Save the dates. Wine dinners, seminars, tastings and brunch await guests of the annual Newport Mansions Wine & Food Festival starting Friday, Sept. 20, 2024 through Sunday, Sept. 22, 2024. Guests will have the opportunity to taste and experience wines from every major wine region, enjoy food from artisanal food purveyors and top restaurants and meet famous local, regional and national chefs.

Its 11 historic properties—seven of them National Historic Landmarks—span more than 250 years of American architectural and social development. Tickets will be available in mid-July.
