I stopped here on a Friday afternoon after hearing how great of a destination it was. The view and entire setup did not disappoint! It was beautiful with views of their huge vineyard and a large outdoor seating area. The staff was all very safe and made sure to keep the tables distanced. You could get a flight of 4 and mix and match beer and wine which I thought was very different. Additionally all of their wines but the dessert ones were allowed in the flight. Each wine we had was good and Im glad we had a chance to try it. The food they offered was also very tasty, however it was pretty expensive. We got the cheese board which was $20 and in my opinion had very little in it for the price. But the price for the wine and flights were very reasonable! Overall Id recommend a stop in! Make a reservation though!

We had a great experience at Newport Vineyards. Their COVID restrictions were above and beyond, and we felt safe the whole time. Our waitress was so friendly, and gave great advice in regard to vegetarian offerings, and wine options. The wine flight was very generously portioned. We read reviews that the food wasn’t great but we were thrilled with our pretzel, and both loved our burgers (veggie and regular).

We had a great experience. Staff was nice and follow all the protocols need in these days. Had a great tasting 3 of wine and 1 of beer. We had lunch and it was also fantastic. Make your reservation and enjoy. Remember you only have 90 minutes.

A fun place to visit. The wine is very good, the beer is good if you’re a beer drinker which I am not. The food is excellent The servings are small but delicious. . Definitely a place to visit over and over.

Awesome place, good wine, good food, you can see the Vineyard and take some photos in the back, and they have a pretty good shop for wine type gifts and such.

I enjoy going to Newport Vineyard. The staff is very helpful and the ambiance is usually nice and festive specially outside. It’s definitely a little touristy and it can get crowded, you definitely need a reservation.

Beautiful venue with great food, wine, and beer. Good thing Im not nearby or wed be there every weekend.

Great for making an impression. Even better for date night.Contacted Newport Vineyards by email in advance to booking a reservation on OpenTable. As I was planning a date night for my wife & I, they were quick to respond when I asked if there would be enough room for a stroller. They were quick to respond & answered all my questions. Reservations was quick & simple.The menu had a wide variety of offerings. We enjoyed the cheese board, house made pastrami sandwiches, and flights of beer & wine. I myself had the beef flight. The unfiltered Belgian was a unique brew that I was glad I tried. The Open Daily was my favorite. Stay away from the seasonal pumpkin beers. Far too much cinnamon. The pastrami sandwich was large & delicious. Bill was about $120 after gratuity.Parking is easy. Location is beautiful, overlooking the winery. Tables are spaced far apart due to pandemic regulations, which was kind of nice to have some space from other tables on date night!

Great experience! Went to taproot. In the covid times this place has it down pat. Beer was good, food was pricey but well worth the extra pennys. Will definitely be back

Always the best!! Best Vineyard in town

Delicious food and a vast selection of beer and wine flights! Tried a little bit of everything and wasnt dissapointed, even a pumpkin beer at the moment. The charcuterie was well balanced, the barbecue was tender, the Mac and cheese was creamy, the dip was warm and smooth, the pimento cheese was well balanced and the hummus gave a nice balance to the other dishes. Also topped it all off with the warm skillet chocolate chip cookie!

This is one of my go-to vineyards. They do it right. Low-key, slightly fancy, but not pretentious, and a brewery to boot. Good beer, good wine, good food. A must-stop if youre in the area.

The waitress was incredible service was great for was delicious wine and beer were tasteful

Great food. Like their service. We go their every year with the family before the beginning of fall. Also love the choice of wines.

Nice atmosphere and tasty wines. Great place to meet up with friends. The only con is the tasting area-standing room only. A more intimate type of set up for tasting might be better. Brix Restaurant is next door-great food!

Setting is beautiful (we were there in July). The menu has something everyone and the food was all absolutely delicious. The beers were also quite tasty. Staff is friendly and covid-conscious, highly recommend this spot!

At location, they do a great job working through the pandemic. HOWEVER, the website and all signage around the location are unclear about outside food. It reads that picnicking is prohibited in the vineyards. It does not mention outside food anywhere for those going for a tasting. They also need to inform their staff. I would like to give 5 stars, but only if they change that. Otherwise, we had great, friendly staff including the manager who needed to deliver the bad news.

