Cape May Fall Rental at the Longfellow House & Wine Tasting!

At The Longfellow House in Cape May, we're seeing a lot of special Fall events...here's one we're sure you won't want to miss

The Cape May Fall Weekend Special Event Wine Festival

Consider that more than 200 years ago, London's Royal Society of the Arts recognized two New Jersey vintners for their success in producing the first bottles of quality wine derived from colonial agriculture!

Today, New Jersey's wineries continue the tradition of producing high quality wines. New Jersey's more than 30 wineries offer more than just acclaimed wines, they offer a total wine experience. Many of these wineries will be part of the 1st Annual Cape May Wine Festival.

The particulars:
When: Saturday and Sunday, October 11 & 12: 12noon to 5pm
Where: Cape May-Lewes Ferry Terminal, Rte 9 South, Lower Township, NJ, overlooking the Cape May Canal and Delaware Bay

Cape May Fall Activities: Longfellow House Fun

Like Sculley and Moulder of the X-Files are always saying" I want to believe..."

This fall, for a distinctly different tour of Cape May...one that will 'haunt you for the rest of your life,' you might want to consider taking The Original Haunted Cape May Tour."

Tours meet on the board walk across from the Macomber hotel on the corner of Howard St and Beach Drive.

Tickets can be purchased Boo tique under the hotel.

Warning - all haunted tours are taken at your own risk (don't forget twear sensible walking shoes and give yourself about 2 hours for the tour).

Visit the The Cape May Zoo during your Fall Weekend Vacation!

Cape May Fall Weekend Family outings at the Longfellow Guest House don’t have to be expensive, if...

Your kids caught to much sun at the beach...

Someone you love very dearly went crazy with the children’s college fund trying to win that overstuffed bear playing ski-ball at arcade...

The attendants at the miniature golf course are mumbling something about "another parent who is about to go postal"...

THEN it's definitely time for a ‘family safari’ at the Cape May County Park Zoo!

Did we forget to mention that Admission’s free (so you can start replenishing junior’s college fund)?

Cha-ching...Warren Buffet move over!

When Steve Irwin was interviewed about what he liked best about the place he stated..."Crikkey! There’s plenty of shade and above ground walking deck-paths that gives you a birdseye view of the wild-life!"

There's ample play space for the kids, friendly staff and even a snack bar all of which makes this family zoo a popular place for both the old and the young!

Located on route 9, its less then 2 miles north of Cape May Court House. The Zoo’s open 7 days a week (10 a.m. - 4:45 p.m. phone number is 609-465-5271)

And like we said earlier, admission is free!

Longfellow House Fall Weekend Rental- Sunset Ceremony!

Looking towards another spectacular Cape May Point sunset. Click thumbnail to see bigger image. For more Longfellow Guest House family fun during the Fall weekend evenings - you and your kids should consider biking to Cape May Point to catch the Sunset Ceremony!

Most times, there's a sing-along recording of Kate Smith singing "God Bless America!"

And every once in a while, a veteran's ashes are slipped into the ocean by relatives accompanied by a military fly-over.

If you're really lucky, the Coast Guard Training and Support Center, along the southern border of the Cape May Canal, has its Sunset Parade - you could end up seeing new recruits doing snappy military drills to commemorate their graduation!
