SUMMARY:From Vine to Wine: Unexpected Treasures from the Cellar at Ocean House
DESCRIPTION:From Vine to Wine: Unexpected Treasures from the Cellar invites wine lovers to look beyond famous labels and familiar regions during a guided tasting at Ocean House in Watch Hill on Saturday\, August 22. \nBeginning at 3:30 p.m. in the resort’s Center for Wine & Culinary Arts\, the $95 tasting turns the spotlight toward bottles that can be easy to overlook: lesser-known producers\, wines from unexpected regions and selections that Ocean House’s sommelier team believes are drinking particularly well right now. \nIt’s less about chasing prestigious labels and more about one of the pleasures that keeps wine interesting in the first place: finding something you didn’t know you were looking for. \nFinding the Bottles Hiding in Plain Sight\nA large wine cellar inevitably develops its sleepers. \nSome bottles arrive from regions that don’t have the name recognition of Bordeaux\, Burgundy or Napa. Others come from smaller producers\, or simply get overshadowed by more familiar selections on a wine list. \nFor this edition of Ocean House’s From Vine to Wine series\, the sommelier team has gone into the cellar specifically looking for those wines. \nEach selection has been chosen because there’s something worth discovering in the bottle now\, whether that’s its quality\, its value or the way it has developed with time. The tasting is intended to introduce guests to wines they might otherwise pass over when choosing from a restaurant list or browsing a wine shop. \nThe actual bottles aren’t being announced in advance\, which is part of the point. Guests arrive without a list of celebrated labels telling them what they’re supposed to like. \nA Tasting for the Curious\, Not Just Collectors\nDespite the cellar-focused premise\, this isn’t being presented as an event exclusively for experienced wine collectors. \nOcean House describes the tasting as relaxed and lighthearted\, with both collectors and curious wine drinkers welcome. The resort’s broader wine program similarly uses guided tastings to help guests explore different regions\, styles and approaches to winemaking with its sommeliers. \nThat makes Unexpected Treasures particularly approachable for someone who enjoys wine but wants to move beyond ordering the same varietals or regions every time. \nThere’s also something useful about tasting this way. A famous name can create expectations before the cork ever leaves the bottle. An unfamiliar producer or region forces the wine to make its own case. \nInside the Center for Wine & Culinary Arts\nThe tasting takes place in one of the more unusual spaces at Ocean House. \nThe Center for Wine & Culinary Arts serves as the resort’s home for cooking demonstrations\, culinary classes and wine education. Ocean House runs programming there throughout the year\, ranging from introductory tastings to more focused explorations of particular wine regions and styles. \nThe wine program is overseen by Matthew MacCartney\, whose background bridges both sides of the kitchen door. \nMacCartney is a chef by training and has worked at restaurants including Daniel\, Gramercy Tavern and Craft in New York\, Les Prés d’Eugénie in France and Cibrèo in Florence. He later co-owned Jamestown Fish in Rhode Island\, where the wine program received Wine Spectator’s Best Award of Excellence five times. \nToday\, he oversees the wine programs at Ocean House and Weekapaug Inn along with the wine experiences presented through the Center for Wine & Culinary Arts. He holds the Wine & Spirit Education Trust’s Level 4 Diploma in Wines and also serves as Wine Director for the Newport Mansions Wine & Food Festival. \nThat depth helps explain why Ocean House can build an entire tasting around bottles sitting quietly in its own cellar rather than simply assembling a lineup of recognizable names. \nPart of a Full Wine Program at Ocean House\nUnexpected Treasures is one installment in Ocean House’s continuing From Vine to Wine programming. \nOther 2026 tastings have explored questions of wine value and specific regions\, while the following Saturday’s class\, Uncovering Wines of Europe\, turns toward lesser-known European selections including Grüner Veltliner\, Etna Rosso\, Chinon\, Franciacorta and Mencía. \nOcean House also offers shorter Sippin’ with the Somms sessions as part of its regular resort programming. On August 22\, a Seasonal Wines session is scheduled for 2:30 p.m.\, followed by Unexpected Treasures at 3:30 p.m. \nEvent Details\nEvent: From Vine to Wine: Unexpected Treasures from the Cellar\nDate: Saturday\, August 22\, 2026\nTime: 3:30 p.m.\nPrice: $95 per guest\, plus tax and service charge\nLocation: Center for Wine & Culinary Arts at Ocean House\nAddress: 1 Bluff Avenue\, Watch Hill\, RI 02891 \nTickets are non-refundable. \n

SUMMARY:Kentucky Derby at Ocean House
DESCRIPTION:There’s a certain kind of afternoon that feels like stepping into another world… and the Kentucky Derby at Ocean House leans all the way into it. Think ocean views instead of Churchill Downs\, but the same sense of occasion—mint juleps in hand\, the hum of conversation building\, and a room full of people who showed up ready to make it an event. The Seaside Ballroom & Gallery sets the tone\, elegant but lively\, as guests settle in for a day that’s as much about the atmosphere as it is the race. \nThe details carry it. Derby-inspired cocktails\, heavy hors d’oeuvres that keep things moving without ever feeling rushed\, and the race itself playing out on screen as the crowd leans in together for those final moments. It’s not just watching… it’s reacting\, cheering\, and sharing that energy with everyone around you. There’s a rhythm to it—the slow build\, the anticipation\, and then that quick burst of excitement when it all comes down to the wire. \nAnd then there’s the fashion. This is one of those rare events where going all in actually makes it better. Statement hats\, sharp suits\, Southern-inspired looks… it’s all part of the experience\, especially with best dressed competitions woven into the afternoon. It gives the whole thing a playful edge\, a reason to lean into the theme and enjoy it. If you’re looking for something that feels polished\, social\, and just a little over the top in the best way\, this is how you do Derby Day without ever leaving the coast.\nthroughout the afternoon.