Good views of the vineyard, good small bites to share, and surprisingly good beer! Easy to make reservations via OpenTable!

The server was great but the manager was extremely rude and unprofessional, definitley do not recommend this place. They have Covid regulations that dont allow you to take a picture on the grass. So ridiculous and makes absolutely no sense.

Great food and amazing ambiance. Love when. You can sit outside and enjoy the views.

Excellent facility with lots of staff. Very busy on the summer weekends, so plan accordingly. The grounds are beautiful. Plan on spending at least two hours. They offer both wine and beer, so there is plenty to taste. There is also food on premises.

The mediocre food and wine was not worth the TERRIBLE customer service you will receive. The manager (assuming that’s who he was) is rude and clearly lacks customer service skills. Save yourself the money and go somewhere where it is valued, because here it is clearly not.

The experience was fine UNTIL we tried to take one picture infront of the vinyard and were very rudely addressed by the management. The entire time we saw countless families take pictures in front of the vinyard and when we went we were called out for it. Last time I checked you dont transmit Covid by being in a secluded area. AVOID this place they dont respect their clients at all.

Wine was good, however came here during a quiet afternoon and we weren’t allowed to sit outside even though there were open tables and we had a reservation. Management was unhelpful and rude after several attempts of asking for a better accommodation.

This is one of my favorite vineyards. On a return trip to Newport, I was most excited about the trip to return here. The vineyard is beautiful, and it felt like paradise to sit outside for hours, read a book, get food occasionally, and drink delicious wine.Unfortunately, thats not what happened on my return trip. Im still giving it 5 stars based on my first visit, but I would skip for now until after covid. Currently, you cant wander through the vineyard, they had a time limit of an hour and a half for how long you could stay (even though there were tons of empty tables: why not just let me move to one of those if my table was reserved for someone else after the hour and a half?), and they serve the wine into plastic cups. (Plastic cups? Why? Other vineyards are still using wine glasses and every restaurant is using glasses too, so I dont understand the logic here. And, its a vineyard, so its not a stretch to say people are particularly interested in the wine... So why downgrade the experience of the primary product you sell? Doesnt make sense to me.)At any rate, after covid, if Im in the area, Ill do a return visit and hope that it has returned to the experience it first gave.

Laura, the assistant director, made our experience! This place is amazing and I highly recommend. Ask for Laura when you arrive - she was wonderful to work with. We loved our visit!

I’m very upset. I just left this winery and the manager “Gardner” wouldn’t sit us outside although I saw many open seating options. I understand we’re in a pandemic but wouldn’t you rather have more people outside than inside? And his explanation was bazaar. They stated it’s first come first serve for outside seating yet we had to sit inside while they had several empty seats outside. It was very stupid and his logic made no sense. Very upset!!

Nice social distancing place... good food and wine. Portions are smallish so get a tad more if you want to be full

Great outdoor seating and atmosphere. Good wines but I wish there were more beer choices. Food is OK

Outstanding food. Enjoyed overlooking the vineyard. What more could you ask for!

This place is terrible , made us drive over an hour and wouldnt give us a tour, couldnt even let me lean of the counter, cant take my mask off for even a second while at the table. The staff was extremely rude

Here for a bachelorette party. I understand that there is a pandemic but they were RUDE and the service was terrible. They were literally all over the place. They gave us a 5pm reservation but failed to tell us that last call was at 5:30 and told us we would have an hour and a half when we did not. Then they said “don’t worry you can buy a bottle and drink it at the table and stay as long as you want” and when i went to go buy a bottle they lied. You couldn’t drink it at the table. So we basically came here for no reason. They also yelled at us while we were waiting for an Uber as if I should stand in the street. Rude staff. Like super rude.

Very tasty foods.Friendly serving

Great wine, great food (the cheese platter was wonderful) and the grounds are simply beautiful. We went September 30th, a sunny early Fall day and enjoyed ourselves completely. The staff is very knowledgeable and the prices were on point. We sat at the outside patio, then took a glass of wine to sit on the Adirondack chairs to relax and enjoy sitting among the grapes. I dont drink white wines, but ended up going home with two bottles of their Great White! Highly recommend.

