The story

Newport Mansions Wine and Food Festival in Newport

The Newport Mansions Wine and Food Festival is an annual culinary event held on the grounds of Newport, Rhode Island's Gilded Age mansions, organized in connection with the Preservation Society of Newport County. The festival pairs wine tastings and food from area restaurants and vendors with the setting of the city's historic estate properties.

Newport's Gilded Age mansions were built by industrial-era families whose summer entertaining set a standard for lavish hospitality that shaped American high society for a generation, with formal dinners, elaborate table settings, and imported wines forming an essential part of the social competition among Newport's wealthiest summer residents.
