Have you heard of Renault Winery Resort & Golf? It wouldn’t be surprising if you said no because it’s such a beautiful and unique getaway destination, steeped in history and scenic splendor, right in our own backyard, that once people discover Renault, they tend to keep it to themselves!

Registered as a New Jersey Historical Site, it was nearly 150 years ago that Louis Renault first put stakes down for a vineyard in the sandy soil of Egg Harbor City nestled in the Pine Barrens of Atlantic County.

A Master Vintner in the Duke of Montebello’s Champagne House in Rheims, France, Renault brought his wealth of knowledge and experience to New Jersey, establishing his own winery that was destined to become one of the oldest continually operating wineries in the nation!

But Louis Renault could never have envisioned the breath-taking Tuscan style resort that now graces the heart of the expansive vineyard that is just moments away from Atlantic City. Today, historic Renault Winery has evolved from one man’s dream to a world class winery and resort that proudly carries on the Renault tradition of growing select grapes on its 1,400 acre vineyard estate; producing over 40,000 cases of fine wines and champagne a year, under the astute direction and boundless creative energy of visionary owner, Joe Milza, a former local newspaper man, and his dedicated family, who took over the winery in the early 1970’s.

During the past 30 years, the Milza family has created a truly unique resort destination set in the lush vineyards of Southern New Jersey that features Vineyard Golf, an exceptionally scenic championship 18 hole golf course, two grand ballrooms, a 50 room resort hotel and two award-winning gourmet restaurants, plus a priceless Antique Wine Glass Museum, guided winery tours daily, and Renault’s Gift Shoppe, the only place where you can purchase Renault’s acclaimed wine and champagne selections.

When you visit Renault, make it a real getaway! Stay overnight at Renault’s Mediterranean Style Inn, The Tuscany House Hotel that exudes warmth and old world charm with its stunning, hand painted wall murals, balconies, and exquisite indoor gardens and fountains.
