NOW OPEN: NJWINESELLER AT THE CRANBURY INN

NJWineseller brings its impeccable reputation as one of New Jersey’s most celebrated epicurean brands to historic Cranbury. NJWineseller’s newest store, certain to be one of the largest beverage stores in the Garden State, is now housed in The Cranbury Inn’s addition built in 2005. The addition, formerly used for banquet receptions, was constructed to replace an original barn (destroyed by fire in 1902) which dated back to the mid-1700s. Going forward, we welcome banquet celebrations in the restaurant’s private rooms. NJWineseller at The Cranbury Inn is a one-stop-shop for an expansive array of over a thousand fine wines, hundreds of mainstream and artisanal spirits, sparkling and still canned cocktails, seltzers, gourmet foods, gifts and much more, but also for information and suggestions when it comes to selection, pairings and ensuring the pleasure of every palate. Whether you are looking for a gift or something to enjoy, we invite you to ask away—rely on the experience and deep-rooted knowledge of our sommeliers and enologists (experts in the study, science, and selection of wines) and masters of libations. 

THE CRANBURY INN HAS UNDERGONE SOME CHANGES

The new owners of this historic building have taken the opportunity to further preserve the site’s rich heritage. Repairs and necessary updates are being made while maintaining the structural integrity and tradition of The Cranbury Inn.

New and returning patrons to the New Jersey landmark can now experience the upgraded full-service bar, boasting 24 beers on tap and over two dozen wines. Visitors can also swing by the newly added NJWineSeller retail store to bring their favorite beers, wines, and spirits home. The newly-reopened Cranbury Inn is a historic landmark with modern amenities.
