What Renault Winery does

Renault Winery, founded in 1864 by French vintner Louis Nicholas Renault in Egg Harbor City, New Jersey, is America's most historic winery and one of the oldest continuously operating U.S. businesses. Since 2018 it has operated as a subsidiary of VIVÂMEE Hospitality, which acquired the bank-owned property and repositioned it as a 242-acre French-inspired destination resort. The legal entity is Renault FBS LLC, a New Jersey LLC.

The resort generates revenue across eight integrated verticals on a single property: wine production and DTC sales through the Legacy Club wine club (three tiers with 10–20% discounts); F&B via TASTE 1864 fine dining and Café la Fleur Parisian-style cafe; the 55-room Château Renault hotel with multiple packaged stay bundles; Revival Spa (grand-opened November 2024) offering vineyard-inspired treatments, subscription memberships, and specialized rooms (Hammam, Salt, Pink Lady Champagne); the 18-hole Vineyard National golf course with multiple membership tiers; weddings across 19 venue spaces accommodating up to 400 guests; corporate events with 33,000+ sq ft of flexible space; and seasonal experiential programming (Vintner Wonderland, 5K runs, paint-and-sip, ice skating, igloos, fire pits). Operations run on a stack of third-party hospitality SaaS (Resy, Toast Tab, TravelClick/Mews, Book4Time/SpaTime, Chronogolf, Lightspeed Golf, FareHarbor, Eventbrite, RunSignUp).

Distribution is primarily direct-to-consumer at the property, supplemented by listings on The Knot and other wedding/event platforms, plus DTC wine shipments to Legacy Club members nationally. Customer segments are diversified across leisure visitors, wedding couples, corporate event clients, spa and golf members, and wine subscribers within a regional drive market of Philadelphia (one hour) and New York City (two hours). A unique regulatory privilege — the right to label sparkling wine as "Champagne" under a French historical exemption — is the company's most differentiated intangible asset alongside its 160-year brand heritage.
