Newport Mansions Wine and Food brochure a008000000DRy26 : Page 3
welcome Welcome to the fifth annual Newport Mansions Wine & Food Festival. How time flies! It seems like only yesterday that we began thinking about how we could create a new, signature event that would complement and benefit from the elegance of the NewportMansions, while in turn benefiting their ongoing maintenance. And now here we are celebrating our fifth anniversary, having quickly grown into an event that attracts attendees, exhibitors, and sponsors from around the world. Our theme says it all: The Right Season, The Right Place, The Right Wines. Certainly there is no more spectacular season or setting for an event such as this than the Newport Mansions in late September. And we have brought together for you here an astounding collection of the finest wines from around the world, along with great restaurants, caterers, chefs, wine experts, and other exhibitors. We welcome back our Presenting Sponsor, Food & Wine, as well as all of the other sponsors, restaurants, caterers, food companies, and other exhibitors without whom an event such as this could not take place. Their support, like yours, is making it possible for us to continue caring for these beautiful and irreplaceable historic houses. Please extend your thanks to all of our sponsors and exhibitors for making this possible. Whether you are attending for the first time or the fifth, we are grateful for your presence and your support, and welcome you to our “City by the Sea.” Please do take the time while you are here to experience the ambience and history that surrounds you, and to appreciate the wonderful heritage that you are helping to preserve.
