Wine Train Makes First Run

 

By Jack Fichter

CAPE MAY- The first Wine Train in the history of Cape May Seashore Lines made its inaugural run from this Victorian city to the Hawk Haven Vineyard and Winery in Middle Township Oct. 12.
The two-car train, featuring a 1940’s vintage cafe car and a dining car, left Cape May shortly after noon and stopped in Middle Township off Seashore Road, across the street from Hawk Haven Winery about 12:25 p.m. The tracks are located near the grape vines.
Ric Rutherford, owner of Rio Station restaurant led a wine tasting on board which continued with a lunch at the winery.
Todd and Kenna Wuerker, owners of Hawk Haven Vineyard and Winery welcomed guests to their new tasting room. They said they would concentrate on regular trips beginning in the spring. Two Wine Trains are scheduled for Tuesday Oct. 13. For details see: www.hawkhavenvineyard.com
The trains marked the return of passenger trains on the railroad after a two year absence.
