Full description
Join a tasting tour of Providence’s local libations, including delicious beer and spirits produced right here in Rhode Island’s capital city. Between sipping on local brews, learn about the incredible history of Rhode Island prohibition in a state that never ratified the Prohibition amendment.
Immigrant-rich Providence found it a little too difficult to part with its Old World drinking cultures, despite what the Feds had decided was “moral.” From the zealous coalition who brought it to Congress, to liquor loopholes, to famous bootleggers and undercover agents and corrupt officials, Providence’s Prohibition history is rich with characters and culture you won’t find anywhere else.
Meet in the Lobby of Hotel Providence and enjoy this 1.2 mile walking and tasting tour. Visit and enjoy local restaurants such as Malted Barley, Track 15, , Moonshine Alley, and Plant City while learning the ins and outs of Providence’s rich Prohibition history.
