Lots of Live Music for Locals’ Summer

Summertime down at the Jersey Shore is amazing, and we have had one for the books this season. Thank you for all who have visited Willow Creek Winery this summer.

Now, since we’re all friends here we are going to let you in on a little secret — September might be the best month in Cape May. Us locals enjoy this month as our “summer” (don’t forget technically summer lasts until September 21), and we are keeping the good vibes good at the winery with live music through the end of the month.

We have a great line-up of performers in September:
Sunday, September 1 from 2 – 6pm with Rob Lipkin
Friday, September 6 from 4 – 8pm Fire Pit Friday and live music with Doug Kelley
Friday, September 13 from 4 – 8pm Fire Pit Friday and live music with David Falcone
Sunday, September 22 from 2 – 6pm with Gordon Vincent
Friday, September 27 from 4 – 8pm Fire Pit Friday and live music with Doug Kelley
Sunday, September 29 from 2 – 6pm with Carbo

Performances are on the Vineyard Bar patio (weather permitting) where seating is first come first serve.

For the month of September we will continue to offer lunch and dinner daily in our Tasting Room to pair with our wines, and our Vineyard Bar will be open from Thursdays – Sundays. Please keep an eye on our socials as it’s also wedding season and we have private events on some weekends that require us to close early (early closures are 4pm, with last seatings at 2:15pm). Make your reservations today.
