we had an amazing experience at renault ! we had to put together a wedding in 4 months and were so lucky to have found renault winery to host our wedding . first off , the venue is fantastic for photos , very picturesque . this is one of the best . . .
the location of the hotel in conjunction with renault winery was fantastic . we always loved going to renault . their wine is always top notch and being so close to atlantic city was nice . we were able to spend the night in ac and make the easy drive back to the hotel .

a winery is attached to this egg harbor city hotel . tuscany house hotel at renault winery features 2 outdoor swimming pools , a golf course , and a seasonal outdoor pool . the hotel offers a restaurant . a bar / lounge is on site where guests can unwind with a drink .
renault claims to be the country ' s longest continuously operating winery , begun in 1864 . winemaking here dates to 1858 , when someone discovered that grapes thrived in atlantic county ' s well - drained sandy soil and temperate climate . the news drew german winemakers and then louis nicholas renault from france . renault left a europe whose vineyards were being ravaged by grape - killing bugs and started fresh in atlantic county , planting european grapes supplemented with north american varieties like catawba , which renault still grows and uses in its wines . many italian family vintners soon followed . the renault family ran the winery until 1919 , when the founder ' s son , felix , with prohibition looming , sold the place .

the vineyard was first planted in 1864 by louis nicolas renault , a french immigrant from mareuil - sur - ay who brought the original vinifera grapes from france . [ 9 ] [ 10 ] renault opened to the public in 1870 , and for many years was the largest producer of champagne in the united states . [ 10 ] [ 11 ] renault survived the prohibition era by obtaining licenses to produce sacramental wine as well as various medicinal wines , including
renault wine tonic
which was sold by pharmacists across the united states . [ 12 ] [ 13 ]
renault winery was founded by louis nicholas renault , a “master vintner” from rheims , france , who came to the united states after phylloxera devastated french vineyards . he first attempted to grow grapes in california , but his vines there succumbed to phylloxera as well . after learning about native american grapes that had a natural resistance to certain diseases and pests , renault moved to new jersey in 1864 , purchased land near egg harbor , and planted native grapes varieties such as ives and catawba . he introduced his new jersey champagne by 1870 , and the winery grew to become the nation’s largest producer of sparkling wine . in the late 19th century , egg harbor was known as “wine city . ”

the winery was ultimately worth more as an existing business than as something the bank could have sold off for pieces , he said .
nearly a century and a half old , renault winery is a recognized new jersey state historical site and one of the oldest continuously operating wineries in the united states . like a fine varietal , the winery has continued to grow , develop and improve with age . the winery’s story begins in europe , with one man and a tiny , sap - eating insect . master vintner louis nicholas renault was a representative of the ancient champagne house of the duke of montebello in rheims , france when europe was hit by the greatest disaster in the history of wine . the accidental introduction of phylloxera , a parasitic aphid , in the mid 1800s nearly destroyed france’s entire wine industry . in 1855 , renault set sail for the new world with hopes of saving his vines and establishing a vineyard free of the insect that had ravished the vines of western europe . renault’s first attempt at an american vineyard took place in california . to his dismay , phylloxera also destroyed the root systems of his californian grapes . it was then that renault learned of a native american grape that grew on the east coast , a grape with a natural resistance to certain pests and disease .
although renault winery is a lovely setting , i walked away disappointed in the wedding we attended and the way it was managed . the outdoor ceremony was very nice . from there we were ushered into a room for cocktail hour . the food was so - so and there . . .

current owner joseph milza , a former newspaper owner and publisher who purchased the winery in 1977 , added substantially to the complex to turn it into a tourism destination .
the winery was owned by a friend of the real nucky during probation , and got a govt permit to keep producing sacramental wines because of nucky ' s connections .

the company ' s biggest secured creditor is oceanfirst bank , of toms river , which holds a $ 7 . 9 million mortgage and had foreclosed on renault , the filing said .
renault is one of about 40 wineries in new jersey , according to the garden state winegrowers association . more than a dozen are located in atlantic , cape may and cumberland counties .
when john d ' agostino died in 1948 , his sister maria assumed responsibility for renault . having a talent for design , she made a showplace of the old winery by building the current chateau style hospitality house . in 1966 she added the wineglass museum to display her impressive collection of wineglass art , which dated back as far as the thirteenth century . in 1968 universal foods , a worldwide food distributor , acquired the winery and operated the facility until 1974 when mcc presidential , a new jersey based investment group , assumed ownership .
just prior to the start of prohibition in 1919 , john d’agostino purchased the winery . renault continued to operate under d’agnostino during prohibition , when all other wineries in new jersey were closed , by selling three flavors of “renault tonic” in drugstores : port , tokay and sherry . the recommended dosage was a “wine - glassful three times a day , ” and consumers were cautioned , “do not refrigerate this product…as it may turn to wine . ” chilling caused the medicinal elements to settle to the bottom of the bottle , resulting in a 22 % alcohol wine .

