What started in 1995 as a small vineyard on Aquidneck Island has evolved into a premier destination renowned for estate-grown wines, exceptional farm-to-table cuisine, craft beer, and its vibrant community-focused events.

To kick off the celebrations, Newport Vineyards will open its Tank Patio this year on May 23, inviting guests to join in a festive atmosphere filled with wine tastings, delightful dining options, and live music. Guests will receive a commemorative anniversary glass, making the experience even more special. "We are thrilled to celebrate this milestone with our loyal patrons and the hardworking team who have been pivotal in our journey," shared co-founder John Nunes, reflecting on the vineyard's commitment to sustainable farming and exceptional hospitality.
