In Rhode Island more than just your average red grapes and green grapes are here, there are all kinds of wineries like, The Grapes of Roth, and Newport Vineyards. Newport Vineyards was originally planted in 1977 on a hill overlooking the Rhode Island Sound. The smell of fresh grapes and the Rhode Island Sound mixed with a cool climate make this spot on of the most desirable farming lands in the country, if not the world. The vineyard is under the care of John and Paul Nunes, who planted up to 60 acres. Francisco Nunes, the great grandfather of John and Paul Nunes, acquires the 51 acre Bailey Farm on Wyatt Road.  Known today as the Nunes Farm, this stone wall lined property is protected from development and planted to 30 acres of vineyard.  The farm dates back to 1701 and is listed on the National Historic Register.
