Newport Mansions Wine & Food Festival Tickets Now Available

NEWPORT, RI — Tickets for the 18th annual Newport Mansions Wine and Wood Festival are now on sale to the public.

The festival, which is presented by J.P. Morgan Wealth Management, is scheduled for Sept. 22 to 24. Closed since Jan. 2 while undergoing an extensive restoration, Rosecliff will host 21 seated tasting seminars featuring fine wines and other beverages from around the world as well as a charcuterie seminar. There will also be a Vintner Dinner on Friday evening, and a Sunday Festival Brunch.

Following each seminar, guests will be invited to spend time on the grounds of Rosecliff in the VIP tasting tent, where they can enjoy a new culinary experience with samples of cuisine from chefs and restaurants as well as additional wines.

The festival’s Vintner Dinner will feature a chef collaboration hosted by Emmy-winner and four-time James Beard Award recipient Andrew Zimmern on Friday evening. A Sunday festival brunch will also take place in the Rosecliff Ballroom.

"It is almost impossible to describe how Rosecliff has been revitalized by this massive restoration project," Newport County Preservation Society CEO Trudy Coxe said. "It is going to provide a spectacular stage for the Wine and Food Festival, which is always one of the major events of the year. The weekend is loaded with phenomenal seminars, and we expect tickets to go quickly, so don’t wait"