C.s. is great and of course the wine and beer are superb

I’ve been to many vineyards- wine tasting to say the least and I wasn’t pleased with the service at this vineyard. For starters, I had a reservation at 215pm and it just so happened that I arrived early at 1:40PM and didn’t get seated till 2:10. When I did get seated I got assigned to a table inside shoved in the corner. I had seen there were tables available outside, so I asked the hostess for better seating. I was told “Those tables are all reserved, they’re reserved for 2:15PM” I had mentioned that my reservation was for that exact time and I had been waiting for 30 minutes at that point and there weren’t even people at those tables yet. This vineyard really wasn’t accommodating at all. Even with time going on I saw no one attend serval tables outside that we could have been swooped for. Overall, this visit was very disappointing especially when you’re visiting from out of town and having people with you wine taste for their first time.

Great experience at a wine and cheese tasting. Fabulous pairings, generous pours, and absolutely delicious cheeses. Not cheap, but the quality was on par with price so I consider it a great value. Overall a lovely evening. Much more relaxed than other tastings I’ve experienced.

Awesome wine, one of the best cheese boards we have ever had :)

Beautiful vineyard with a very cool and chill vibe!! They also have some really cool wine glass coozies!!

This was an impulse trip. So off we go, unsure what to expect. Upon arrival we were unsure what we wanted to do so we started with the wine tasting. Our host Sarah( she is great by the way) knew how to handle all our questions and or anything we asked her. Only 2 months on the job, WAY TO GO SARAH!!We enjoyed our tasting and decided on some snacks, no disappointment there, food was top notch. Thanks for that. great job all around. Stop in if in the area, well worth it.

Wine was alright. The service and ambience was really nice though.

Came in for the farmers market. Plentiful bounty for locals and visitors. We grabbed a few snacks from the vendors and had to match it with a flight of beers. Wonderful atmosphere. So much going on in all the different areas.

Im right between 3 and 4 starts - so 3.5. Our group of 6 came to Newport Vineyards for a wine tasting and dinner at Taproot this past weekend, June, 2020. The wines were solid - the white was better and more unique than the red in our opinion. Group favorites were the Island White (reminiscent of Welchs White Grape Juice) & Tranquility. The reds were just ok - probably to be expected, as RI isnt known for its wine country. Still a fun experience and lovely to look out at the vines and property.The atmosphere was lovely but unfortunately we were prevented from walking around the property due to COVID restrictions. Very silly that you can walk around the confined gift store and touch items in close quarters with other customers, but not spend time outside where theres plenty of space.This isnt the fault of the Vineyard, but still a bummer.The food was a bit of a disappointment, especially for the price points. Unfortunately, almost everyone had something go wrong with their meal and no one was blown away. We had burned buns on sandwiches/burgers (not charred - burned and hard enough to make them inedible), under-cooked root vegetables, and soggy chips. I have a gluten allergy and asked our waitress if they had gluten free buns - she said shed check and let me know. When my food came out, it was a burger without a bun. If I would have known/if the waitress would have gotten back to me, I would have placed a different order - especially because I ordered the beet/bean burger and it made for a sad entree without a bun and toppings.Overall Id recommend the vineyard itself for the experience, but would have to give the food another try before recommending.

From a California guy who wanted to try some wine on the other part of the country, Im all for Newport Wines. Im typically a Cab/Cab Franc type of guy and ordered their Pinot Noir for my mom and its absolutely incredible. Im always trying to find new wines and I cant wait to try some more options they have.

Excelente customer service. We had lunch there and food was delicious, I highly recommend the cheese board. The tour to the vineyards was really well explained and the wine tasting was great. Nice ambiance and live music.

The wine tasting is fun, especially on a nice day when you can enjoy the view of the vineyard and maybe play a game of Jenga or corn hole. My only complaint is the crowd. You may have to wait for a wine tasting or a table. Be prepared to be patient.

My wife and I held our rehearsal dinner there. All of our guests we very impressed with the venue. Food is delicious, service was perfect. I would give a 6th star as a bonus if I could.

Food and drink were good but was very rushed and management was very rude. Will not be going back.

They shouldve told guest that the outdoor area would be closed due to an event. I didnt want to sit inside a cafeteria to drink my beer. Pretty dissapointing.. Plus, during this covid 19 shenanigans, shouldnt we be safer outside? Im so confused..

Stopped by after work. So beautiful. Amazing vineyard. Fabulous facilities, tours and gift shop. Worth a stop!

