The Chanler at Cliff Walk has rolled out its wine garden experience for summer 2025. From May 23 to September 1, visitors can enjoy the Ca’ del Bosco Wine Garden, a scenic spot overlooking Easton’s Bay.
Guests can kick back in Adirondack chairs under shady umbrellas while sipping Franciacorta or refreshing spritzers. It’s the perfect place to unwind after exploring Newport’s famous Cliff Walk or just to escape for a while.
The wine garden is open daily from noon to 6 p.m., weather permitting. You don’t need reservations, and parking is free. Seating is first-come, first-served, so it’s worth arriving early to snag a good spot.
According to the hotel, it’s all about relaxing, enjoying great wine, and soaking in Newport’s timeless charm with the sea breeze as your backdrop.
While the wine garden is generally open to everyone, keep in mind it might be closed on certain days for private events. You can check the full calendar on the hotel’s website to plan your visit.
