The Newport Seafood and Wine Festival takes place every year in the quaint city of Newport on the Central Oregon Coast. Some of the regions finest chefs and resturants are represented as well as the best wines from all over the Northwest. It is a not to be missed event. Newport is located appoximetely 2 hours from Portland. Hotel rooms can be found here and more area information including other things to see and do can be found on the Area Info section.
