Newport Vineyard Spring Celebration

My wife and I will be spending our 20th anniversary this April up in Newport. I noticed the Newport Vineyard is having their spring celebration that weekend, anyone ever go to this? Is it worth checking out?

Thanks.

Newport Vineyard Spring Celebration

Haven%26#39;t been, and haven%26#39;t really heard anything about it from anyone around town really...my guess is it%26#39;s really just another name for the Open House/Wine tastings that they usually offer.

If it%26#39;s something that interests you, you could easily stop by for a little bit, but it%26#39;s not something you%26#39;d spend the day at or anything. More like a quaint stop if you were out for a drive.

If wineries interest you, the biggeest in the area is Sakonnett Vineyards over in Little Compton. There is also Greenvale Vineyards in Portsmouth, not far from Newport Vineyards.....don%26#39;t be expecting Napa though.

IMO, while the wineries and vineyards are nice, it%26#39;s not like your trip to the Newport area would be incomplete if you didn%26#39;t stop at one.

I agree with Milemarker, the vineyards in this area are quite tiny so don%26#39;t hold your breathe. Sakonnet is bigger and better worth the visit if you%26#39;re a ';grape-nut%26#39; like some of us. Just up the road a little is Westport River Winery in Westport, Mass, similar to Sakonnet, VERY worthwhile a visit and they have Buzzards Bay Brewery at one end of their property. Also, a newer, more undeveloped winery nearby in Dartmouth, Mass is the Running Brook Vineyards (I think that%26#39;s the name) close to Rt 195 which has excellent wines for tastings and sales. But around Newport- hmmmmm, not much.
