Newport Vineyards & Restaurant

A Christmas Dream Come True at Newport Vineyards!!! Newport Vineyards is hands down the most amazing place to get married. If you don’t want to read my entire review, here’s a quick synopsis: this venue has it all—breathtaking spaces, incredible farm-to-table food, a top-notch staff, and the perfect vibes for any celebration. From start to finish, they made our wedding unforgettable, and we wouldn’t have changed a thing (except wishing the night could last forever!). We dreamed of a cozy Christmas-winter vibe for our wedding, and Newport Vineyards brought it to life in the most magical way. Our ceremony was held in the stunning wine barrel room, which was intimate, warm, and beautifully set for the occasion. The ambiance alone was worth every penny, but the food and drinks were what truly blew everyone away. Our guests are still raving about the food! The bacon-wrapped scallops were heavenly, the handmade pasta stations were a huge hit, and the late-night crab rangoons were the perfect touch to keep the energy going. One guest even said, "Impeccable espresso martinis and Pinot Noir"—and we couldn’t agree more. The vineyard’s wine selection, paired with perfectly crafted cocktails, kept our guests smiling all night. The staff at Newport Vineyards truly made the experience unforgettable. Jenna, our coordinator, was a dream to work with. She made all the planning decisions feel easy and stress-free, and her attention to detail ensured everything was exactly how we envisioned it. Nick, our catering manager, orchestrated the evening seamlessly, and we never had to worry about a thing. The bartenders were not only talented but also so much fun, adding to the festive atmosphere. A special shoutout goes to Jeannene, our VIP server, who went above and beyond to take care of us throughout the night. From making sure we always had a drink in hand to ensuring we had time to eat and enjoy ourselves, she was simply amazing. Our only complaint? The night ended too early! We didn’t want the party to stop because everything was so perfect. If you’re looking for a Newport wedding venue that delivers exceptional service, unforgettable food and drink, and a truly magical atmosphere, look no further than Newport Vineyards. It’s everything you could want and more!

Beautiful grounds and both indoor /outdoor seating, and they have blankets!!! Incredible variety of beer / wine / cider and more. Gina is a pleasant ray of sunshine and wicked fast with the pours, we got 2 flights and couldnt be happier. Will definitely be back!

My fiancé planned his proposal at Newport Vineyards. He called a month ahead of time and made a reservation for 14 people for us to celebrate afterwards. He had called a few weeks before and asked if they had any other events happening that day which he was told no. When we arrived there was a large wedding and another event happening. Which normally would have been fine but he was unable to do the proposal or have the seating we were hoping to have and were told we could have over the phone. When we got settled at our table to our table our food took a really long time which is understandable with a big party. The frustrating part was that we were told there was another party coming in and we had to get up and leave. We felt rushed out and the waitress was very rude about it and did not even seem to feel bad at all that she was rushing us out after such a big moment. The staff was not friendly to us and seemed annoyed we were there. It put a bad taste in my mouth about hosting future events there. I understand there’s usually limits on reservations but it would have been nice to have been told at the beginning of the reservations that we only had an hour and a half. To me an hour and an a half is not enough time for a large party. We had to rush with all of our stuff and leave. I would not recommend having a big group come here for a celebration.

We recently got married at Newport Vineyards. Our day was beautiful and seamless and the word we have heard over and over from our guests is stunning. The organization and online access when planning helped everything run smoothly. Lily, our event coordinator, was so responsive throughout the entire process and was nothing short of amazing on our wedding day. We chose not to do all of the traditional things at our wedding. NV was flexible and open to different ideas from the decor to the order of events. All of our guests raved about the grounds and the hand drawn chalkboard seating chart. The food was a big consideration for us in choosing a wedding venue and all of our guests enjoyed their meals- a rarity when it comes to weddings. Our service was wonderful as appetizers and desserts we didn't have a chance to grab were set aside for us and sent with us at the end of the night as well. We would absolutely trust Newport Vineyards with our wedding day all over again and we look forward to visiting again in the future.

Pros: Beautiful outdoor area with view of vineyard, decent snacks, fast service

Areas for growth: too many rules..they have a sign with several rules when you first enter, split identity—this place is a brewery and winery—doesn’t exactly mesh, wine quality—all the reds tasted weak for their variation

I have lived in RI for over 25 years and have never stopped by til today…..wow I was missing out. Incredible day between the tour, lunch and buying some recommend wines for the house. My tour guide Gina was fantastic and made great recommendations. Everyone on the staff spirited and had great energy. The cheese and meat boards at lunch are not to be missed. All meats dry aged in house, not your typical charcuterie. Can’t wait to return, made my week!

Our wedding was everything we imagined it would be. We can’t express how glad we are that we chose Newport vineyards as our wedding venue. Lily, Darcy, and the entire staff made our wedding day so perfect and beautiful.

We recently got married at Newport Vineyards and it was literally the best experience. Lily was our event coordinator and answered probably at least 2 emails a week with a million questions during the lead up with patience and kindness. She was truly such a pleasure to work with leading up to and through our wedding night. NV was so organized and made wedding planning as easy as it could be. They took my vision and executed perfectly. The wedding itself was gorgeous, seamless, perfection. We had a VIP server, Jeannie, who got us drinks and apps during cocktail hour and made sure to send us home with apps and desserts we didn’t have a chance to eat throughout the night. Everyone was so kind and attentive and we felt so special. The guests raved about the reception hall, the grounds, cocktail hour on the terrace, and the food! You never hear about good food at weddings and this was a big part of our decision. I could not be happier with our night and cannot say enough good things about our experience. Can’t wait to come back every summer and anniversary!

We had a group of 11 for a birthday party and Susan took the best care of us. Between her knowledge of wine and her hospitality she exceeded all of our expectations.

We had our wedding here on September 27, 2024 and it was the best night! We started planning in January of 2023, and all correspondence and communication with our coordinator was timely and great. I sent a LOT of emails, and she ensured all my concerns and questions were always answered. The food and drinks were amazing- truly still thinking about those appetizers and signature drinks. Our guests are still talking about them! Darcy and the rest of the staff were exceptional! I couldn't recommend Newport Vineyards more. We will definitely be back!

My wife and I came here for the first time after raving reviews from Friends and family. We were seated and waited about 20 minutes before a server finally came to our table.(first red flag) We had the cheese board and flights along with a chicken sand-which that came out pretty decent so kudos for that. We then went To the gift store where we purchased over $300 worth of goods after spending over $100 on the food. My wife asked for a sticker when the woman behind the register told her stickers are free after you purchase a 4 pack, Otherwise their $2.50 each. I get rules are rules but we just spent well over $400 but god forbid we get a free sticker. Food was good, wine was okay but service was disappointing and not super welcoming.

Thank you to Susan for a great wine tour and tasting. We also enjoyed a beer flight by the bar area after with a bite to eat. Excellent addition to our vacation!
