The Wildwoods’ Beverage Tourism Offers A One-of-a-Kind Experience to Sip & Savor Local Flavors

The Wildwoods, NJ – October 3, 2024 With refreshing ocean breezes, the Wildwoods, NJ offer an idyllic backdrop for indulging in a one-of-a-kind seasonal beverage while relishing the freshest catch of the day.

With a diverse range of establishments such as restaurants, eateries, renowned craft breweries, distilleries, and nearby wineries, the Wildwoods provide plenty of options to sip and savor the local beverage tourism scene. These beloved landmarks of the Wildwoods embrace the essence of the local atmosphere, offering distinctive and exclusive creations inspired by the Jersey Shore.

The restaurant renaissance that started years ago in Cape May has spilled over into the Wildwoods, and a growing number of premier restaurants are now located throughout the five-mile island, each of them garnering superb reviews from critics and patrons alike. The Wildwoods’ upscale restaurants offer memorable surroundings, remarkable cuisine, and attentive service for a perfect evening touched with romance, candlelight, and delectable food. Outdoor dining overlooking the ocean, the bay or the inland waterway is another unique way to enjoy dining in the Wildwoods. Amazing food and signature drinks, cool breezes, a phenomenal view, and great live music complete the experience. There’s nothing like it. The backdrop is the evening sunset on the bay while boats slowly glide past the vibrant streaks of color in the evening sky.

Most restaurants throughout the island offer a full selection of cocktails, craft beers, and wines. Wine connoisseurs will find wine lists that reflect a wide selection of vineyards and vintages – including some excellent New Jersey-grown choices from area vineyards. A few restaurants even permit guests to bring their own choice of wines to enjoy with dinner.

The area’s finest wineries are located just minutes from the famous five-mile island. The Wildwoods are in the midst of this ever-burgeoning wine country, and the phenomenon is no coincidence either – the sandy soils along with Southern New Jersey’s unique mild climate make the area surrounding the Wildwoods an ideal environment for grape growing and wine making.

A quick tour of the vineyards surrounding the Wildwoods illustrates that New Jersey lives up to its moniker as, “The Garden State.” New Jersey’s southernmost region is an agricultural hub for wine cultivation. Rich farmland is home to acres of vineyards whose grapes patiently transform into award-winning, hand crafted fine wines. Wines from these local wineries are even served in many of the Wildwoods’ fine restaurants offering a great dining experience.

If cold brews, craft beer and growlers are your thing, then we’ve got a brewery for you. Located in the heart of Wildwood, MudHen Brewing Company, and the Anglesea Aleworks are the ideal locations for vacationers to sip craft artisan brews only found on the five-mile island. If you have a love for the distilling process, or for the products the distilleries produce, then hop over to the Lazy Eye Distillery right on Spicer Avenue in Wildwood. Try a regionally produced vodka, gin, or rum that you won’t find anywhere else other than the Jersey shore.
