Greenvale Vineyards Located on a 50 acre picturesque historic farm in Portsmouth, Greenvale is Rhode Island's only still-active gentleman's farm. A restored Victorian gem, Greenvale's wine tasting room barn, and some of its other famous buildings, are on the National Historic Register. The farm-turned-winery, has been in the same family for five generations, and now produces about 3500 cases of wine. The bucolic vineyard sits on rolling hills, overlooking the Sakonnet River. Pack a picnic lunch, and enjoy some terrific views with equally appealing regional wines. Vidal Blanc has been called New England's Pinot Grigio and Cabernet Franc, one of the main Bordeaux blending grapes, is a very tasty and drinkable red wine on its own. Minutes from downtown Newport, but worlds away. Enjoy jazz at the vineyard on summer and fall weekends.
