Experience the opulence and decadence of The Gilded Age, a brief period in American history from approximately 1870 to 1900, as we meander through byways and along the shore of Newport, RI. Newport is rich with history, especially around the American Revolution, and the Gilded Age. First is entry to The Breakers, home of Cornelius Vanderbilt II. Learn the lineage of the family and how the Vanderbilt fortune was amassed over time. Next we will tour The Elms, home of coal magnate, Edward Berwind. Driving the Ocean drive and into downtown, I'll share my memories of family reunions on Narragansett Bay and discuss the British occupation of Newport. We then visit Newport Vineyards for wine/beer tasting. Light dining is available at the winery Wednesday through Sunday, or we can dine at one of the great restaurants downtown. Dining together, we'll have a chance to get to know one another. This is my favorite part of the tour. Wine and beer packs are available for purchase, (not to be consumed in the vehicle)
