What could make your trip to a vineyard even more special? A memorable dining experience, that’s what, and you’ll find that at Newport Vineyards, set on over 100 acres of preserved farmland just minutes from Newport, RI. With its own gardens and greenhouses, and relationships with local purveyors, the vineyard establishment can honestly boast a true farm-to-table menu. You might start with baked Narragansett Creamery Feta or Narragansett Bay Quahog Chowder, for example. Try a fish sandwich, burger or vegan pizza with local veggies, then finish with desserts right from the vineyard bakeshop. And of course you’ll want a glass or two of wine, from cabernets to sparkling chardonnays, or a craft beer from the Taproot Brewing Company. The views inside and out are spectacular; the atmosphere warm and inviting.
