Less than three miles from the ocean and planted on 10 acres of gently sloping, sandy, Cape Cod Winery’s vineyard mimics the great vineyards of southern France and northern Italy. Sip and savor the flavors of Cape Cod while you taste over nine different varieties of wine under their large post & beam tent placed over crushed seashells.
In the warm summer months, there’s nothing like catching a Cape Cod Baseball League game! Falmouth’s home team, the Commodores, is one of the many teams that play on Cape Cod in the summertime. A little bit of interesting trivia: the league boasts over one thousand former players who have gone on to play in the Major Leagues!
