of the wedding reception we attended. We were excited as we have never attended a wedding reception in a vineyard. Unfortunately the weather temperature was cold for that last weekend of April. It did not stop us though in enjoying our stay in the huge vineyard during the cocktail hour. We got beautiful views while enjoying our drinks and food. Open bar both for wines and beer. Live music entertained us the entire stay. Great staff service. Plenty of high tables and lounges are available for the guests. At reception proper, the huge hall fitted us all. I would say we are about 300. A classic winery house. Gorgeous. Airy vibes. There is another open bar inside for everyone's pleasure. Live band is hired. The dessert bar was all set by the entry way when we walked in. On its centerpiece is the wedding cake. Food choices are explicit. Food is good but nothing out of ordinary. Sweets are plentiful. Best part is the wine give aways. Will I try to come back? Yes and would love to experience their wine selections.

Finally made it out for a Friday evening at Willow Creek Winery. They were doing fire pit Friday (even though it was super hot haha) and had a lot of people there for the live music so there was a bit of a line, but they handled everyone quickly. The adult dole whips did not disappoint! The day's flavors were bourbon & cherry so I went with a swirl & it was incredible! Sweet & delicious like a dessert. The "Wilde Cock Silver" white wine was also good. We loved the ambiance, we were outside but there's also a huge indoor room we walked through. This winery is a farm as well and they have a bunch of chickens on site. Definitely worth stopping out at this winery if you're in Cape May, NJ for vacation.

Willow Creek is one of the many vineyards is the Cape May/Wildwood area and it's located on a huge beautiful property. There's 2 seperate bar areas. One in the main building with plenty of seating at the bar, table, or couches. The side barn has a wrap around bar that opens up to the outside giving you the best of both worlds (only open on weekends). Then there's the patio which is where I sat this time around. The wine selection is huge and there are several options for sangria! Willow Creek is also one of the vineyards that has a full food menu! I've been here several times and always enjoy myself. This time I ordered a bottle of Prestige which is a delicious dry white and a caprese salad which was simple but no complaints. I have to say the wine is a bit pricey compared to local vineyards by me but a treat for sure. One thing they mention on the menu but not in person is the 4% additional tax they charge if you pay by card! Beware! Had to knock off a few stars this time around because I barley saw my waitress, my main entree never came, and it took forever to get the check.

My wife and I went to Willow Creek for our first time and there were lots of people which was a great sign. We were directed to go to the bar area since we were not planning to order a full meal. When I went over to order the food and wine, I did not have any issues until I paid. When I paid, the person saw that I did not tip on the card provided (I usually tip the servers when service is rendered). He said, "I see you did not tip. What did I do wrong? I was smiling. You were smiling. I thought I was doing a good job." To this I responded that I usually tipped the servers when the food came out for their service. If he had left it at that, I would have thought it a little awkward that he asked why I did not tip and then I would not have thought anything more of it. Instead, he responded with, "but that doesn't take care of me though". That response really bothered me. I don't feel responsible for "taking care of" someone for taking my order. It really rubbed me the wrong way. We ate our food and drank the wine which were both average and then we left. We don't plan on coming back.

I've been here once or twice before today. It's a beautiful place. They have a large building that you can sit, eat and drink in (they take reservations) and there is a smaller building with a bar in it next door. Today it seemed like they were only serving from the bar but you couldn't sit at the bar. So we got dole whips and sat outside. The rocking chairs are so great to relax in! I got a dole whip with white sangria and my boyfriend got his with red sangria. They were really, really good! So good we went back for more!

A beautiful setting and lovely wines. The food is very good . The Mediterranean Nachos were excellent hot and love the calamata olives on the nachos. Theirwhite sangria is very good. Just there last week again, during the COVID crisis, masks , sanitizers . It was a very busy evening and out of u peel shrimp, no Pino Grigio . The Scallops wrapped in Bacon tasty. The u pick cheese platter with olives and grapes , very refreshing. I chose the white Sangria so fruity , but thick not exceptional. I will return it has a view that makes you think you are in Italy or France at at Country Manor, overlooking the vineyard. Back again, forgot to post first review. Second now, today Aug 3 rd beautiful. Had the Willow salad with chicken. Very tasty and a red pomegranate, blueberry Sangria. I enjoyed the crisp flavor. My friend had crab dip with house nacho chips. She was amazed at how tasty and not filled with lots of mayo. She really enjoyed the crab dip. Will be back .

The beautiful property and restaurant setting get 5 stars. This is a good biking destination in Cape May. We were seated outside with a great view of the vineyards. We had to try the wine of course, so we ordered a red and white. The wine was good, not a WOW but very good. Everyone around use was ordering wine flights and having what appeared to be a great time. For dinner we ordered the smoked brisket sandwich, pulled pork sandwich and a salad. We rated the food as good but nothing out of the ordinary. The service was really slow so getting a refill on the wine took awhile. Overall the place is pricey for the level of service and quality of the food. However, it is a beautiful relaxing setting with good wine. Certainty worth repeat visits. This will be a great place to bring our friends visiting Maryland and cities on the eastern shore of the US.

Saw the Dole whip sangrias on Instagram and was IMMEDIATELY convinced to come give them a try! They were definitely the highlight of the experience -- you can combine the seasonal flavors of Dole Whip with red or white sangria. We tried the pineapple Dole whip with white sangria and cherry with red sangria, and both were really good! A bit on the sweeter side, but a refreshing and indulgent treat on a summer's day. We had a reservation but still had to wait maybe 10 min for the servers to catch up. Servers seemed quite busy but were nice! Good service. Charcuterie board is more on the expensive side with a combo choice of three meats/cheeses being $30+. The crab dip was almost $20 but rather small portion and only okay. I would say go here for the drinks, not the food.

