What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Taproot Brewing Co. is celebrated for its fantastic craft beer selection and delicious food, particularly its shareable plates and vineyard views. While many praise the knowledgeable staff and pleasant atmosphere, some visitors have noted issues with service during busy periods and a lack of diverse dietary options, especially vegan choices.
"The gift and wine shop is so cute and inviting and the staff are very friendly and knowledgeable about the wine. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and the food is so delicious. The vegetables are roasted in maple syrup and I ate all of them. I will come back again when I visit Newport.💙"

"This was our first time checking out the brewery part of Newport vineyards. It was a quiet day and there was lots of seating with great views through the windows the vineyards. Definitely recommend coming in the off season for quieter vibes. It’s a busy place in the warm months. They had a lot of great snack deals and a full menu when it’s the busy season. Their full pour for the Big Lebrewski was worth the trip!"

"Beer and wine choices are fantastic and universally delicious.
We skipped apps and got the roast beef sub and the Saturday special, smoked beef ribs. Just dynamite. Delicious.
Chefs allowed the ribs to shine instead of over seasoning. Well done!!!
The sub was mouthwatering, as well.
Looking forward to going back for a few drinks and try a few of the apps."
