About Brix and Newport Vineyards
Planted in 1977, Newport Vineyards has been a picturesque part of Middletown since its inception, and has grown to become the largest grower of wine grapes in New England. Owners John and Paul Nunes are both Newport natives, and have a full appreciation for the unique winemaking climate that Aquidneck Island gives. Their vineyard produces a range of high-quality wines from Merlot to Moscato, all of which are served at their restaurant. Opened last fall, Brix is Newport Vineyards’ entry into the culinary landscape on Aquidneck Island. The on-vineyard restaurant currently serves dinner Wednesday-Saturday, with plans to open seven days a week during the season.
