The sandy soils and ocean breezes provide the perfect conditions for great grape growing. Vineyard guests taste our diverse collection of wines at the extra-long mahogany bar and meander through the vines with bottles of wine and picnic baskets. Tastings are educational and enjoyable.

I just love this place. I came here a couple of years back for a wine tasting and took the winery tour. Turned out the owner was my tour guide and he taught me a lot about the wine making process. I've been on a lot of tours, but his was more about the vines themselves and I found it... More

We visited Hawk Haven last week. We've been to three of Cape May's wineries. This one is neither my favorite nor my least favorite. The nice thing is that if you do the wine tasting, it's only $5 to taste all of their wines (10). I thought that was a great idea. It's always so hard to pick the ones... More

Tasted 10 wines and enjoyed a fair amount of conversation. Met the owner and his dog (maggie). Great stop and brought some wine back to DE with us.

I have to first admit that I am not a wine person. I am a beer person so I can't speak for the taste of the wine. However I can speak for the hospitality and the "warmness" of the staff. I went with a friend. She tasted and I just watched and felt very at home. After we sampled we... More

My wife and I purchased a living social deal which included two tastings at the winery. The decor is great and it has a Napa feel. The wines were great if you are into the more traditional wines.

We first tried all the wines they had to offer and then ordered a glass to enjoy. The wines were DELICIOUS! But, the service was just OK. We saw other people with cheese, but the hostess never even mentioned this as a possibility. Further, she was not very welcoming with information about the wine. I do not know if I... More

I'm very sorry to hear of your negative experience. It is so important to us that our guests have an enjoyable time at our winery and we love spending time chatting and sharing as much information as we can about our wines and vineyard. Sometimes it gets busy and we are unfortunately unable to spend as much time with each... More

Hawk Haven was beautiful inside and the tasting was great. Brian who led our tasting was extremely informative and nice. We bought 6 bottle of wine after our tasting. I will definitely be going back with my fiance's family this summer.
