West Cape May, in Cape May County, is a small borough at the southern tip of New Jersey, adjacent to Cape May city and near Cape May Point. The borough sits within one of New Jersey’s more established winery and vineyard corridors: Cape May County hosts a concentration of winery tasting rooms that draw visitors making touring circuits through the peninsula, and West Cape May’s position at the tip places it at the center of that geography.

The Cape May Peninsula wine region is among the oldest established wine-producing areas in New Jersey, and the area also supports a small number of craft distillery operations alongside the winery concentration. Visitors to the Cape May area, whether staying in Cape May city or coming down for day trips from Ocean City and the northern Shore communities, often include winery visits as part of their itinerary. West Cape May is a short walk or drive from the Victorian resort character of Cape May city, making it easy to combine tasting room visits with the broader Cape May tourism experience throughout the spring-through-fall season.
