The 10 Best Food & Drink in Rhode Island, United States
With the perfect combination of great seaside views, colorful local culture, and endless family activities, Rhode Island is a big vacation destination in a small package. Whether you are into art and culture, beautiful seaside sights, or great family-friendly activities, there is sure to be something for you in Rhode Island. If you're staying in Newport, try a breathtaking tour of the harbor in the Schooner Madeleine, or enjoy a bit of history at Fort Adams State Park. The Newport mansions are one of the most popular attractions around, and the nearby Cliff Walk is a great place for a hike. Narragansett is home to the lovely Narragansett Town Beach and Point Judith Lighthouse, and if you hop on the Block Island Ferry you are only a short trip away from Block Island, where you can enjoy the sights of the Mohegan Bluffs or party it up at Capt. Nick's Rock and Roll Bar. Take a drive up to Providence for some great shopping at Providence Place Mall and to visit the unforgettable Roger Williams Park Zoo.

Grey Sail Brewing is an awesome local brewery located in downtown Westerly. It’s hidden back yard bungalow is the coolest part! Not only do they offer delicious wood fired pizza and live music, they are dog friendly! They also offer local wine on tap if you’re not in the mood for beer. The staff is very friendly and kind. I’d recommend this for any visit. The backyard games, including a bocci court, corn hole, dart board, and board games keep the party going! I’d highly recommend this as a go to location for a good time!

Jim has a tremendous wealth of information about everything wine-related. The enthusiasm he showed while teaching us about wine Carrie's over to the quality of his product. I love ted wine and his St. Croix (2013) was a splendid wine. As good as any I gave had from Napa which is really something to say about this area of the country. I highly recommend you to call for a tour and tasting. You will end up buying a bottle (or more) of his fine wine.

We went on a Friday night....we were finishing up our RI Beer Passports. After a stop at another brewery and only one more stamp to get we decided to hightail it here and complete our RI beer experience. Well this place was jamming with people, buying presents and beer to hold them over. The staff here is what makes it fantastic. We went for a tasting which the beers were out of this world good. They took the time to stamp us and give us our victory beers. Truly a great experience. We will be back but maybe at a less busier night. This is a must in the Bucket!

Smug features a variety of beers, IPA, double IPA!, a great raspberry sour, and more. It's an on-site brewery/pub, so your beer will never be fresher. Comfortable seating, fun and games, and visiting food trucks make Smug a great spot to enjoy a brew or two.

Newport vineyard offered one of the most safe feeling dining experience I’ve had since restaurants have reopened in Rhode Island. My boyfriend and I celebrated an anniversary her on a sunny summer afternoon. We placed our reservation on open table prior to arriving. The reservation required a $45 hold on our CC. We arrived on time and were greeted by hand sanitizers and friendly staff. We were brought to our table quickly and the host went over their corona adjustments swiftly and clearly to us. We had a great experience sitting on the patio. They were super friendly to our pug pup and brought him water. The wine recommendations were perfect for a summer day and went wonderfully with our cheese board. The staff were always wearing a mask and would politely remind guests to put their mask on if they had forgotten when coming up to order. Tables were cleaned super fast after guest left. I would recommend the great white as a sweet wine.
