2 Best Sights in Newport County and East Bay, Rhode Island

White, rosé, red, and dessert wines are all in the portfolio of this winery founded in 1975 and reinvigorated since 2012 by second owner Carolyn Rafaelian of Alex and Ani jewelry fame. If you've ever wondered what a Rhode Island Red (not the chicken!) might taste like, here's your chance to find out. Several of the wines are award winners. In the winery's tasting room you can sample seven of them and keep the glass.

A restored stable on an eight-generations-old farm houses the tasting room of this small producer. All wines, including the semisweet Skipping Stone White with peach notes and the well-balanced Meritage red blend, are made from grapes grown and hand-harvested on the property. Tastings are offered most of the year, and outdoor tables overlooking neat rows of vines abound. On Saturday, May–early December, the winery hosts live jazz concerts.
