About Sip Happens Tours
At Sip Happens Tours, we believe enjoying great craft beverages should be easy, fun, and memorable. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a local looking for something new, we make it simple to discover the best breweries, wineries, and distilleries in Boston, Providence, and Newport — all without the stress of planning or driving.
Our founders, John and Paulette, started Sip Happens Tours because they saw a gap in the way people experience local craft drinks. Too many tours focus on just one type of beverage or simply act as a ride from place to place. We wanted to create something better — a guided, social, behind-the-scenes experience where guests can truly connect with the people, stories, and flavors that make New England’s craft scene special.
We handle the details so you can focus on what matters: sipping, savoring, and making memories. From reserved seating and exclusive access to engaging trivia games and prizes, our tours are designed to give you a fun and relaxed day that’s worth every penny.
Private Tours for Special Occasions
Whether it’s a bachelor or bachelorette party, birthday celebration, or corporate outing, we’ll create a personalized itinerary just for you. We pick you up, drop you off, and make sure every moment is memorable.
