Providence River Boat Company has delighted summer Providence waterway riders with a series of wine and spirits open-air cruises all summer long.

Featured were Gooseneck Vineyards, a North Kingstown-based brand that offers namesake Prosecco, Rosé, Sauvignon Blanc, Rhody Red and Wickford White; Providence-based The Industrious Spirit Company, Providence’s first distillery since Prohibition ended, which produces sustainably sourced vodkas, gins and bourbons, such as its Seaflow Gin, Ostreida Oyster Vodka, Structural Vodka, Ornamental Gin, Blue Velvet Bourbon, Patina Bourbon Barrel Aged Gin and Gemma Crystal Vodka; and Pawtucket-based RI Spirits, makers of the Rhodium line of handcrafted gins, vodkas and liqueurs.
