Hello from a sun-kissed July coast!

The afternoon breeze finally broke the string of humid mornings and we plan to celebrate with sand between our toes.

If you still need weekend plans, the calendar is packed: beach cleanup, bourbon at A+O, and a Motown concert on the Civic Green. Grab your sunscreen and your sense of adventure. Newport Beach is glowing, let’s dive in!

🍷 The Winery Restaurant

Waterfront dining doesn’t get much better than The Winery Restaurant & Wine Bar, where harbor views, top-shelf wine, and next-level service come standard.

Whether you're celebrating something special or just out for a refined evening, expect expertly seared steak, ultra-fresh seafood (The Winery Cioppino is a favorite), and thoughtful touches that make you feel like a VIP.

Pro-tip: live music and sunset views seal the deal. Learn more here.
