Visiting Egg Harbor Township
In 1614, a Dutch explorer gave Egg Harbor Township its name after a cruise up the river led to meadows completely laden with shorebird and waterfowl eggs. A haven from the flashier hotels in Atlantic City, many Egg Harbor Township hotels offer you a more sedate and relaxing Garden State experience. Rent a car in Egg Harbor Township and drive to pick up a bottle of Renault Vineyard’s famous blueberry champagne. Allow yourself just a few sips, then take a tour of the 150-year-old winery and taste some of its more classic vintages. Or you can indulge in a little adult playtime with a gourmet meal at one of the vineyard’s excellent restaurants and relax in the sun on the porch of its Tuscany-inspired chalet with a fine burgundy.
Whether you wish to placate your childlike sense of wonder or your more adult sensibilities, Egg Harbor Township is the perfect home away from home.
