Quick Details
Wine & Brine Boat Cruise
Join us as we welcome aboard local oyster farmer Graham Watson, owner of West Passage Oyster Co., for the freshest oyster experience in town! Graham will be shucking his oysters as he discusses oyster farming offshore of the John Chafee Nature preserve in the West Passage of Narragansett Bay, as our servers keep the wine and prosecco flowing for a memorable cruising experience!
Want to try you hand at shucking? Graham will be demonstrating his best techniques for a fun hands-on experience to those who wish to learn. Surely, the quintessential culinary/boating event of the summer here in Providence!
