The 18th Newport Mansions Wine & Food Festival Presented by J.P. Morgan Wealth Management, scheduled for this weekend, September 22-24 at Rosecliff,
Closed since January 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 – sponsored by J.P. Morgan Wealth Management – 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 Friday evening. A Sunday Festival Brunch will take place in the elegant Rosecliff Ballroom. A number of seminars and the brunch have already sold out.

The weekend is loaded with phenomenal seminars, and we expect tickets to go quickly, so don’t wait!”
