RI Hospitality Association (RIHA) hosted another installment of its Women in Hospitality (WIH) events at Gooseneck Vineyards in North Kingstown on April 23, part of the trade association’s ongoing series of industry networking events. Sponsored by the South County Tourism Council and Gooseneck Vineyards, attendees enjoyed an evening of wines paired perfectly with a curated spread of gourmet plates and bites from Fig & Fromage Charcuterie. “A heartfelt thank you to South County Tourism and Gooseneck Vineyards for graciously hosting our latest Women in Hospitality event. The welcoming atmosphere, picturesque setting and meaningful connections made it a truly memorable celebration of the incredible women shaping our industry,” said Victoria Greco, Manager of Marketing and Events, RIHA. Named after the picturesque cove along Newport’s Ocean Drive, Gooseneck Vineyards was founded by Paul Fede and his cousin, Liana Buonanno. The winery offers 10 varietals sourced from fine grapes grown around the world. The wines are distributed in the state via Southern Glazer’s Beverage Company – Copley division.