the property was scheduled to be sold at a sheriff’s auction , but the sale was canceled when the business filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in camden , n . j . milza plans to keep the winery and resort open while the company’s finances are reorganized . oceanfirst bank in toms river , n . j . , has a $ 7 . 9 million mortgage on the property and foreclosed on renault .
along with an attached winery , this hotel has 2 outdoor pools and a golf course . self parking is free . other amenities include a restaurant , a bar / lounge , and a seasonal outdoor pool .
universal foods acquired the winery in 1968 and ran it until mcc presidential , a new jersey - based investment group , took ownership in 1974 , the resort company said . milza purchased it three years later .

and hurricane sandy , which in 2012 forced the resort to temporarily close and chilled tourism throughout south jersey , took a bite out of renault’s revenue , which last year was between $ 6 million and $ 7 million , del vecchio said .
renault is open daily . while i highly recommend the tour / tasting combo , wine can be purchased at their gift shop and at festivals sponsored by the garden state wine growers association . renault at any one time has several wines to offer – riesling , fleur de blanc , blueberry champagne , burgundy , cabernet sauvignon , garden state red , and american port . the fleur de blanc made from noah , a white grape native to new jersey and the blueberry champagne are favorites .

the resort , which straddles egg harbor city and galloway township , filed for bankruptcy protection in november , having fallen behind on loans from mortgagee oceanfirst bank . the bank obtained a $ 7 . 7 million mortgage foreclosure judgment against renault last summer .
on to make sure our day went smoothly ! and a special shout out to billy who really went out of his way for us all night long and made sure we ate ! it’s truly a day we will never forget thanks to renault .
john d ' agostino wangled a special dispensation for the winery to stay in business by making sacramental wines for church use . d ' agostino also started a line of tonics that happened to be 44 - proof alcohol with the addition of a sour - tasting ingredient called peptone . renault ' s warning label made the sales pitch : it cautioned consumers not to refrigerate the product or else it would become wine . when chilled , the peptone separated out and voilă : vino .

renault is truly the best . from the very beginning of the planning process they were organized , efficient , and kind . the day of the wedding they treated us like royalty from the moment we arrived . everything ran smoothly and we wanted for nothi . . .
i got married in the renault grand ballroom on 9 / 20 / 14 and everything was perfect in every way ! from the beautiful scenary to the food , everything was amazing . valerie , our wedding coordinator , was extremely helpful throughout the entire proces . . .
i cannot say enough good things about renault . we had a fall wedding at the tuscany house hotel and it was absolutely amazing . valerie is super attentive and made sure everything was perfect - which it was . several of our guests said that it . . .
incredible is a word that doesn ' t fully describe to setting . we had the absolutely beautiful wedding day at a historical and unique venue . valerie mcgeary was our coordinator at renault , and let me just say that she was efficient , organized , re . . .
it was a growth even prohibition could not hold back . in 1919 john d ' agostino and family bought the winery and continued to operate during the fourteen years of prohibition under a special government permit . this permit allowed the production of wines for religious and medicinal purposes . renault wine tonic , which had an alcoholic content of 22 percent , became the chief product and was sold in drug stores throughout the nation . a label warned “not to chill the tonic , as it would turn into wine which is illegal . ”
that ' s a beautiful course at the winery . and we have blue heron pines and galloway national . but the golf bubble has burst . we have a lot of people who depend on ( the golf courses ) ,
he said .
the winery is currently celebrating it ' s 150th anniversary , but is scheduled for a sheriff ' s sale , so if you want to take the wine tasting tour or hit the buffet , better go quick as it may not be around long .
@ stewienz ; they are allowed to call it champagne because louis renault settled on the land and brought over the original grapes from the champagne region of france where he was from . the original soil / grapes / seeds , etc . were from champagne france ; thus allowing it to be called champagne . it is a a very interesting story and history of the winery from its inception . it ' s a shame that it is up for sheriff sale ; and hopefully the new owners will continue the tradition of the 150 years .
i could not ask for any other place to have my wedding . valerie and the staff at renault were so professional . from the cake to the small details everything was as perfect as i could ever image . valerie was there for us every step of the way . . .
me and my husband have been here quite a few times and have told many family members about it . unfortunately this sunday was less than satisfactory . first we pull up to the winery with it’s covered sign in a tarp and wine barrels are all . . .
the winery’s chief operating officer , dennis del vecchio , commented , “we have been here for 150 years , and our plan will ensure us being here long into the future . we’re not looking to sell the place . we’re looking to continue the legacy here . ”
the winery itself is beautiful but the day of the wedding , even though it was pouring rain , was absolutely stunning . i was expecting everything to be nice but it was absolutely perfect . the lighting was just right , the fireplace was going , the . . .
