We are featuring a Raw Bar at the
Seafood & Wine Festival

Fresh from the Tide: Introducing the "Raw-some Bar"

This year, the Newport Seafood & Wine Festival is raising the bar—literally. Making its highly anticipated debut for 2026 is the Raw-some Bar, a dedicated seafood experience designed for those who crave the purest flavors of the Pacific Northwest.

Located in the heart of the festival, the Raw-some Bar specializes in chilled, pristine selections. Attendees can indulge in a rotating variety of fresh-shucked Pacific Northwest oysters.

Each serving is paired with classic accompaniments, including house-made mignonette, zesty cocktail sauce, and fresh lemon. To elevate the experience even further, the Raw-some Bar features a "Bubbles Bar" partnership with Varnum Vintners, offering Traditional Method Sparkling Wine and Force Carbonated Sparkling Wine pairings specifically selected to cut through the brine and enhance the sweetness of the shellfish.

Whether you’re a lifelong oyster aficionado or a curious newcomer, the Raw-some Bar offers a sophisticated, "raw" take on the festival’s famous seafood bounty. It’s a fresh, vibrant addition to the 50th Anniversary celebration, be sure to stop by and get a taste of the tide!
