ROAD TRIPS

    

 

Let’s toast to the Lake County Libation Trail! “It’s five o’clock somewhere,” as suds aficionados, vino connoisseurs and spirit enthusiasts will be elated with these glasses of “liquid courage.” The Lake County Libation Trail is highlighted by 28 of the most delectable flavors from locally-sourced ingredients. Whether your adult beverage is an ice-cold frothy lager, a dry red merlot or an old-fashioned on the rocks, Lake County has precisely what you need to make your taste buds dance.

When craft drinkers arrive at any participating location to launch your mobile pass. Check in by snapping a picture of the experience. Checking into five or more stops between October 1–31 automatically enters you into the running for possibly winning a bus tour with 95 WIIL ROCK. This bus tour permits you to take up to 10 friends ages 21 and older to visit three of your favorite breweries, wineries and distilleries. If libation-ers check into five or more participants of the Lake County Libation Trail between October 1-31 via indoor dining, outdoor sipping, curbside pickup or carryout, they are entered into a sweepstakes and can win an exclusive prize.
