Newport Vineyards hosted its seventh annual Harvest Festival on Oct. 26-27. Guests celebrated the season’s crush during the weekend event, with tastings of Newport Vineyards’ wines and fresh beer from its Taproot brewery paired with seasonal cuisine prepared from scratch by the Newport Vineyards’ culinary team. Celebrants enjoyed live music by Dudemanbro and Real Weird. More entertainment included the event’s famous grape-stomping competition, a stein-hoisting contest and, just in time for Halloween, a costume contest with prizes.