***4 1/2 stars*** This was almost the complete package; the environment was great (especially considering the weather), the food was delicious and the service was top-notch. My crew and I have been to our share of wineries together, and we agreed this was the best we've been to so far. The only problem? The wine wasn't that great, which, given that this is a winery, is a bit of an issue. Willow Creek was the first official stop on our debauchery tour this past Saturday. We went our own way on a lot of places this weekend, but we got at least two recommendations from other people for Willow Creek, and they bore out. The main structure was a giant barn-like building with ample room/seating, with a bar discreetly set up in the back (none of us actually went over there, but I'm assuming it was a wine-only bar; our Uber driver told us there was a "normal" bar in the accompanying building, but if I'm wrong about that, you know whom to blame). We'd responsibly made reservations right when Willow Creek opened, and were led to a few couches in the corner. Love the couches. Every winery should have couches. They filled up quickly, so I'd recommend you do what we did so you can feel like you're at a bougie ski lodge sinking into leather upholstery whilst drinking wine. That is the dream. Our reservation was for 90 minutes; I think we stayed a bit longer and frankly given how the rest of our excursions went, we should have just figured out a discrete way to not move until the winery closed. Our waitress definitely stopped by a bit more toward the end but none of us felt "pushed out" or anything. A huge reason Willow Creek was at the top of our list was because of the food options; sadly, we've found through experience that food is NOT a given at a winery (nor is water beyond a bathroom sink - insanity. How do those places not get shut down by the health department?) so we zeroed in on that menu just as quickly as the wine one. We ordered a few apps and entrees to share, all of which I'd get again with or without wine. My portion of the pulled pork sandwich was scrumptious; perfectly moist and tangy. I also was really into the crab dip (though I was by far the most enthusiastic at the table about that one). I thought it deserved a better dipping implement than tortilla chips; my go to is usually sourdough slices, but that's a classic nitpick on my part. The Wilde Cocke Combo Board was also procured; the star of that for me was the inclusion of olive oil. I think that's the first time I've actually seen it on a charcuterie board, but I am here for it, to the point where I requested extra bread so we could give it a proper sendoff. I don't recall every cheese we selected beyond the drunken goat (which I think we both know I picked for the name and nothing else), but I had no complaints with any of them, nor the meats provided. But this is an instance where I'm probably not sophisticated enough to appreciate the winery - they got me the minute they brought me bread and olive oil. I believe everyone but me got a flight of some kind. Given that we didn't pre-game with a tasting, an argument could be made for or against it, but I figured it wasn't worth close to $30 to experiment with a couple of wines when I know generally speaking what my palate is into. So for $11, I went with a cup of pinot gris to start. It was fine; one of the reasons I tend to like pinot gris (besides the fact that I'm an unapologetic member of Team White) is that it's smoother, and that was the case here. Unfortunately it just didn't have a lot of taste for me, and to be fair, that was true for literally every wine we tried this weekend - I think this is a more general indictment on Cape May's soil than anything specific with Willow Creek. You know what rocked hard though? The Red Sangria. THAT was delicious. Someone got that as part of their flight, and it was warmly received by everyone across the board. I ended up accidentally having two of those after I consumed the mediocre Pinot Gris. If it hadn't had a menu disclaimer (and good on them for having that) indicating it was only good for five days, I would have picked up a few bottles of that. Alas. It has the shelf life of a pile of Thin Mint boxes in my freezer. Similarly, one of our chums did a little research beforehand and wisely ordered the Dole Whip Sangria Float, which was fantastic and universally beloved by our party. We'd all come back in a heartbeat, which is really saying something given the overall tepid response to the actual wine. If I were them, I might remarket myself as a sangria-centric establishment - the soil is the soil, so you might as well emphasize the positive.

We have been here before and loved it but the bartender running the outside bar on Saturday march 1st 2025 (short hair and beard) was a total asshole to me and my friends. He got frustrated with us because we were paying separate for a glass of wine. Sad to say, we will never be coming to this winery again because of that experience. Ive been stressed before but you should never take it out on your customers.

Our experience was great! Tom was a fantastic server and very accommodating. Our food (loaded fries, chicken Caesar salads) came out shockingly fast and were very tasty. Wine flights were good but the cherry and vanilla dole whip over red sangria was amazing! Will definitely come back next time I'm in cape may!

It's been some time since I had been here but felt the need to share the experience. I'll start with saying the venue was beautiful and the vineyard was emasculate. However when I was there I had the Wild Cock Red flight and I couldn't finish one of the wines that I had in my flight at risk of feeling ill. It was a slow afternoon late summer and for two wine flights I waited for nearly 8mins when there were only myself and 1 other party of 2. I do hope things have changed for the better here with their wines and service because the location is truly amazing.

Came here today for one of the activities I was looking most forward to on my weekend trip in cape may - this place did not disappoint one bit! We did the tour of the winery and our guide Joe was amazing! We learned so much about the process that goes into creating their great wine and had fun touring the beautiful property. We tried various red and white wines too and our favorite was their Cabernet. Highly recommend for anyone looking for something fun to do in the area.

The winery was an expierence to have, not only the live music, the scenery, food and wine were great. I can't wait to bring the rest of my family to enjoy the experience, the workers in the outside bar were knowledgeable and helpful, Thanks to frank for being a big help!
