Oftentimes we’re so excited about where we’re going – counting down every mile and keeping an eye on each minute – that we forget to stop and savor the journey. While your destination, Newport Vineyards, promises a delightful experience with stunning views, the scenic drive to Newport Vineyards in Middletown, Rhode Island is just as spectacular, no matter the time of the year.
Go a bit off-the-beaten path when you follow Route 114 from Providence to Middletown, a 28-mile drive that’s dotted with spectacular landscapes and several must-stop attractions.
If you’re just driving straight through, you can finish the scenic drive in Rhode Island in less than an hour, not taking traffic into consideration. However, you might want to make a day of it, stopping at destinations along the way before you arrive at Newport Vineyards.
Scenic Route 114 meanders through several darling small towns, including Barrington, Warren, and Bristol. Get out, stretch your legs, and explore Blithewold Mansion, Gardens, and Arboretum.
The road will take you past Colt State Park, too, perhaps best known as the “gem of the Rhode Island state park system.” On a windy day, fly a kite, or go for a leisurely walk along the water.
As you drive along Route 114 in Bristol, you might want to stop by the Audubon Nature Center and Aquarium, where you’ll find plenty to do indoors and outdoors. Marvel at the aquatic animals indoors then explore one of the scenic trails outside.
