Agri-Tourism Adventures in Cape May County
From the fields and vineyards to the docks and gardens, Cape May County connects food, farming, and the coastal landscape.
Cape May County’s beauty runs far beyond the beach. Here, farms, markets, vineyards, breweries, distilleries, and gardens thrive alongside bustling fishing docks and barrier-island towns. Generations of local farmers and makers work the same sandy soil and coastal waters that have long sustained this region — creating authentic “taste-of-place” experiences for visitors year-round.
Agri-tourism brings you closer to what’s grown, raised, and caught here. Pick fresh blueberries and peaches, sip wine among the vines, sample craft beer, or enjoy oysters harvested from the Delaware Bay. Summer farmers markets and green spaces keep the county vibrant, while farm-to-table restaurants and beverage trails celebrate Cape May County’s land-and-sea bounty.
