Newport Vineyards was originally planted in 1977 on a hill overlooking Rhode Island Sound with the goal of producing fine table wines and as a way of preserving beautiful agricultural land from rapid development.
The grapes grown in our vineyards are uniquely suited to the soil and climatic conditions that exist along our rugged Rhode Island coast. In particular, the Vidal and Seyval Grape varieties that grow in abundance in our vineyards have adapted well to the long growing season and the intermittent fog that are part of our Newport summers.
Since the initial plantings of Seyval and Vidal, we have also added Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and Landot Noir. We have also just planted an additional 20 acres of primevineyard land adjacent to the Winery.
Our family run Winery is one of the most modern in the East and produces a line of fine premium table wines from our own grapes and from fruit brought in from nearby vineyards. Each of our wines is styled to compliment a broad range of tastes from the soft fruitiness of our Vidal Blanc to the crisp dryness of our Chardonnay.
Many of our wines have been awarded medals of excellence at prestigious international wine competitions. We invite you to try our wonderful wines .in the relaxed atmosphere of our Tasting Room on your next visit to Rhode Island.