Love it here. My favorite place to go. Everything tastes amazing! The blush wine was my number 1

Short Summary: Not dog friendly.Long Story:The employees were not helpful what so ever during my recent visit. I had my comfort dog with me and entered the building since there was no clearly marked area where to enter with the dog. Even signs saying not to enter on the outside open areas.I read online that this place allowed dogs and I saw a full size Labrador enjoying their time with their owners. I entered and proceeded to have the main hostess tell me about the offerings but never indicated any issues with my dog.Pulled from their own site:“Dogs are allowed on outdoors but must remain leashed at all times. Only service dogs are allowed in the tasting room, restaurants or outdoor dining sections of the Vineyard Cafe.”I was more than happy to have a tasting outdoors such as the Lab too. Three other workers appeared and told me that the dog had to go outside all within a minute. Very taken aback by this behavior and lack of direction. I happily took my business elsewhere.Having a group of employees follow you around within a minute of coming in to telling you to leave is not welcoming nor professional. I’ve been in wineries coast to coast and have never seen or had any issues with my dog.

Nice vineyard with a large facility and even accompanying craft beer on location. Very busy on the weekends but they had live music and even some food available. Chill atmosphere.

Excelente! Great variety of wine from dry to sweet. Spacious and inviting. Prices are reasonable, vineyard tours. Brix restaurant on premise offers a great menu and a view of the vineyard as well.

Wow, this place has come a long way since we visited about 5 years ago! My wife and I decided to do a tasting when we visited today. The tasting room is large and bright with access to the outdoors and adjacent vines. We were able to taste 5 wines - each a generous pour and all delicious. There is also a cafe serving lunch next to the tasting area and a separate dining room open for dinner. Highly recommended.

If your in Newport I would highly recommended coming here.

Nice place, flights of wine or beer, good food, good service

Excellent variety of unique wines and tasty food! I highly recommend this vineyard! Definitely try the island white wine if its still available. The island white honestly smells a little odd, but it tastes amazing.

Great summer experience! We loved the live music along with our cheese box and wine flight.

Breathtaking views and real good food.

Unique, quality experience

Good beer. Tried pilsner and NE IPA. Both solid. Nice location. Friendly staff. Laid back.

If you have ever been to a winery, this is not for you. Although, the service was friendly and the atmosphere is nice.

Really happening spot. Great wine, great beer, great atmosphere.

Beautiful property, great wine, beer, and entertainment. A great place to spend an afternoon on a summer weekend.

We stopped by and took advantage of their free tour. The tour was extremely informative, and the tour guide knowledgeable. The tastings are priced absurdly high at $17 for 5 tastings. We enjoyed the tour, and passed on the tasting.

Great tasting room atmosphere and restaurant attached. The wines were mostly quite good although a bit pricey to buy by the bottle

Great experience. Environment was inviting and relaxing. Tour was informative. Sarah answered all of our questions and was a pleasure to talk with. Will head back soon.

This place is great. Tastings have good pours, wines are tasteful. Staff is real plesant. The wine club gets great savings on a case.

All of the employees were so amazing. Came a little late but they were all so welcoming and we left very happy and the wine was amazing. Patrick and Brendon helped us and they were AMAZING!!!!️

WOW!!! We did the wine tasting first. My personal favorite wine was the Fidal Blanc (80% sure thats what it was called). Then we got lunch afterwards and we LOVED everything we got. I got the charcuterie board and pretzel. My boyfriend really loved the grumpy IPA and the thanksgiving sandwich. Of all the places we went to during our trip, this was by far our favorite.

Definitely stop by when in town! Whether it be for a glass of wine or a flight of their Taproot beers, a light lunch or dinner at Brix, the atmosphere is relaxing as well as fun and lively. I would recommend taking your beverage of choice outside where you can sit amongst the vines or just look out on them. They have great live music and food. Cheers!

