Yes, we are gearing up this week for the 14th annual Newport Mansions Wine and Food Festival next weekend. This photo sort of sums up the whole weekend for us. It's a bit of glamour, learning, tasting, sipping, relaxing by the water in beautiful surroundings, meeting lots of interesting people, having wonderful conversations about wine (and beer and spirits) and lots of laughter and fun. We have always described the event as sophisticated but not snobby. Whether you are arriving by private jet or there mostly for the instagram potential it is one, big happy affair for all.
The weekend is full of all kinds of events with something for everyone. It begins on Thursday night with the Maritime Wine Dinner at Forty 1 North and the Burgundy Grand Cru Dinner at The Elms. Friday night features the very elegant Wine and Rosecliff Gala, a stunning social event with food, special wines and live music for dancing in the Gatsbyesque surroundings. There are still a few tickets left for all of these events.
Saturday is the first day of the Grand Tasting at Marble House. It is completely sold out but tickets are still available for Sunday. There are also tickets still available for an after party, brunch and more serious seminars for those eager to learn. Check out the website before all is sold out.
The weather prediction for the weekend is near perfect. In addition to Rosecliff and the Grand Tasting on Saturday we will be at Karma Pizza after the gala on Friday for some delicious late night pizza and après-ski. Feel free to contact or join us. For breakfast on Saturday we'll be at Stoneacre Brasserie and our dinner on Saturday after the event will be at Jo's American Bistro. In between we'll be all over town hitting up as many foodie finds as we can squeeze in. Hope to see you there and we'll have full reviews of everything starting next week.
