Belcourt Mansion is just a small part of a larger picture — one that celebrates Rhode Island history and culture. It all stems from Carolyn Rafaelian, a native entrepreneur who values the human aspect of business.
Her other ventures include Bar and Board Bistro — a classic Newport-inspired restaurant — and reviving Carolyn’s Sakonnet Vineyard, New England’s oldest vineyard, auspiciously located on the 42nd parallel. She’s also the Founder, CEO, and Chief Creative Officer of ALEX AND ANI.