My wife and I got married in April at Newport Vineyards. From the first day we walked in to tour the site (which was the same day we booked it) until walking out the door at the end of our wedding, the entire process was wonderful. Jenna and her team were amazing. She was always available, prompt, and happy to answer questions. Our day turned out more perfect than we could have imagined.We were the first lesbian wedding at Newport Vineyards and never once were we made to feel different or that our day wouldn’t be perfect. We were stress-free planning a wedding knowing that Jenna and her team were by our side. Our tasting meeting was one of the best meals we have ever had. We ate incredible food made by Chef Andy and tasted wine for hours while finalizing our menu. When we wanted to do things a little differently, we were met with excitement and flexibility.Planning a wedding with an outdoor ceremony space can be stressful, but knowing that there was a gorgeous indoor space if the weather didn’t cooperate allowed us to relax the week leading up to the wedding. We knew that the team would make either site perfect. They coordinated everything with our vendors, so there was very little we needed to do once vendors were selected. We were able to enjoy the day getting ready, not wondering if the cake or flowers showed up on time.The staff made our night down right magical. Everything we hoped for went off without a hitch (or if there was a hitch, we didn’t know about it)! We had such an incredible evening surrounded by family and friends, enjoying incredible food, wines, craft beer, and signature cocktails crafted by Brenna. The event staff were wonderful, attentive and ensured that every guest was taken care of. Darcy was our right-hand woman at the wedding and made sure we ate, drank, and felt special the whole night. It was perfection. We would 100% recommend Newport Vineyards! Our only regret is that we can’t get married every weekend.

Great winery with fantastic views! Weve been to Napa Valley and Willamette Valley multiple times over the years and some of these wines were certainly on par with some of the greats on the West coast. The white merlot was particularly good as was the Landot Noir, both has great flavors! It was also super enjoyable to walk outside the tasting room and grab a table overlooking the vineyard!

Outstanding way to spend a beautiful Spring day - live music outdoors, lawn games, beer, wine and food. Some wait time but they did their best to accommodate a full house! Great food and beverages; great service; fun venue.

Great beverages but oh my god AVOID the cafe at all costs. The wings were terrible and the salads which offered chicken came with nothing on them for $18 per meal. Make sure you eat before you go because they don’t allow food on the vineyard but the food they have is AWFUL.

Winery, shop, and restaurant. Some nice white grape based selections.

Our tasting was fantastic. Lance was knowledgeable and engaging and the rest of the tasting staff very attentive. We were starving once we had finished that and were craving a cheese/charcuterie selection. Lance pointed us in the direction of their Taphouse eatery. It looked quiet but inviting. I asked the hostess if we could sit outside and she said no we arent seating outside. I said no problem as long as we could have a window seat (several appeared to be vacant). She said fine but I will have to put you on a list. There are other people ahead of you so I could text you. Wherever these people were they were invisible or somewhere else. And if there was to be a wait there are other more welcoming ways to present that. Turned us right off. None of this can take away from our tasting experience but it would have been perfection if the dining experience was more hospitable to say the least.

I visited Brix several times, when they first opened, several years ago. I wasnt very impressed with the atmosphere (very loud) or the food. Last night, I decided to try them again and was pleasantly surprised! As a solo diner, I chose to sit at the bar, which offers very comfortable stools, that are upholstered on the seat, as well as the back. The bartender promptly greeted me with a smile and pleasant demeanor. I requested to taste two of the house portfolio chardonnays, which she had no problem with. (In The Buff was my favorite!) After I made my selection and requested a glass of ice water (which was immediately delivered!) she presented the dinner menu, along with the special Pre-Fixe menu. She was more than happy to answer my questions and even made suggestions of her personal favorites. I decided to order from the Pre-Fixe menu, which is an outstanding deal! $35 for 3 courses, all of which offer a wonderful variety of choices. For my 1st course, I chose the Cheese Board, which included both Chevre & Alisios cheeses, assorted nuts, fresh blueberry jam, sliced apples and housemade Taproot spent grain bread. My entree choice was the Braised Blackbird Farm Beef - which was delectable! Cooked to perfection, with an amazing sauce and local root vegetables...the meat melted in my mouth and no knife was needed, it was so very tender. Dessert (which I ended up taking to-go) was a delightful assortment of the Pastry Chef’s Favorite Small Bites...yummay! All and all, my dining experience was incredible and I will definitely be returning soon!

Beautiful setting for our sons wedding. The food was amazing and the staff was friendly and eager to please. And the wine and beer was sooo good.

Great place to chill

Stopped for a wine tasting while in Middletown. Great facility but the wine tasting didnt live up to the building. The wines were good but the person giving our tasting couldnt have been more disinterested in his job. No explanation of the wines he was pouring, just splashed it into our glasses and walked away. If we hadnt marked down what we wanted to taste we would not even know what he was pouring. I have been to wine tastings all over the world, for service, this one ranks at the bottom of the list.

