A lot of people steer clear of wine festivals and events because, I think, they are under the impression that they are snobby with elitest wine know-it-alls who just want to impress you with their knowledge. What fun is that, right? This may be true at some events but not all.
Don't let the luxurious, gilded age backdrop fool you at Newport Mansions Wine and Food Festival. Yes, it was known as a place of immense wealth and formality but today it's more fun than anything. It's an opportunity to learn more about wine if one wants to, see some great chef demonstrations and enjoy food samples and tastings, meet new people from all over the country or just relax at a beautiful spot on the water.
It's also a chance to get all dressed-up and dance the night away at some of the more elegant evening events. We will be there again this year as we always consider the weekend (September 20-22) to be both the kickoff for and the highlight of the Fall social season. We are absolutely confident that if you make either a day or a weekend of it you will not be disappointed. Tickets can be purchased here. Saturday typically sells out first. See you there!
