You don't need to fly across the country to tour wine vineyards when there are wonderful vineyards right in your own backyard. Here's your chance to tour three local vineyards learning how the wines are made and then stopping for the most enjoyable part -- the wine tasting. Visit Newport Vineyards & Winery (tour and tasting for four) in Middletown then onto Greenvale Vineyards located on the banks of the Sakonnet River in Portsmouth (tour for up to 10), then visit Sakonnet Vineyards, across the river in Little Compton, (also for up to 10 people), where you can sample some of their wines such as Rhode Island Red or Spinnaker White.
