and the Hampton Roads harbor, Newport News
is a city rich in history with a variety of things to
see and do. From our central location—minutes
to Williamsburg and a short drive to Virginia
Beach—you can get close to ships, history
and the great outdoors—all in one fascinating
vacation destination.
As the 5th most populous city in Virginia,
No one knows for sure where Newport
News got its name. Legend has it that our city
is the namesake of Capt. Christopher Newport,
commander of the Susan Constant, one of three
ships that landed on Jamestown Island in 1607.
In the early days of Jamestown, Capt. Newport
made several voyages to Newport News,
bringing supplies, settlers, and news. By 1619, the
city was being called “Newport’s News,” and later
Newport News has a little more than 180,000 it was shortened to “Newport News.”

BEER, WINE AND SHINE TRAIL
W While visiting Coastal Virginia, there’s one
thing you can be sure of—you will never go
thirsty! Whatever your preference for sipping—
craft beer, distilled spirits, or a fine wine—a
number of adult beverage establishments have
recently opened in COVA… and more seem to be
popping up faster than you can say “Cheers!”

3 Barrels 3 Cities
Launching in the spring of 2019 will be our newly developed
spirits trail, called 3 Barrels 3 Cities. Similar in concept to 4 Taps
4 Cities (see below), the trail will be listed in our Toast the Coast
Pocket Guide.
To participate, simply visit one distillery in three cities (Newport
News, Hampton, and Smithfield), where your pocket guide will be
stamped. Once you’ve completed three visits, turn in your stamped
pocket guide to receive some cool Toast the Coast gear in return!
4 Taps 4 Cities
Though it was created as a temporary promotion to introduce
the public to the Toast the Coast beer, wine & shine trail, 4 Taps
4 Cities became so popular that we decided to keep it around a
little longer!
In this challenge, participants are invited to experience four
breweries in four different cities (Newport News, Hampton,
Williamsburg, and Smithfield). After receiving a stamp at four
breweries, participants can exchange their pocket guides for a
one-of-a-kind Toast the Coast beer-opening koozie. Those who
visit and receive a stamp from all breweries listed in the guide will
receive both a koozie AND a Toast the Coast t-shirt.
For more information about these challenges or to download the Please remember to drink responsibly.
