Newport Vineyards hosted its Cheers to 30 Years Cider Festival on Sept. 21. Guests enjoyed award-winning, in-house-made ciders, live music and fun for all ages, as well as treats from the venue’s charcuterie cart and food stations. A cider and dessert bar offered specialty drinks, including an apple cider margarita, cider slushies, mulled wine and hot cider, as well as nonalcoholic choices. The event was part of the venue’s 30-year anniversary series of celebrations, commemorating three decades of growth and community. Founded by brothers John and Paul Nunes in 1995, Newport Vineyards is the largest grower of grapes in New England. The winery produces nearly 30,000 cases of estate-grown wine each year through sustainable farming methods on 100 acres of historically preserved farmland. The Newport Vineyards line is distributed in Rhode Island via MS Walker.
