Swirl, Sniff and Sip!

The buzz around town (no pun intended) is all about this weekend’s inaugural Newport Winefest, a three-day event (Aug. 20-22) touting itself as “the largest outdoor wine and food festival in New England.” In addition to wines from around the world to enjoy at the Grand Cru Tasting, expect spirits and specialty beers to savor, wine seminars, and cooking demonstrations by local and regional chefs, and a Chefs & Champagne Brunch (2 sessions). It all takes place the Newport Yachting Center. Ticket prices start at $65 and vary on the number of events you package into your experience.