Beautiful spot, love the nachos, beer and wine!

Unique location for dinner, wine- tastings, weddings and special events,. Came for a special wedding...rehearsal dinner through vows and reception. Food was uniquely prepared, such as braised scallops with corn chowder sauce and sauteed kale. Lovely wines, waitstaff is well versed on recommendations for pairings.

Great food, wine, and beer. Even better atmosphere.

Getting a little too busy here on the weekends. They only had one small outdoor bar to order beer and wine by the glass with one bartender. Yet they had five large wine tasting bars. Would have been better if you didnt have to wait half hour for a glass of wine.

The wine and beer are good, The grounds and the hiking trail make it a 5 star

Thank you very much we had an amazing experience here and the wine was amazing. We had great Service, If you want to be treated like a valued guest this is the spot for you. I would highly recommend this winery to anyone looking for a solid experience. You did not feel rushed you could enjoy everything. The wine was delicious, and the prices are reasonable as well. We will be returning soon.

A rainy Sunday on Memorial Day Weekend meant this place was PACKED. The good thing was they had the capacity and systems in place to handle it, and we got a tasting quickly and easily.The winery is large and well done in general. Theres quite a few tasting areas, a little restaurant, and a snack stand. On the day we were there, they had live music and we were led to a tasting bar right next to the tanks in the winery itself.The experience was nice and all of the staff were very friendly. Tastings cost $15 each, which is steep to begin with, but you get to keep your glass afterwards if youd like. You get 5 decent pours of wines of your choice for the tasting. While the wines were good, none of them really stood out to me as contenders for favorites. My girlfriend and I both enjoyed them and picked up a bottle of the Island White to go.Overall, a fun experience and a nice winery visit for a rainy Sunday.

Loved the wine tasting here! Plenty of options to choose from for your five tastings, plus they gave a sixth complimentary. Beautiful space. I would definitely come back here!

Old style charm. Indoor open space, lots of nice food, and drinks, Sat. morning farmers market. Prices hefty

Great atmosphere. Poor customer service experience, though. The hostess was awkward and told us we had to put our name in for the wine tasting. We ended up ordering glasses at the bar and waited outside in the vineyard. About an hour later we come back and asked the hostess if there was an update on getting in for the tasting. She said she had called all on the list(we did not receive a call or text) and took us back immediately, as if it was silly we were even waiting. Our wine tasting experience was alright, although our bartender/server stopped sharing information on the wines halfway through when another bartender showed up. This place might be more about atmosphere and less about wine quality and service.

Stopped in for lunch & wine!! sat at the bar.. food was great. people are super nice

Great wine and theyve got solar panels!

We love the wine here at Newport Vineyards! They have a great selection of different red and white wines and even their hard cider Rhody Coyote is pretty good. The vineyard is a great place to spend a few hours when youre on the island and the two restaurants they have serve really good food. Be prepared to spend a few dollars if you want to visit though because its quite pricey if you buy the wine at the winery compared to a local liquor store.

The $15 tasting is a good value as youll get a nice buzz as well as a souvenir wineglass, if youre into that. The staff was helpful and attentive when they werent busy, and otherwise polite when they were busy. Newport does a lot of interesting white wines especially well. Looking forward to visiting again! My only negative comment is that its not reasonably walkable, no sidewalks close by.

Beautiful Vineyard. Lots of indoor and outdoor space. Room for outdoor activities, including cornhole. Food choices were delicious. I just wish I could have ordered some of the food from the restaurant to been enjoyed outdoors. Wine was good. Unfortunately, they were out of the 2 wines that I really wanted to try, but otherwise it was a great experience!

This pace had a fantastic selection of wine. I did the tasting, which was fairly priced. Got to try 5 different wines, plus the wine of the month. Most of the servers in the tasting room were very friendly, attentive and knowledgeable.

Did a wine tasting. The Vidal Blanc was my favorite. The reds were a bit smoky for my taste. The servers asked us about our previous wine experiences to provide a frame of reference. Good guides.

Went to the wine tasting. They have a number of house wines that are fabulous! The staff is really friendly. Next time I vacation in Newport, I will definitely return!
