About this Experience

What you'll do:

Pick a starting point anywhere in Boston, Providence, or Newport, and Sip Happens builds a private craft beverage tour around your group's tastes. You get door-to-door pickup, a custom itinerary hitting breweries, wineries, or distilleries (or a mix of all three), a full sit-down meal at one of the stops, and a sober guide who handles every detail so your group can focus on the drinks.

  • Custom itinerary: Your guide builds the route around your preferences before the day starts, so every stop is one your group actually wants.

  • Door-to-door pickup: The tour begins and ends at your location, with no rideshare coordination or parking stress involved.

  • Three curated stops: Your itinerary includes visits to three top Boston-area breweries, wineries, or distilleries, with additional stops available for a fee.

  • Free samples: Every stop includes complimentary tastings so your group can compare and discover what they love.

  • Full meal included: One stop features a complete sit-down meal, with dietary requests accommodated when submitted in advance.

Behind-the-scenes tours at each venue give your group a real look at how the craft is made, and trivia with prizes keeps things entertaining between stops.

Why This Experience Stands Out:

  1. Behind-the-scenes access: Each venue offers a guided look at the production process, not just a tasting room visit.

  2. Reserved seating: Your group always has a dedicated space at each stop, no waiting around or squeezing in.

  3. Prizes and trivia: A running trivia game between stops adds a competitive edge and keeps the energy up.

  4. Sober, experienced guide: Your guide knows the venues, manages the pace, and makes sure everyone gets home safely.

  5. Fully customizable: Whether your group wants all breweries, all wineries, or a mix, the itinerary bends to fit what you want.
