Newport Vineyards hosted its 24th annual WINEterfest Weekend on February 15 and 16. Two days of grape-stomping, wine and beer tasting, an ice wine bar, food, and live music greeted guests, all of whom enjoyed the many activities set amongst its vineyards and facilities. The weekend-long event kicked off with the Speakeasy Soiree, a Prohibition-era party with wine and Prohibition-style cocktails on February 14. Each year, Newport Vineyards holds its WINEterfest Weekend in conjunction with the annual Newport Winter Festival.
