Newport Mansions Wine & Food Festival Returns for 19th Year

By November 1, 2024Rhode Island, Top News

The Newport Mansions Wine & Food Festival returned for its 19th year with a weekend of wine dinners, seminars, tastings and brunches on Sept. 22-24. Guests had the opportunity to taste and experience wines and spirits from every major wine region and enjoy dishes from artisanal food purveyors and top restaurants. The first day of seminars on Sept. 22 at Rosecliff gave guests more than a dozen educational opportunities to attend and enjoy, with classes on Pinot Noirs from around the world, Northern California wines, an exploration of Port, a cocktail master class featuring spirits from Rémy Cointreau and a sake tasting paired with cuisine prepared by James Beard Award Semifinalist Chef Basil Yu. Festival sponsors poured brands at locations in between seminars, giving guests an extra chance to enjoy offerings. All proceeds from the multiday event benefited the historic preservation efforts of The Preservation Society of Newport County, a nonprofit organization accredited by the American Alliance of Museums and dedicated to preserving and interpreting the area’s historic architecture, landscapes and decorative arts, including its host property, Rosecliff.
