If you\u2019re looking to add some spice to your winter, consider a visit to Newport, Rhode Island for the inaugural edition of the Viking Wine Festival. The Viking Hotel will hold a sequence of winemaker-hosted dinners featuring top personalities from the world of the vine. No need to head to Napa or Sonoma to get cozy with the lush Cabs and buttery Chardonnays that draw throngs of oenophiles to the Golden State. Respected California wineries including Frog\u2019s Leap<\/a>, Donelan Family Wines<\/a> and Opus One Winery<\/a> will be headed east to participate. The five Saturday dinners run from January 23 until March 19, 2016.<\/p>\n

Wines will be paired with a four-course, fixed-price meal designed and executed by chef Barry Correia, who helms the Hotel Viking\u2019s One Bellevue kitchen.  Expect Correia to meticulously select the tastes that define this state\u2019s vibrant food culture to perfectly partner with each distinct wine. The Ocean State is bound to the sea, so look forward to an abundance of boat-to-table edibles. Meats, game, sustainably raised produce and luscious desserts will round out each menu. The all-inclusive cost is $95 per person, with the exception of the Opus One dinner, which costs $175.<\/p>\n

Bargain hunters are in luck as many of Newport\u2019s top-notch hotels\u2019 rates tumble during the chilly months. The Hotel Viking is offering budget-savvy overnight deals (starting at just $89!) so pack your toothbrush. You can spend the rest of the weekend exploring this coastal haven\u2019s year-round culinary scene and cold-weather coastal charms.<\/p>\n

Get Here: <\/strong>Ride the Peter Pan bus to Providence from Port Authority or take Amtrak from Penn Station. Once in Providence, you can hop bus number 60 run by RIPTA<\/a> from Kennedy Plaza towards Newport. Get off  at the last stop at Newport Gateway Center at 23 America\u2019s Cup Avenue. The ride from Providence takes just over an hour.<\/p>\n
