The @newport.mansions Wine & Food Festival is rais The @newport.mansions Wine & Food Festival is raising a glass to its 20th year in decadent style, September 18–21, with Rosecliff and Marble House serving as the gilded backdrop. And this year, all eyes are on culinary powerhouse Marcus Samuelsson, who will headline two marquee events that promise to blend flavor, culture, and a dash of star power.

Born in Ethiopia and raised in Sweden, Samuelsson has built an empire of acclaimed restaurants stretching from New York to Miami to Addis Ababa, collecting eight James Beard Awards and a string of TV credits from Chopped to Netflix’s Iron Chef. At Newport, he’ll helm the exclusive Vintner Dinner on September 19, crafting a signature first course alongside celebrated chefs Kevin Des Chenes, Terence Feury, and Adam Young. The following day, Rosecliff hosts “In Conversation with Marcus Samuelsson,” an intimate dive into his remarkable culinary journey and philosophy of taste.

The festival’s 20th edition isn’t just about big names; it’s about indulgence in every form. Over 23 tasting seminars will uncork the best in wine, spirits, and craft beer, while the brand-new Soiree du Vin adds a chic twist to the lineup. Whether your palate leans toward pinot noir, bourbon, or caviar, the program reads like a gourmand’s dream.

“This milestone year is going to be unforgettable,” said Trudy Coxe, CEO of The Preservation Society of Newport County. “Chef Samuelsson brings an international flair, and our expanded seminars and new events will celebrate this festival in fine style.”

Tickets, including access to the legendary Tasting Tent, go on sale Thursday, July 31, at 9 a.m. Proceeds benefit the Preservation Society and its stewardship of Newport’s iconic historic properties. 

More details and tickets are available at newportmansions.org/events/newport-mansions-wine-food-festival-2025.

For the first time in seven years, the Newport Inv For the first time in seven years, the Newport Invitational Lifeguard Tournament roared back to life, pitting some of the Northeast’s best ocean rescue teams against each other in a day of grit, skill, and serious wave wrangling. And when the spray settled, Easton’s Beach Surf Patrol stood tall, claiming the top spot in the Boat Division and proving why they’re one of Rhode Island’s most respected crews.

Boat Division results:
1️⃣ Easton’s Beach @eastonsbeach_surfpatrol
2️⃣ Narragansett Beach @narragansettsurfrescue
3️⃣ Sachuest Beach @secondbeachsurfrescue
4️⃣ Westerly Town Beach @westerlysurfrescue
5️⃣ Long Beach Township (NJ) @lbtbeachpatrol 

Non-Boat Division results:
1️⃣ Jones Beach (NY) @jonesbeachsurfracing
2️⃣ Connecticut State Park Lifeguards @ctstateparklifeguards
3️⃣ Nauset Beach (MA) @nausetbeachlifeguards 

Held under classic Newport summer skies, the tournament showcased everything that makes lifeguard culture legendary: teamwork, power, and absolute command of the ocean. For Easton’s Beach, the victory wasn’t just about medals—it was about defending home turf and keeping the rich tradition of surf rescue alive.

With the Invitational officially back on the calendar, the only question is: who’s ready to challenge the kings and queens of Easton’s Beach in 2026?
