Newport Seafood & Wine Festival

For over 30 years, the Newport Seafood & Wine Fest has enticed visitors to the area for over 30 years. The festival is very attractive, because it's a great way to learn about the varietals and blends Oregon wines offer and the vintners that make them. Dozens of regional growers and wineries tout their wares, from well-known to rare varieties.

No festival would be complete without food, art and community spirit. Local companies offer everything from jerky to gourmet nuts homemade jams and jellies and shortbread. You'll also find handcrafted jewelry, clothing and candles. Of course, there's always clam chowder, oysters and Dungeness crab. Check their website for dates and details.
