Reviews summary
Newport Vineyards offers a beautiful ambiance and a diverse selection of wines and craft beers, making it an attractive destination.

What Aubrey Veselick dislikes about Taproot Brewing Co.:
I now understand why this restaurant is empty when it has the potential to be busy. The food was simply inedible. I ordered the snack plate, and the candied bacon was gray and rubbery. The deviled egg was just a single hard-boiled egg that had an overpowering clove flavor, and the frickles were soggy, burnt, and tasted stale. On a positive note, the fried chips and pretzels were good, and I have no complaints about t... View all feedback.

What a fantastic place! The staff is always incredibly attentive. I love the wine selection, and the food was excellent. Overall, we had a wonderful dining experience. We visited for brunch, and the price per person was over $100.
Taproot is a great spot to grab a beer and some food made from local ingredients. The location is easy to get to (right on the main road) and the setting is beautiful. If it's your first visit I would recommend getting a flight so you can try different beers and figure out what you like. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Tasty beer...try the F bomb.Good wine...try the Rose.Stroll in the vineyard....drink it in...
The setting of the vineyard is quite picturesque, try the gourmet cheese, honey and spicy jam with bread.
FANTASTIC FABULOUS experience! We have been several times to Newport Vineyards but have not eaten there nor tried the brews at Tap Root. This was a first for us and we were completely blown away by the food. The beer was equally as delicious and we highly recommend trying the Tap Root as well as touring the vineyard as well.
Well, if you want bad food, mediocre service and wine that tastes like vinegar, this is your place! I’m not sure what this company is known for, I guess the beer is good, but the one that was available to order was acceptable at best. The pretzels came out soggy, the salad looked like it had been chopped in a bowl like in a to go shop, and the porterhouse steak shown in the picture was tough. No steak knife given to cut through it, you just have to use the butter knife.. We ordered the dessert board, lord help us. Two different offerings of “gourmet” gummy bears, some nut chocolate thing that barely looked presentable, a snickerdoodle, which was unfortunately the best thing on the plate, a Baby Yoda looking chocolate chip and lemon (huh? mini cupcake and a glorified chocolate covered little Debbie cake with some gold bubbles on top.. The dessert plate was “under the sea” themed. Maybe it should stay there.The pretzels we ordered were forgotten and we had to ask for them, the server brought out the bill before the dessert, and each plate seemed like it took forever to come out. They weren’t that busy, but maybe with the cookout they had, maybe they were all on their last legs?With so many places to eat, I would look elsewhere. I was hoping to like this place, but alas, we left unhappy.
Make a reservation, at least on the weekend. We arrived on a Saturday afternoon. It wasn't just a wait, it was a flat out, we are booked, head of on your merry way.We were being navie visitors, just don't be like us.
